# Boring TikTok Publisher Publish videos and photo carousels to TikTok. Powered by [Boring](https://boring-doc.aiagent-me.com). ## Security & Data Handling - **MCP link is a credential**: Your MCP Server URL (`https://boring.aiagent-me.com/mcp/t/xxxxx...`) contains an embedded authentication token. Treat it like a password — do not share it publicly. - **Token scope**: The embedded token grants **publish access** to your connected social media accounts. It can create posts, upload media, and manage scheduled posts on the platforms you have connected. It cannot access your social media passwords or modify account settings. - **Token storage**: The token is stored server-side in Boring's database (MongoDB on DigitalOcean). It is never written to your local filesystem. You can regenerate or revoke it anytime at [boring.aiagent-me.com/settings](https://boring.aiagent-me.com/settings). - **Data flow**: Analytics queries are sent from Boring's server (Google Cloud, us-central1) to the platform's API on your behalf. Only performance metrics are retrieved — no content is uploaded or modified. - **No local credentials**: No local API keys, environment variables, or secrets are needed. All auth is embedded in the MCP link. - **Third-party service**: This skill relies on [Boring](https://boring.aiagent-me.com), an open-source social media management tool.

The creator must manually publish it in the TikTok app. ``` boring_publish_post( account_id="<tiktok_account_id>", platform="tiktok", text="Review this before posting", media_urls=["https://...video.mp4"], draft=true ) ``` This is useful when: - The user wants to preview before going live - Adding TikTok-specific effects or music in the app - Content needs final approval ### Step 5: Report Show: - Post ID and success status - If draft: inform user to check their TikTok inbox to finalize ## TikTok-Specific Notes - **Media required**: TikTok needs either a video or photos - **Privacy**: Default is `PUBLIC_TO_EVERYONE`. Other options: `MUTUAL_FOLLOW_FRIENDS`, `FOLLOWER_OF_CREATOR`, `SELF_ONLY` - **Video limits**: Max 4GB, max 10 minutes - **Photo carousel**: Up to 35 images (PNG auto-converts to JPEG) - **Draft mode**: Sends to creator's inbox for manual publish - **Token**: 24-hour access token with auto-refresh (refresh token lasts 1 year) - **Permissions**: `video.upload`, `video.publish` ## Error Handling | Error | Solution | |-------|----------| | `MediaRequired` | TikTok requires video or photos | | `MediaTooLarge` | Video max 4GB | | `VideoProcessingFailed` | Check video format — MP4 recommended | | `TokenExpired` | Reconnect at boring.aiagent-me.com | | `PublishingFailed` | Check TikTok account status and permissions | ## Documentation Full API docs: [boring-doc.aiagent-me.com](https://boring-doc.aiagent-me.com)
