MCP Server

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. MCP Server 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 MCP Server can do

  • Check the rules

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

  • Import a video

    Host a video from a link in your own storage

    social_import_video

  • Upload a file

    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 MCP Server

    Pick one. Remote MCP is the recommended way for MCP Server.

    Connect any MCP client

    Recommended
    1. 1In your agent's MCP or tools settings, add a remote server with the URL above.
    2. 2Send your key as a Bearer token in the Authorization header.
    3. 3If the client only supports local (stdio) servers, bridge it with: npx -y mcp-remote https://www.creative-tim.com/ui/api/mcp --header "Authorization:Bearer sk-ct-YOUR_KEY"
    Settings
    URL:           https://www.creative-tim.com/ui/api/mcp
Transport:     Streamable HTTP (stateless, JSON responses)
Authorization: Bearer sk-ct-YOUR_KEY

    Add the server to MCP Server (desktop)

    Option 2

    The app's MCP config file (for Claude Desktop: claude_desktop_config.json)

    JSON
    {
  "mcpServers": {
    "creative-tim": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://www.creative-tim.com/ui/api/mcp",
        "--header",
        "Authorization:${AUTH_HEADER}"
      ],
      "env": {
        "AUTH_HEADER": "Bearer sk-ct-YOUR_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}
    • Save the file and restart the app. The Creative Tim tools appear in its tool list.
    • Desktop apps that only run local (stdio) MCP servers use the mcp-remote bridge to reach a remote server. It needs Node.js installed.

Try it

Paste this into MCP Server 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

    MCP Server 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 MCP Server publish to TikTok for me?

No. MCP Server 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 MCP Server 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.
