Douyin_TikTok_Download_API MCP Server: Setup for Claude, Codex and Other Apps

• Works out what a link points at and fetches it

  Takes a Douyin, TikTok or Bilibili link, or pasted share text with a link in it, follows short links, and returns the post, profile, sound or hashtag it points to.

  Try: “Fetch the details of this TikTok link: https://vm.tiktok.com/abc123”

  Network · parse_url

• Gets one post by its ID

  Returns one video or image album with its author, stats, media links and tags. Ids are passed as text.

  Try: “Get the stats for TikTok post 7100000000000000000.”

  Network · get_video

• Gets one author profile

  Returns an author profile by stable id. TikTok also accepts an @handle, while Douyin needs a profile link run through the link tool first.

  Try: “Get the profile for the TikTok account @example.”

  Network · get_user

• Lists an author's posts, one page at a time

  Returns a page of an author's posts with a cursor for the next page. Page sizes are capped at 50, and 35 on TikTok and 20 on Bilibili.

  Try: “List the latest 20 posts from this Bilibili uploader.”

  Network · list_user_posts

• Lists top-level comments on a post

  Returns one page of top-level comments, hottest first by default. Replies under a comment are not included.

  Try: “Show the top comments on this Douyin video.”

  Network · list_comments

• Shows how a post's or author's numbers changed

  Reads counter snapshots your instance already stored, such as plays, likes and followers, over a period that defaults to 30 days. It makes no request to the platform and returns nothing for items your instance has never fetched.

  Try: “How did the plays on this video grow over the last two weeks?”

  Read · get_content_history

• Checks the health of the instance's identities

  Reports counts of the instance's identities by state and which endpoints are tripped, so the assistant can tell "try later" from "broken". It shows no cookies or credentials.

  Try: “Is the identity pool healthy right now?”

  Read · pool_status

• Saves a post's video or images on your instance

  Stores a post's media on the disk of the machine running your instance. It needs an API key with the media write scope and fetches the post first if the instance has not seen it.

  Try: “Download the video from this TikTok link.”

  Write · download_media

• Turns a downloaded video into text

  Transcribes a video you downloaded earlier, using the speech-to-text service running beside your instance. It needs the transcription write scope and the transcriber profile running.

  Try: “Transcribe the video we just downloaded.”

  Runs code · transcribe_video

• Collects a result that took too long

  Returns the result of a request that was still running when the call timed out, so the assistant does not repeat the work. The wait defaults to 60 seconds.

  Try: “Get the result of task 3f6c.”

  Read · get_task_result

Watch out for

• It saves files to your server's disk

  The download tool stores media on the machine running the project. Use a key without the media write scope if you do not want that. github.com

• It scrapes sites that restrict automated access

  Platforms can block or rate-limit the instance, and scraping may breach their terms. Check the rules before bulk use. github.com

• The endpoint accepts an API key and nothing else

  Claude Desktop needs a bridge because its connector screen uses OAuth. Keep the key out of shared config files. github.com
