   git clone https://github.com/ysntony/tiktok-ads-mcp.git

3. Install Dependencies

   cd tiktok-ads-mcp
   pip install -e .
   # or with uv
   uv pip install -e .

Configuration

1. Set up environment variables in your MCP client configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tiktok-ads": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["-m", "tiktok_ads_mcp"],
      "env": {
        "TIKTOK_APP_ID": "your_app_id",
        "TIKTOK_SECRET": "your_secret",
        "TIKTOK_ACCESS_TOKEN": "your_access_token"
      }
    }
  }
}

2. Required credentials:

   • TIKTOK_APP_ID: Your TikTok app ID

   • TIKTOK_SECRET: Your TikTok app secret

   • TIKTOK_ACCESS_TOKEN: Your access token

   How to get these credentials:

   1. Go to the TikTok for Business Developers portal and log in.

   2. Click "My Apps" and create a new app.

   3. Select "Marketing API" as the service type.

   4. In the app settings, enable permissions related to Reading and Reporting (e.g., Ads Management, Reporting).

   5. Once approved, you will find your App ID and Secret in the app details.

   6. Generate an Access Token using the "TikTok Marketing API Inspector" or via the OAuth flow documented in the portal.
