  public, allow duets and comments but not
  stitches, tomorrow at 7pm

Claude Code: Done! TikTok post scheduled for
  tomorrow at 7:00 PM (privacy_level:

TikTok limits and gotchas to know

TikTok requires several explicit choices on every post, and Claude Code fills them from your request or asks.

✓A video file is required; TikTok posts through Postiz are video posts.
✓privacy_level is required: PUBLIC_TO_EVERYONE, MUTUAL_FOLLOW_FRIENDS, FOLLOWER_OF_CREATOR, or SELF_ONLY.
✓duet, stitch, and comment are required booleans. If you do not mention them, Claude Code confirms the defaults before posting.
✓title is optional and limited to 90 characters.
✓content_posting_method must be DIRECT_POST (publish) or UPLOAD (send to drafts). Branded content uses brand_content_toggle and brand_organic_toggle; AI-made videos can be flagged with video_made_with_ai.

What is Claude Code?

Claude Code is Anthropic's agentic coding tool that lives in your terminal. It handles software engineering tasks — writing features, fixing bugs, and answering questions about your codebase — and it can run shell commands and MCP tools like Postiz.

Not the same as Claude Cowork (Anthropic's desktop agent for knowledge workers) or the Postiz connector for Claude.ai (chat in the browser or desktop app). Claude Code runs in your terminal and IDE and can read your repository while it writes TikTok posts.

💻

Terminal & IDE Native

Claude Code runs in your terminal, with extensions for VS Code and JetBrains. You type what you want in plain English and it handles Postiz for you.

🔧

Agentic Execution

Claude Code plans and works through multi-step tasks on its own — discovering channels, uploading media, and scheduling posts — and asks for permission before it acts.

⚡

Parallel Tasks

Run several Claude Code sessions side by side, or spawn subagents in one. Schedule posts to different platforms while it handles other coding work.

How Postiz Works with Claude Code

Claude Code discovers Postiz through the Postiz skill or the Postiz MCP server. It reads the SKILL.md (or the MCP tool list) to learn what it can do, then chains calls together for social media workflows.

✓Install the Postiz skill, or add the Postiz MCP server with claude mcp add
✓Claude Code discovers the Postiz tools over MCP, or reads SKILL.md when you use the skill
✓MCP route: sign in with OAuth, no API key. Skill route: set POSTIZ_API_KEY
✓Claude Code asks for permission before running commands
✓Works alongside your coding tasks in parallel

Install Postiz

# Option A: add the Postiz MCP server
claude mcp add --transport http postiz https://mcp.postiz.com/mcp-oauth-dynamic

# Option B: install the Postiz skill
npx skills add gitroomhq/postiz-agent
export POSTIZ_API_KEY=your_api_key

# Then just ask
claude "list my social media integrations"

TikTok Posting with Claude Code

Tell Claude Code what to post from your terminal or IDE — it discovers your integrations via Postiz and handles the entire publishing workflow.

Just Ask Claude Code

Terminal and IDE integration

Tell Claude Code what to post from your terminal or IDE — it discovers your integrations via Postiz and handles the entire publishing workflow.

Claude Code CLI

Claude Code: I'll handle that.
  Found your TikTok integration.

  Done! Your post is scheduled.
  Post ID: abc-123

💻

Parallel Tasks

Multiple tasks at once

Claude Code runs headless with claude -p, so several tasks can run in parallel. Schedule posts to different platforms while it works on other coding tasks.

Claude Code Parallel Tasks

# Run multiple posting tasks in parallel
$ claude -p "Schedule a post about our
  launch to X for tomorrow 9am" &

$ claude -p "Write a LinkedIn article
  about our new feature and schedule
  for tomorrow noon" &

$ claude -p "Fix the bug in auth.ts"

# All three tasks run simultaneously

Why Claude Code + Postiz for TikTok

Claude Code's autonomous execution makes Postiz a natural fit. The agent reads the SKILL.md to understand every available command, then autonomously chains them together for TikTok workflows.

✓Runs in your terminal or IDE — just type what you want
✓Permission-based execution — you stay in control
✓Parallel task support — post while coding
✓Branded content disclosures applied automatically when you mention a sponsor
✓Cross-post to TikTok + other platforms in a single session
✓Powered by Claude — Anthropic's most capable models

Also Works with Claude Cowork

Postiz works with any AI agent that can run commands or call MCP tools. That includes Claude Cowork, Anthropic's desktop agent, and the Claude.ai connector. See the agents overview for every supported agent.

Claude Cowork

by Anthropic

Claude Cowork reads the Postiz skill so it knows what it can do, then autonomously discovers your TikTok integration, uploads your video, applies privacy and interaction settings, and schedules the post.

Claude Cowork

> Post my demo video to TikTok as public
  with duets enabled, schedule for tomorrow

Claude Cowork: Done! Scheduled on TikTok for
  tomorrow at 9:00 AM.

TikTok and Claude Code: frequently asked questions

How do I post to TikTok from Claude Code?

Add the Postiz MCP server to Claude Code, sign in to Postiz with OAuth, and connect your TikTok account in Postiz. Then ask Claude Code to post a specific video file, stating the privacy level and any permissions. It uploads the video through Postiz, sets the required TikTok fields, and schedules the post.

Can Claude Code send a TikTok video to drafts instead of posting it?

Yes. Ask for a draft and Claude Code sets content_posting_method to UPLOAD, which sends the video to your TikTok drafts so you can add sounds or effects in the app before publishing. DIRECT_POST publishes at the scheduled time without a manual step.

Which TikTok privacy levels can Claude Code set?

Four levels are supported: PUBLIC_TO_EVERYONE, MUTUAL_FOLLOW_FRIENDS, FOLLOWER_OF_CREATOR, and SELF_ONLY. Describe the audience in plain words, such as followers only or just me, and Claude Code maps it to the right value. The privacy level is required on every TikTok post.

Can Claude Code disclose branded or AI-generated content on TikTok?

Yes. Ask Claude Code to mark the post as branded content and it sets brand_content_toggle, or brand_organic_toggle for your own brand. If the video was made with AI, ask it to set video_made_with_ai so TikTok labels it correctly. These flags are applied before the video is published.

Can Claude Code clip a long video for TikTok?

Yes, when connected over the custom Postiz MCP link. The MCP server includes a clipping tool that cuts highlights from a long recording, so Claude Code can clip a 30-second moment and post it to TikTok in one request. The Claude.ai directory connector lacks clipping and media generation.
