TikTok Automation via Rube MCP

Overview

This public intake copy packages

plugins/antigravity-awesome-skills-claude/skills/tiktok-automation

https://github.com/sickn33/antigravity-awesome-skills

Use it when the operator needs the upstream workflow, support files, and repository context to stay intact while the public validator and private enhancer continue their normal downstream flow.

This intake keeps the copied upstream files intact and uses

metadata.json

ORIGIN.md

TikTok Automation via Rube MCP Automate TikTok content creation and profile operations through Composio's TikTok toolkit via Rube MCP.

Imported source sections that did not map cleanly to the public headings are still preserved below or in the support files. Notable imported sections: Prerequisites, Common Patterns, Known Pitfalls, Limitations.

When to Use This Skill

Use this section as the trigger filter. It should make the activation boundary explicit before the operator loads files, runs commands, or opens a pull request.

• This skill is applicable to execute the workflow or actions described in the overview.
• Use when the request clearly matches the imported source intent: Automate TikTok tasks via Rube MCP (Composio): upload/publish videos, post photos, manage content, and view user profiles/stats. Always search tools first for current schemas.
• Use when the operator should preserve upstream workflow detail instead of rewriting the process from scratch.
• Use when provenance needs to stay visible in the answer, PR, or review packet.
• Use when copied upstream references, examples, or scripts materially improve the answer.
• Use when the workflow should remain reviewable in the public intake repo before the private enhancer takes over.

Imported: Core Workflows

1. Upload and Publish a Video

When to use: User wants to upload a video and publish it to TikTok

Tool sequence:

1. TIKTOK_UPLOAD_VIDEO

   or

   TIKTOK_UPLOAD_VIDEOS

   - Upload video file(s) [Required]

2. TIKTOK_FETCH_PUBLISH_STATUS

   - Check upload/processing status [Required]

3. TIKTOK_PUBLISH_VIDEO

   - Publish the uploaded video [Required]

Key parameters for upload:

• video

  : Video file object with

  s3key

  ,

  mimetype

  ,

  name

• title

  : Video title/caption

Key parameters for publish:

• publish_id

  : ID returned from upload step

• title

  : Video caption text

• privacy_level

  : 'PUBLIC_TO_EVERYONE', 'MUTUAL_FOLLOW_FRIENDS', 'FOLLOWER_OF_CREATOR', 'SELF_ONLY'

• disable_duet

  : Disable duet feature

• disable_stitch

  : Disable stitch feature

• disable_comment

  : Disable comments

Pitfalls:

• Video upload and publish are TWO separate steps; upload first, then publish
• After upload, poll FETCH_PUBLISH_STATUS until processing is complete before publishing
• Video must meet TikTok requirements: MP4/WebM format, max 10 minutes, max 4GB
• Caption/title has character limits; check current TikTok guidelines
• Privacy level strings are case-sensitive and must match exactly
• Processing may take 30-120 seconds depending on video size

2. Post a Photo

When to use: User wants to post a photo to TikTok

Tool sequence:

1. TIKTOK_POST_PHOTO

   - Upload and post a photo [Required]

2. TIKTOK_FETCH_PUBLISH_STATUS

   - Check processing status [Optional]

Key parameters:

• photo

  : Photo file object with

  s3key

  ,

  mimetype

  ,

  name

• title

  : Photo caption text

• privacy_level

  : Privacy setting for the post

Pitfalls:

• Photo posts are a newer TikTok feature; availability may vary by account type
• Supported formats: JPEG, PNG, WebP
• Image size and dimension limits apply; check current TikTok guidelines

3. List and Manage Videos

When to use: User wants to view their published videos

Tool sequence:

1. TIKTOK_LIST_VIDEOS

   - List user's published videos [Required]

Key parameters:

• max_count

  : Number of videos to return per page

• cursor

  : Pagination cursor for next page

Pitfalls:

• Only returns the authenticated user's own videos
• Response includes video metadata: id, title, create_time, share_url, duration, etc.
• Pagination uses cursor-based approach; check for

  has_more

  and

  cursor

  in response
• Recently published videos may not appear immediately in the list

4. View User Profile and Stats

When to use: User wants to check their TikTok profile info or account statistics

Tool sequence:

1. TIKTOK_GET_USER_PROFILE

   - Get full profile information [Required]

2. TIKTOK_GET_USER_STATS

   - Get account statistics [Optional]

3. TIKTOK_GET_USER_BASIC_INFO

   - Get basic user info [Alternative]

Key parameters: (no required parameters; returns data for authenticated user)

Pitfalls:

