Tiktok Api Docs Mcp

TikTok API Docs MCP Server

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that provides semantic search and retrieval for TikTok API documentation using OpenAI's vector store. Compatible with ChatGPT connectors, deep research, and API integrations.

🎯 Purpose

This server enables AI models to search and retrieve TikTok API documentation through the Model Context Protocol. It's designed to work with:

• ChatGPT Connectors for enhanced chat capabilities
• Deep Research models (o4-mini-deep-research)
• Any MCP-compatible client

✨ Features

• Semantic Search: Search TikTok API documentation using natural language queries
• Document Retrieval: Fetch full documentation content by ID
• Vector Store Integration: Powered by OpenAI's vector store for accurate semantic search
• Dual Transport Support: Run via stdio (local) or SSE/HTTP (remote)
• ChatGPT Compatible: Implements the required search and fetch tools for ChatGPT integration

📋 Prerequisites

1. OpenAI API Key: Required for vector store operations
2. Bun Runtime: This project uses Bun for optimal performance
3. TikTok Documentation: Automatically downloaded during setup

🚀 Quick Start

1. Install Dependencies

bun install

2. Set up OpenAI API Key

export OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-your-api-key-here

3. Initialize Vector Store with TikTok Docs

# This downloads TikTok docs and uploads them to OpenAI vector store
bun run src/scripts/tikTokDocsToVectorStore.ts

This will:

• Download all TikTok API documentation (~200+ files)
• Create an OpenAI vector store named "TikTok API Documentation"
• Upload and index all documentation
• Save configuration to tiktok-docs/vector-store-config.json

4. Start the MCP Server

For HTTP/SSE mode (ChatGPT and remote access):

bun run start:http

For stdio mode (local MCP clients):

bun run start

🔗 Integration with ChatGPT

Via ChatGPT Connectors

1. Go to ChatGPT Settings → Connectors
2. Add new MCP server:

• URL: https://your-server-url/sse/
• Tools: search, fetch
• Approval: Set to "never" for deep research

Via OpenAI API

curl https://api.openai.com/v1/responses \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $OPENAI_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "o4-mini-deep-research",
    "input": [{
      "role": "user",
      "content": [{
        "type": "input_text",
        "text": "How do I create a TikTok ad campaign?"
      }]
    }],
    "tools": [{
      "type": "mcp",
      "server_label": "tiktok-docs",
      "server_url": "http://localhost:3001/sse/",
      "allowed_tools": ["search", "fetch"],
      "require_approval": "never"
    }]
  }'

🔒 Security Considerations

• API Keys: Never commit API keys to version control
• HTTPS: Use HTTPS in production environments
• Authentication: Implement authentication for public deployments
• Rate Limiting: Consider implementing rate limiting for API endpoints
• CORS: Configure appropriate CORS headers for your use case
