Understand advertiser performance
Read TikTok reports with advertiser-scoped dimensions and metrics. Ask your agent to summarize changes in spend, impressions, clicks, and available conversion measures.
TikTok Ads MCP server
Your TikTok Ads.
In your AI agent.
Connect TikTok advertiser data to your agent for reporting and guarded campaign operations. Keep sandbox testing separate from production while investigating spend and delivery.
Available locally with npm. Set up TikTok Ads
Built for this platform
What you can do with TikTok Ads MCP
Inspect campaign delivery
List campaigns and review native budget modes, objectives, and operation status. Adport maps a paused campaign to TikTok’s DISABLE status.
Test and preview before production
Use the sandbox with matching credentials for development. In production, budget and campaign status changes still pass through the shared preview-and-apply gate.
Know what the data means
A successful local preview is not TikTok server validation. Campaign eligibility, advertiser review, budget rules, and API permissions can still prevent an approved operation from being accepted.
Local setup · Bring your own credentials
Prefer local setup for TikTok Ads?
The npm CLI and MCP server run on your machine. You need Node.js 22.13 or newer, your own provider credentials, and permission to access the ad account.
01 Install Adport
npm install -g adport02 Connect TikTok Ads
adport connect tiktokThe wizard asks you to choose sandbox or production. Keep that choice consistent with your app credentials and access token; sandbox credentials do not authorize production accounts.
03 Check your connection
adport doctor
adport accounts --provider tiktokCheck that the intended account appears before asking your agent to report on it. Never paste tokens, client secrets, or private keys into chat.
Register a local stdio client
For Claude Code:
claude mcp add --transport stdio adport -- adport mcpFor Cursor, merge this entry into your MCP configuration:
{
"mcpServers": {
"adport": {
"command": "adport",
"args": [
"mcp"
]
}
}
}ChatGPT uses an HTTP MCP endpoint instead of launching this local process.
Your tools. Your choice.
Use TikTok Ads from your agent.
Use the same Adport MCP endpoint and OAuth sign-in in each client. First connect your ad accounts in your Adport workspace. No platform secrets belong in chat.
Use TikTok Ads in ChatGPT
Enable developer mode, then open Settings → Apps → Create. Choose OAuth and use the endpoint below.
https://app.adport.dev/mcpScan the tools, finish Adport authorization, and enable the new app in your chat.
Developer mode and custom apps must be enabled for your ChatGPT account or workspace. In newer layouts, enable Developer mode under Settings → Security and login, then use the + button in Plugins to create your app. ChatGPT connects over HTTP; the local stdio command is for clients that can launch a process.
Use TikTok Ads in Codex
Run this command once and complete the browser authorization. Codex stores the MCP configuration and starts OAuth automatically.
codex mcp add adport --url https://app.adport.dev/mcpOnly if authorization did not start or you need to sign in again, run “codex mcp login adport”. Otherwise, check “codex mcp list” and ask Codex to list your ad accounts.
Use TikTok Ads in Claude Code
Add Adport at user scope so it is available across your local projects.
claude mcp add --transport http --scope user adport https://app.adport.dev/mcpRun /mcp inside Claude Code if the browser authorization does not open automatically.
Use TikTok Ads in Claude
Open Customize → Connectors → Add custom connector. Name it Adport and use the endpoint below.
https://app.adport.dev/mcpSelect Connect, approve the workspace, then enable Adport from the + menu in a conversation.
Use TikTok Ads in Cursor
Add this server to ~/.cursor/mcp.json, then restart Cursor.
{
"mcpServers": {
"adport": {
"url": "https://app.adport.dev/mcp"
}
}
}Approve the browser sign-in when prompted. Cursor will keep the OAuth session refreshed.
Use TikTok Ads in VS Code
Open the Command Palette and choose “MCP: Open User Configuration”, then add this server.
{
"servers": {
"adport": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://app.adport.dev/mcp"
}
}
}Start the Adport server from VS Code and complete the browser authorization.
Use the MCP URL from Agent access if you run your own Adport deployment. Client settings, workspace permissions, and advertising-platform approvals still apply. The Cloud waitlist below is separate from these connection instructions.
You stay in control
A suggestion is not a live change.
The first mutation call returns a preview and a short-lived pending-operation token. Applying requires that token and the same arguments. Budget caps and protected accounts are checked by the policy engine; new campaigns are paused by policy.
Local operations are recorded in an append-only audit log. An approved preview is not a guarantee of provider acceptance, and a connected agent does not grant additional account permissions.
TikTok Ads MCP questions
Can I test the TikTok MCP without changing live campaigns?
Use TikTok’s sandbox with sandbox credentials. For connected production accounts, the first mutation call is a preview; applying requires the pending-operation token and identical arguments.
Can I use TikTok Ads locally without Adport Cloud?
Yes. Install Adport from npm, connect your own TikTok Ads credentials, and register the local MCP server with a stdio-compatible agent such as Claude Code or Cursor. Your provider may have its own approval, access, or billing requirements.
Why can I connect an account but not read a report or apply a change?
Account discovery, reporting, and mutations can require different permissions. Check the requested account, provider app scopes, advertiser eligibility, and environment. Start with adport doctor and the connection guide above. Do not bypass a denied operation by sharing secrets with the agent.
