Requirements

• Hyper MCP installed and connected. https://app.hyperfx.ai/mcp
• TikTok integration connected at https://app.hyperfx.ai/integrations — this skill uses the TikTok Login Kit / Content Posting API (NOT the TikTok Marketing API).

If tiktok_open_post_form is not in the tool list, stop and tell the user to enable Hyper MCP and connect TikTok.

Tool surface

Tool	Purpose
tiktok_open_post_form	The only entrypoint when a user wants to post. Opens the compliance form.
tiktok_post_video_from_url, tiktok_post_video_from_file, tiktok_post_photos	Final posting tools — call ONLY after the user submits the form.
tiktok_get_user_info	Authenticated user profile (does not require the form).
tiktok_query_creator_info	Check posting capabilities and limits.
tiktok_list_videos, tiktok_query_videos	Browse the user's published videos.
tiktok_get_post_status	Check the status of a previously submitted post.
tiktok_upload_video_from_url, tiktok_upload_video_from_file, tiktok_upload_photos	Send to inbox as draft (user posts manually in the TikTok app — bypasses the form intentionally).

Critical Rules

CRITICAL: ALWAYS use tiktok_open_post_form when a user wants to post to TikTok. NEVER call tiktok_post_video_from_url, tiktok_post_photos, or tiktok_post_video_from_file directly in response to a user request. The posting form is required for TikTok compliance.

CRITICAL: Do NOT ask the user about privacy, policies, captions, or branded content settings before opening the form. The form handles all of this interactively.

CRITICAL: Call tiktok_open_post_form immediately when the user wants to post. Do not gather information first.

When the User Wants to Post

If the user says ANY of:

• "post this video/photo to TikTok"
• "share this on TikTok"
• "upload to TikTok"
• "put this on my TikTok"

Immediately call tiktok_open_post_form:

tiktok_open_post_form(
    media_type="video",            # or "photo"
    media_url="<url>",             # single video / single photo URL
    media_urls=["<url>", ...]      # for photo carousels (max 35)
)

DO NOT:

• Ask about privacy settings before opening the form.
• Ask about caption / title before opening the form.
• Ask about policy acknowledgments before opening the form.
• Request any metadata — just open the form.
• Call tiktok_post_video_from_url or tiktok_post_photos directly.

What the Form Handles

The interactive posting form is TikTok Content Sharing Guidelines compliant and handles:

• Creator identity display (username, avatar).
• Media preview (video player or photo grid).
• Caption / title entry with character limits (#hashtags and @mentions).
• Privacy level selection (filtered to account-eligible options).
• Interaction settings (comments, duet, stitch).
• AI-generated content labeling.
• Commercial content disclosure (branded / promotional).
• Music Usage Confirmation acknowledgment.
• Branded Content Policy acknowledgment.
• Posting restrictions / ban detection.
• Video duration validation.

Pre-fill Parameters

When calling tiktok_open_post_form, provide what you know:

Parameter	When to provide
media_type	Always ("video" or "photo").
media_url	Single video or single photo.
media_urls	Photo carousel (list of URLs, max 35).
video_duration_sec	If known — enables duration validation.
title	If the user mentioned a caption.
is_aigc	If you generated the media (Sora, Veo, image gen, etc.).

After Form Submission

When the user fills out and submits the form, you receive a message containing all their chosen settings. At that point, call the appropriate posting tool with the exact parameters from their submission:

• Video from URL: tiktok_post_video_from_url
• Video from file: tiktok_post_video_from_file
• Photos: tiktok_post_photos

The posting tool will automatically poll status and return a completion message.

Media Format Requirements

Videos:

• Format: MP4 + H.264 recommended.
• Resolution: 720p minimum, 4K maximum.
• Aspect ratio: 9:16, 16:9, or 1:1.
• Duration: 3s minimum, max varies by account (checked by the form).

Photos:

• Format: WebP or JPEG only (PNG is NOT supported).
• Resolution: 1080p maximum.
• Size: 20MB per photo maximum.
• Carousel: up to 35 photos.

Domain verification:

• All media URLs must be from verified domains in the TikTok Developer Portal.
• Unverified domains will fail with an authentication error.

Example Flow

1. User: "Post this video to TikTok".
2. You: call tiktok_open_post_form(media_type="video", media_url="<url>").
3. The posting form opens in the artifact panel.
4. User configures privacy, caption, policies, etc.
5. User clicks "Post to TikTok".
6. You receive their settings as a message.
7. You: call tiktok_post_video_from_url(...) with the submitted parameters.
8. Tool auto-polls and returns status (complete, failed, or timeout).

Inbox / Draft Path (no form required)

These tools intentionally bypass the form — they send content to the user's TikTok app for manual posting:

• tiktok_upload_video_from_url — send video to inbox as draft.
• tiktok_upload_video_from_file — upload file to inbox as draft.
• tiktok_upload_photos — send photos to inbox as draft.

Use these only when the user explicitly asks to "send to my TikTok drafts" or "I want to post manually in the app". Otherwise, default to the form path.
