Cursor

Asks for ideas and drafts

Social tools

MCP or HTTP, one API key

You approve

Review link, then Publish

Threads

Your feeds

TikTok, Reels, Threads, Bluesky

Your agent calls the Creative Tim Social tools, which prepare a draft. You approve it, and it is published to TikTok, Instagram Reels, Threads or Bluesky.

The one rule

An agent prepares and a person publishes. Cursor can create drafts, but it cannot publish to TikTok, and it cannot approve anything on your behalf. You open the review link, check the post and click Publish.

What Cursor can do

  • Check the rules

    Limits and approval rules for a network, before you make the video

    social_get_requirements
  • Generate ideas

    Video ideas with hook, script, video prompt, caption and hashtags

    social_generate_ideas
  • Import a video

    Host a video from a link in your own storage

    social_import_video
  • Upload a file

    Upload a video file directly

    social_get_upload_url
  • Create a draft

    Create a post draft. TikTok drafts come with a review link for you

    social_create_draft
  • List your posts

    Your posts and their status

    social_list_posts
  • Track status

    One post: processing, published (with link) or failed (with the reason)

    social_get_post_status

Set it up

  1. 1

    Create a Creative Tim API key

    Create one here. It starts with sk-ct-. Keep it in your client's secret settings, never in a prompt.

  2. 2

    Connect at least one social account

    Link TikTok, Instagram, Threads or Bluesky in the Social Studio.

    Threads
  3. 3

    Connect Cursor

    Pick one. JSON config is the recommended way for Cursor.

    Add the server to Cursor

    Recommended

    ~/.cursor/mcp.json (or .cursor/mcp.json in a project)

    JSON
    {
      "mcpServers": {
        "creative-tim": {
          "url": "https://www.creative-tim.com/ui/api/mcp",
          "headers": {
            "Authorization": "Bearer sk-ct-YOUR_KEY"
          }
        }
      }
    }

    Call the tools over HTTP

    Option 2
    Terminal
    export CREATIVE_TIM_API_KEY=sk-ct-YOUR_KEY
    
    # What does TikTok need from a video?
    curl -s -X POST https://www.creative-tim.com/ui/api/social/tools/social_get_requirements \
      -H "Authorization: Bearer $CREATIVE_TIM_API_KEY" \
      -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
      -d '{"provider":"tiktok"}'
    
    # Host a video you already have a link to
    curl -s -X POST https://www.creative-tim.com/ui/api/social/tools/social_import_video \
      -H "Authorization: Bearer $CREATIVE_TIM_API_KEY" \
      -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
      -d '{"url":"https://example.com/my-video.mp4"}'
    
    # Create the draft (returns a reviewUrl for you to open)
    curl -s -X POST https://www.creative-tim.com/ui/api/social/tools/social_create_draft \
      -H "Authorization: Bearer $CREATIVE_TIM_API_KEY" \
      -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
      -d '{"provider":"tiktok","videoUrl":"<hosted url from the step above>","caption":"My caption #hashtag"}'

Try it

Paste this into Cursor and fill in the blanks:

Prompt
Use the Creative Tim social tools. First check the requirements for TikTok. Then give me 5 video ideas for <my niche>. For the one I pick, import this video <video URL>, and create a TikTok draft with the caption. Give me the review link.
  1. Step 1

    Cursor tells you the draft is waiting and gives you a link.

  2. Step 2

    Open it, review the post, publish.

  3. Step 3

    Posts then show their status (processing, published with a link, or failed with TikTok's own reason) in the Social Studio.

Questions

Can Cursor publish to TikTok for me?

No. Cursor can create a draft with the video and caption and give you a review link. You open it, check the settings TikTok allows for your account, and click Publish. TikTok requires the creator to approve each post, so no agent can do it for you.

Which networks can Cursor prepare posts for?

TikTok, Instagram Reels, Threads and Bluesky. For networks other than TikTok, your own copilot or autopilot setting decides whether a draft waits for your approval or is scheduled directly.

What does it cost?

Posting and drafting are free. Generating ideas or video in Creative Tim uses credits from your plan.

Where does my API key go?

In the client's secret or header settings, never in a prompt. You can create and revoke keys on the API Keys page at any time.
