Also Works with Claude Code

Postiz works with any AI agent that can run commands or call MCP tools — you ask, the agent does the work. That includes Anthropic's Claude Code.

Claude Code

by Anthropic

Claude 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 Code

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

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

TikTok + Other Platforms

Schedule the same video to TikTok and other platforms in a single request. Each platform gets its own settings.

Example

> Post "Excited to announce our new feature!" to
  TikTok and LinkedIn tomorrow at 9am, then schedule
  a daily tip on TikTok every weekday at 10am

Perplexity Computer: Done! Scheduled:
  - TikTok + LinkedIn: tomorrow 9:00 AM
  - Daily tips on TikTok: Mon-Fri 10:00 AM

What can you ask Perplexity Computer to do on TikTok?

You can ask Perplexity Computer for anything Postiz can do on TikTok: draft, schedule, publish, attach media, and set TikTok-specific options. These are prompts people actually type.

You say

> Send teaser.mp4 to my TikTok drafts so I can add
  music and effects in the app before posting

Computer sets content_posting_method to UPLOAD, so the video lands in your TikTok inbox as a draft instead of publishing.

You say

> Post the sponsored clip to TikTok and mark it as
  branded content for a partner

Computer sets brand_content_toggle to true so TikTok shows the paid partnership label required for sponsored posts.

You say

> Publish the AI-generated demo video, followers only,
  and disclose that it was made with AI

Computer sets privacy_level to FOLLOWER_OF_CREATOR and video_made_with_ai to true before scheduling the direct post.

TikTok rules Perplexity Computer has to respect

TikTok enforces a few rules on every post. Postiz exposes them as settings, and Perplexity Computer applies them, but knowing them helps you phrase the request.

✓A video is required; TikTok posts cannot be text or image only through this integration.
✓privacy_level is required: PUBLIC_TO_EVERYONE, MUTUAL_FOLLOW_FRIENDS, FOLLOWER_OF_CREATOR, or SELF_ONLY.
✓The title is capped at 90 characters, so hashtags count against the limit.
✓duet, stitch, comment, autoAddMusic, brand_content_toggle, and brand_organic_toggle must all be set; say your preference or Computer will ask.
✓content_posting_method DIRECT_POST publishes; UPLOAD sends the video to your TikTok inbox as a draft.

Perplexity Computer and TikTok: frequently asked questions

How do I post to TikTok from Perplexity Computer?

Add Postiz as a custom remote connector in Perplexity settings with the MCP URL https://mcp.postiz.com/mcp-oauth-dynamic and OAuth, and connect your TikTok account in Postiz. Then hand Computer the video and describe the post. It uploads the file through Postiz, fills TikTok's required settings, and schedules the publish.

Can Perplexity Computer save a TikTok as a draft instead of posting it?

Yes. Ask for a draft or say send it to my TikTok inbox and Computer sets content_posting_method to UPLOAD. The video appears in your TikTok app inbox, where you add sounds, effects, and captions before publishing. DIRECT_POST is the option that publishes at the scheduled time.

Which TikTok settings does Computer have to fill in for every video?

TikTok requires privacy_level, duet, stitch, comment, autoAddMusic, brand_content_toggle, brand_organic_toggle, and content_posting_method on each post. Say your preferences in plain language, for example public, duets on, no stitches, not sponsored, and Computer maps them; anything you leave out, it should ask about.

How do I disclose branded or AI-generated content when Computer posts to TikTok?

Tell Computer the video is sponsored or made with AI. It sets brand_content_toggle for paid partnerships, brand_organic_toggle for your own brand promotion, and video_made_with_ai for AI-generated footage. TikTok then shows the matching labels, which keeps the post compliant with its disclosure rules.

Do I need a TikTok developer key or Postiz API key for this?

No TikTok developer key: you connect TikTok inside Postiz with TikTok's own login. With the Postiz MCP connector, Perplexity authenticates over OAuth, so no Postiz API key is needed either. The CLI skill path is the exception and uses POSTIZ_API_KEY inside Computer's sandbox.
