# TikTok for your AI agent: search videos, read comments, profile creators

RouterGrowth gives an agent TikTok as data through one MCP server: search videos by keyword, pull a creator's recent posts, read the comments under a video and look up the profile with its bio link. No TikTok developer account, and each call is paid on its own.

## What your agent can do

| Capability | What it returns | Providers | From | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| [`social.search`](https://www.routergrowth.com/catalog/social.search) | Public posts matching a keyword on X, LinkedIn, Reddit, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram or Facebook: brand mentions, category conversations, competitor chatter. | Apify | $0.002 per result | live |
| [`social.posts`](https://www.routergrowth.com/catalog/social.posts) | Recent public posts for a social handle. | Apify | $0.002 per result | live |
| [`social.comments`](https://www.routergrowth.com/catalog/social.comments) | Comments on one public post URL (YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, LinkedIn, Reddit, and replies to a post on X): text, author, likes, replies, time. | Apify | $0.002 per result | live |
| [`social.profile`](https://www.routergrowth.com/catalog/social.profile) | Public profile data for a social handle: name, followers, bio, verified, plus the bio link, every listed link, the person's own domain (link hubs such as Linktree excluded), a public or business email when the profile exposes one, profile URL, business flag, category and location when the platform provides them. | Apify | $0.002 per match | live |

## Ask it like this

- Find the 30 most recent TikToks about meal prep and tell me which hooks repeat. (`social.search`)
- Read the comments on this video and group what people ask about the product. (`social.comments`)
- Profile these creators: followers, bio link and whether they list a business email. (`social.profile`)

## Connect

MCP server: `https://api.routergrowth.com/mcp` (OAuth, or an API key header).

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http routergrowth https://api.routergrowth.com/mcp
```

```bash
npm install -g routergrowth && routergrowth setup
routergrowth run -c social.search -i '{"platform": "tiktok", "query": "meal prep", "limit": 30}'
```

```bash
curl -X POST https://api.routergrowth.com/v1/run \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ROUTERGROWTH_API_KEY" \
  -d '{"capability": "social.search", "input": {"platform": "tiktok", "query": "meal prep", "limit": 30}}'
```

## Worth knowing

- **Read, not post.** The catalog reads TikTok. It does not upload or comment.
- **Comments are the research.** The questions under a video are the objections an ad has to answer. social.comments returns them with likes and replies.
- **From a creator to a contact.** A profile carries the bio link and the creator's own domain when there is one, which is what an outreach step needs.

## Questions

### Is there a TikTok MCP server?

RouterGrowth is an MCP server with TikTok search, posts, comments and profiles as tools, for any agent that speaks MCP.

### Can I scrape TikTok comments?

Yes. Pass the video URL to social.comments and you get each comment with its author, likes, replies and time.

### Can I find TikTok creators in a niche?

Search the niche with social.search, collect the authors of the posts that fit, and profile them with social.profile for followers and contact links.

### Does it cover TikTok ads?

Not today. The ad library capability reads the Meta Ad Library and the Google Ads Transparency Center.
