TikTok Post

Upload and schedule videos to TikTok using the Publora MCP server. Supports privacy controls, interaction settings (comments, duet, stitch), and commercial content disclosure.

Prerequisites

Plans: Free Starter (15 posts/month), Pro, Premium

Getting Started

1. Create account at publora.com/register (free)
2. Connect TikTok via OAuth in Publora Dashboard
3. Get API key at publora.com/settings/api
4. Configure MCP in Claude Desktop (~/.claude/claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "publora": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.publora.com",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

REST API Fallback

If the MCP server is unavailable or returns errors, use the REST API directly:

Base URL: https://api.publora.com/api/v1

Authentication: Use x-publora-key header (NOT Authorization: Bearer):

# Get your connected platforms
curl -X GET "https://api.publora.com/api/v1/platform-connections" \
  -H "x-publora-key: sk_your_api_key"

# Create a post
curl -X POST "https://api.publora.com/api/v1/create-post" \
  -H "x-publora-key: sk_your_api_key" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "platforms": ["tiktok-99887766"],
    "content": "Video caption here #hashtag",
    "scheduledTime": "2026-03-25T10:00:00Z",
    "platformSettings": {
      "tiktok": {
        "viewerSetting": "PUBLIC_TO_EVERYONE",
        "allowComments": true
      }
    }
  }'

Platform ID Format: tiktok-{id} where {id} is from /platform-connections response.

Example IDs: tiktok-99887766, tiktok-123456789

Platform Settings (via REST API)

TikTok has 7 platform-specific settings controlled via platformSettings:

{
  "platformSettings": {
    "tiktok": {
      "viewerSetting": "PUBLIC_TO_EVERYONE",
      "allowComments": true,
      "allowDuet": false,
      "allowStitch": false,
      "commercialContent": false,
      "brandOrganic": false,
      "brandedContent": false
    }
  }
}

Viewer Settings (Required)

Interaction Settings

Commercial Content Settings

Note: If commercialContent is true, at least one of brandOrganic or brandedContent must also be true.

Note: platformSettings is not available via MCP - use REST API for these settings.

Critical Restrictions

1. Unaudited Apps = PRIVATE Only

CRITICAL: If your TikTok app hasn't passed TikTok's review process, you can ONLY post PRIVATE videos (SELF_ONLY). All other viewerSetting values will be overridden to SELF_ONLY.

To post public videos, your app must be audited by TikTok.

2. Video Only Platform

TikTok does NOT support:

• Text-only posts
• Image posts
• Photo carousels

Every post must include a video.

3. Minimum 23 FPS

Videos below 23 frames per second will be rejected by TikTok.

Examples

Basic Video Post

Post this video to TikTok:
"How we built our startup in 60 seconds #startup #tech #coding"

Private Draft (Testing)

Upload this video as a private draft to TikTok (only I can see it):
"Testing new content format"

Use viewerSetting: "SELF_ONLY" for testing before making public.

Branded Content

Post this sponsored video to TikTok with proper disclosure:
"Loving this new product from @brand! #ad #sponsored"

Set commercialContent: true and brandedContent: true for paid partnerships.

Scheduled Post

Schedule this TikTok video for tomorrow at 6 PM:
"Weekend vibes incoming! #weekend #fun"

Supported Video Formats

Recommendation: Use MP4 for best compatibility.

Best Practices

Content

1. Hook in first 3 seconds: Grab attention immediately
2. Optimal length: 15-60 seconds for best engagement
3. Trending sounds: Use trending audio when possible
4. Hashtag strategy: 3-5 relevant hashtags

Technical

1. Vertical video: 9:16 aspect ratio performs best
2. High quality: At least 720p resolution
3. 23+ FPS: Ensure smooth playback
4. MP4 format: Most reliable format

Timing

• Best times: 7-9 AM, 12-3 PM, 7-11 PM in target timezone
• Frequency: 1-3 posts per day for growth
• Consistency: Regular posting schedule helps algorithm