• Profile data is for the authenticated user only; cannot view other users' profiles
• Stats include follower count, following count, video count, likes received

• GET_USER_PROFILE

  returns more details than

  GET_USER_BASIC_INFO

• Stats may have slight delays; not real-time

5. Check Publish Status

When to use: User wants to check the status of a content upload or publish operation

Tool sequence:

1. TIKTOK_FETCH_PUBLISH_STATUS

   - Poll for status updates [Required]

Key parameters:

• publish_id

  : The publish ID from a previous upload/publish operation

Pitfalls:

• Status values include processing, success, and failure states
• Poll at reasonable intervals (5-10 seconds) to avoid rate limits
• Failed publishes include error details in the response
• Content moderation may cause delays or rejections after processing

Imported: Prerequisites

• Rube MCP must be connected (RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS available)
• Active TikTok connection via

  RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS

  with toolkit

  tiktok

• Always call

  RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS

  first to get current tool schemas

Examples

Example 1: Ask for the upstream workflow directly

Use @tiktok-automation to handle <task>. Start from the copied upstream workflow, load only the files that change the outcome, and keep provenance visible in the answer.

Explanation: This is the safest starting point when the operator needs the imported workflow, but not the entire repository.

Example 2: Ask for a provenance-grounded review

Review @tiktok-automation against metadata.json and ORIGIN.md, then explain which copied upstream files you would load first and why.

Explanation: Use this before review or troubleshooting when you need a precise, auditable explanation of origin and file selection.

Example 3: Narrow the copied support files before execution

Use @tiktok-automation for <task>. Load only the copied references, examples, or scripts that change the outcome, and name the files explicitly before proceeding.

Explanation: This keeps the skill aligned with progressive disclosure instead of loading the whole copied package by default.

Example 4: Build a reviewer packet

Review @tiktok-automation using the copied upstream files plus provenance, then summarize any gaps before merge.

Explanation: This is useful when the PR is waiting for human review and you want a repeatable audit packet.

Best Practices

Treat the generated public skill as a reviewable packaging layer around the upstream repository. The goal is to keep provenance explicit and load only the copied source material that materially improves execution.

• Keep the imported skill grounded in the upstream repository; do not invent steps that the source material cannot support.
• Prefer the smallest useful set of support files so the workflow stays auditable and fast to review.
• Keep provenance, source commit, and imported file paths visible in notes and PR descriptions.
• Point directly at the copied upstream files that justify the workflow instead of relying on generic review boilerplate.
• Treat generated examples as scaffolding; adapt them to the concrete task before execution.
• Route to a stronger native skill when architecture, debugging, design, or security concerns become dominant.

Troubleshooting

Problem: The operator skipped the imported context and answered too generically

Symptoms: The result ignores the upstream workflow in

plugins/antigravity-awesome-skills-claude/skills/tiktok-automation

metadata.json

ORIGIN.md

Problem: The imported workflow feels incomplete during review

Symptoms: Reviewers can see the generated

SKILL.md

Problem: The task drifted into a different specialization

Symptoms: The imported skill starts in the right place, but the work turns into debugging, architecture, design, security, or release orchestration that a native skill handles better. Solution: Use the related skills section to hand off deliberately. Keep the imported provenance visible so the next skill inherits the right context instead of starting blind.

Imported Reference Notes

Imported: Quick Reference

Imported: Common Patterns

Video Publish Flow

1. Upload video via TIKTOK_UPLOAD_VIDEO -> get publish_id
2. Poll TIKTOK_FETCH_PUBLISH_STATUS with publish_id until complete
3. If status is ready, call TIKTOK_PUBLISH_VIDEO with final settings
4. Optionally poll status again to confirm publication

Pagination

• Use

  cursor

  from previous response for next page
• Check

  has_more

  boolean to determine if more results exist

• max_count

  controls page size

Imported: Known Pitfalls

Content Requirements:

• Videos: MP4/WebM, max 4GB, max 10 minutes
• Photos: JPEG/PNG/WebP
• Captions: Character limits vary by region
• Content must comply with TikTok community guidelines

Authentication:

• OAuth tokens have scopes; ensure video.upload and video.publish are authorized
• Tokens expire; re-authenticate if operations fail with 401

Rate Limits:

• TikTok API has strict rate limits per application
• Implement exponential backoff on 429 responses
• Upload operations have daily limits

Response Parsing:

• Response data may be nested under

  data

  or

  data.data

• Parse defensively with fallback patterns
• Publish IDs are strings; use exactly as returned

Imported: Limitations

• Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
• Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
• Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
