# TikTok Automation via Rube MCP
|
|
|
|
Automate TikTok content creation and profile operations through Composio's TikTok toolkit via Rube MCP.
|
|
|
|
## Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
- Rube MCP must be connected (RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS available)
|
|
- Active TikTok connection via `RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS` with toolkit `tiktok`
|
|
- Always call `RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS` first to get current tool schemas
|
|
|
|
## Setup
|
|
|
|
**Get Rube MCP**: Add `https://rube.app/mcp` as an MCP server in your client configuration. No API keys needed — just add the endpoint and it works.
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Verify Rube MCP is available by confirming `RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS` responds
|
|
2. Call `RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS` with toolkit `tiktok`
|
|
3. If connection is not ACTIVE, follow the returned auth link to complete TikTok OAuth
|
|
4. Confirm connection status shows ACTIVE before running any workflows
|
|
|
|
## Core Workflows
|
|
|
|
### 1. Upload and Publish a Video
|
|
|
|
**When to use**: User wants to upload a video and publish it to TikTok
|
|
|
|
**Tool sequence**:
|
|
1. `TIKTOK_UPLOAD_VIDEO` or `TIKTOK_UPLOAD_VIDEOS` - Upload video file(s) [Required]
|
|
2. `TIKTOK_FETCH_PUBLISH_STATUS` - Check upload/processing status [Required]
|
|
3. `TIKTOK_PUBLISH_VIDEO` - Publish the uploaded video [Required]
|
|
|
|
**Key parameters for upload**:
|
|
- `video`: Video file object with `s3key`, `mimetype`, `name`
|
|
- `title`: Video title/caption
|
|
|
|
**Key parameters for publish**:
|
|
- `publish_id`: ID returned from upload step
|
|
- `title`: Video caption text
|
|
- `privacy_level`: 'PUBLIC_TO_EVERYONE', 'MUTUAL_FOLLOW_FRIENDS', 'FOLLOWER_OF_CREATOR', 'SELF_ONLY'
|
|
- `disable_duet`: Disable duet feature
|
|
- `disable_stitch`: Disable stitch feature
|
|
- `disable_comment`: Disable comments
|
|
|
|
**Pitfalls**:
|
|
- Video upload and publish are TWO separate steps; upload first, then publish
|
|
- After upload, poll FETCH_PUBLISH_STATUS until processing is complete before publishing
|
|
- Video must meet TikTok requirements: MP4/WebM format, max 10 minutes, max 4GB
|
|
- Caption/title has character limits; check current TikTok guidelines
|
|
- Privacy level strings are case-sensitive and must match exactly
|
|
- Processing may take 30-120 seconds depending on video size
|
|
|
|
### 2. Post a Photo
|
|
|
|
**When to use**: User wants to post a photo to TikTok
|
|
|
|
**Tool sequence**:
|
|
1. `TIKTOK_POST_PHOTO` - Upload and post a photo [Required]
|
|
2. `TIKTOK_FETCH_PUBLISH_STATUS` - Check processing status [Optional]
|
|
|
|
**Key parameters**:
|
|
- `photo`: Photo file object with `s3key`, `mimetype`, `name`
|
|
- `title`: Photo caption text
|
|
- `privacy_level`: Privacy setting for the post
|
|
|
|
**Pitfalls**:
|
|
- Photo posts are a newer TikTok feature; availability may vary by account type
|
|
- Supported formats: JPEG, PNG, WebP
|
|
- Image size and dimension limits apply; check current TikTok guidelines
|
|
|
|
### 3. List and Manage Videos
|
|
|
|
**When to use**: User wants to view their published videos
|
|
|
|
**Tool sequence**:
|
|
1. `TIKTOK_LIST_VIDEOS` - List user's published videos [Required]
|
|
|
|
**Key parameters**:
|
|
- `max_count`: Number of videos to return per page
|
|
- `cursor`: Pagination cursor for next page
|
|
|
|
**Pitfalls**:
|
|
- Only returns the authenticated user's own videos
|
|
- Response includes video metadata: id, title, create_time, share_url, duration, etc.
|
|
- Pagination uses cursor-based approach; check for `has_more` and `cursor` in response
|
|
- Recently published videos may not appear immediately in the list
|
|
|
|
### 4. View User Profile and Stats
|
|
|
|
**When to use**: User wants to check their TikTok profile info or account statistics
|
|
|
|
**Tool sequence**:
|
|
1. `TIKTOK_GET_USER_PROFILE` - Get full profile information [Required]
|
|
2. `TIKTOK_GET_USER_STATS` - Get account statistics [Optional]
|
|
3. `TIKTOK_GET_USER_BASIC_INFO` - Get basic user info [Alternative]
|
|
|
|
**Key parameters**: (no required parameters; returns data for authenticated user)
|
|
|
|
**Pitfalls**:
|
|
- Profile data is for the authenticated user only; cannot view other users' profiles
|
|
- Stats include follower count, following count, video count, likes received
|
|
- `GET_USER_PROFILE` returns more details than `GET_USER_BASIC_INFO`
|
|
- Stats may have slight delays; not real-time
|
|
|
|
### 5. Check Publish Status
|
|
|
|
**When to use**: User wants to check the status of a content upload or publish operation
|
|
|
|
**Tool sequence**:
|
|
1. `TIKTOK_FETCH_PUBLISH_STATUS` - Poll for status updates [Required]
|
|
|
|
**Key parameters**:
|
|
- `publish_id`: The publish ID from a previous upload/publish operation
|
|
|
|
**Pitfalls**:
|
|
- Status values include processing, success, and failure states
|
|
- Poll at reasonable intervals (5-10 seconds) to avoid rate limits
|
|
- Failed publishes include error details in the response
|
|
- Content moderation may cause delays or rejections after processing
|
|
|
|
## Common Patterns
|
|
|
|
### Video Publish Flow
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
1. Upload video via TIKTOK_UPLOAD_VIDEO -> get publish_id
|
|
2. Poll TIKTOK_FETCH_PUBLISH_STATUS with publish_id until complete
|
|
3. If status is ready, call TIKTOK_PUBLISH_VIDEO with final settings
|
|
4. Optionally poll status again to confirm publication
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Pagination
|
|
|
|
- Use `cursor` from previous response for next page
|
|
- Check `has_more` boolean to determine if more results exist
|
|
- `max_count` controls page size
|
|
|
|
## Known Pitfalls
|
|
|
|
**Content Requirements**:
|
|
- Videos: MP4/WebM, max 4GB, max 10 minutes
|
|
- Photos: JPEG/PNG/WebP
|
|
- Captions: Character limits vary by region
|
|
- Content must comply with TikTok community guidelines
|
|
|
|
**Authentication**:
|
|
- OAuth tokens have scopes; ensure video.upload and video.publish are authorized
|
|
- Tokens expire; re-authenticate if operations fail with 401
|
|
|
|
**Rate Limits**:
|
|
- TikTok API has strict rate limits per application
|
|
- Implement exponential backoff on 429 responses
|
|
- Upload operations have daily limits
|
|
|
|
**Response Parsing**:
|
|
- Response data may be nested under `data` or `data.data`
|
|
- Parse defensively with fallback patterns
|
|
- Publish IDs are strings; use exactly as returned
|
|
|
