What the TikTok MCP server does
On TikTok, follower counts say little: videos are shown to people who do not follow the creator, and a small account can get far more views than a big one. The OpenReach MCP server searches TikTok users and videos for your niche and ranks the creators who keep showing up for it, so your agent starts from who makes this kind of content, not who is famous.
For each creator the agent can read the profile and up to 30 recent videos: followers, average views, likes and comments, the engagement rate, how often they post and when they last did. The profile links to the same creator’s Instagram, YouTube or X when they have set them, which helps when a campaign runs on more than one platform.
Save the creators that fit to a project and track each one from first contact to a signed deal. Agreements about reusing their videos in ads, such as Spark Ads, are yours to negotiate; OpenReach keeps the notes.
