What it does
TikTok-hosted MCP server, opened to third-party agents in May 2026, that wraps about 400 TikTok API for Business endpoints: campaign and ad group management, Smart+ ad creation, audience targeting, creative operations, budgets, bids and integrated reports. Two modes: Full Disclosure (tt-ads-mcp-flat, all tools, recommended for Claude) and Progressive Disclosure (tt-ads-mcp-layer, about 40 core tools, the rest on demand). Sign-in is OAuth with a TikTok for Business account (no developer app). TikTok's Agentic Hub adds first- and third-party skills on top, such as a TikTok-built creative engine that ranks winning ads and a BytePlus Seedance 2.0 skill that rewrites a reference ad into a new product video.
Use when
- launch or pause TikTok campaigns from chat
- pull TikTok ad reports to find winning creatives
- create Smart+ ads and shift budgets between ad groups
Not for
- generating the video itself (use a creative tool, then upload)
- accounts you can't already reach in Ads Manager
