Best TikTok MCP Servers for Claude and ChatGPT (2026)

TL;DR

• The short answer: for finding TikTok creators you do not know yet, use Tokfluence (TikTok-first) or HypeAuditor (Instagram, YouTube and TikTok). For raw public data on accounts you already know, use ScrapeCreators. For TikTok ads, use TikTok's own MCP server.
• What only Tokfluence does: when the index is thin for your niche, the assistant can start a live crawl of TikTok from the chat, and the new creators become searchable a few hours later.
• The split that matters: many "TikTok MCP servers" can only fetch a profile or video you already have the link for. And Apify's server is not a TikTok server at all: it is a general gateway to thousands of scrapers, so we cover it separately.
• Price per 1,000 creator profiles: $9.95 on Tokfluence's Agency plan ($9.80 on the API-only Growth plan), about $500 in HypeAuditor AI credits, $46 to $230 in Influencers.club credits. Modash and Upfluence do not publish enough to work it out.
• The caveat: we build one of these. We compared every vendor from its own docs and pricing pages (14 October 2026), and each entry has a "pick something else if" line.

What is a TikTok MCP server?

A TikTok MCP server is a connector that lets an AI assistant like Claude or ChatGPT search and read TikTok data on its own, inside the chat. MCP (Model Context Protocol) is the open standard both assistants use to plug into outside tools, so you add the server once and then just ask in plain language.

What you can ask depends entirely on the data behind the server. That is the whole decision, and it splits the market into three groups:

1. Creator search. A database of creators you can filter by niche, follower count, engagement and country. You ask "find me 30 vegan recipe creators between 10k and 100k followers" and get a list.
2. Live scrapers. They fetch public TikTok pages on request: a profile, a video, its comments, a hashtag feed. Fresh data, but you mostly need to know who you are looking for.
3. Account tools. They act on your own TikTok account, either your ads or your posts. No creator data at all.

Most roundups mix the three together. They should not, because a scraper cannot do a creator-search job and a creator database will not run your ads.

The best TikTok MCP servers at a glance

Read from each vendor's own pages on 14 October 2026. Sources are linked under each entry.

How we worked out each price per 1,000 profiles. "A profile" is not the same thing everywhere, so the note in brackets says what you get for it:

• Tokfluence: $199 for 20,000 credits, one credit per profile, so $199 / 20,000 × 1,000 = $9.95 (profile with stats and contact email). Developers on the API-only plans pay $49 / 5,000 = $9.80 (Growth) or $99 / 10,000 = $9.90 (Pro).
• HypeAuditor: an analysed account is 100 AI credits at $0.005, so $0.50 × 1,000 = about $500 (full analysis with vetting metrics), on top of a Pro plan whose price is not published.
• Influencers.club: enrichment is 0.2 to 1 credit per creator, and the best published credit price is $0.23, so 200 × $0.23 = $46 to 1,000 × $0.23 = $230 (enriched profile). Smaller plans pay more per credit.
• Modash: a creator report is 1 credit, but Modash does not publish how many credits the $16,200 a year buys. Not published.
• Upfluence: no price published. Not published.
• ScrapeCreators: one profile request is 1 credit, so $497 / 500,000 × 1,000 = $0.99 or $47 / 25,000 × 1,000 = $1.88 (raw public profile, no niche or audience filters).
• TikTok for Business: works on ads, not creator profiles, so there is nothing to compare.

Which TikTok MCP server should you pick?

Pick by the job, not by the brand. Quick picks:

• You need a shortlist of TikTok creators for a campaign: Tokfluence.
• You need deep Instagram audience analysis: HypeAuditor, or Influencers.club if you need even wider network coverage.
• You already know the accounts and want their latest public data today: ScrapeCreators, or a TikTok scraper run through Apify's server (see below).
• You run TikTok ads, not creator campaigns: TikTok for Business.

1. Tokfluence

Best for building TikTok creator lists from a brief.

Tokfluence is the server we build, so read this one with that in mind. It connects your assistant to an index of more than 15 million TikTok creators, all with 1,000 followers or more. Your assistant searches it by keyword, follower range, engagement rate, country, hashtags and brand mentions, then saves the result as a list in your Tokfluence account.

The main difference: live crawling on demand, from the chat. Every other server in this list can only search the data it already holds. If Tokfluence's index is thin for your niche, your assistant can start a live crawl of TikTok for the hashtags those creators actually use, and the new creators become searchable in the same index a few hours later. It asks you first, because a crawl costs 250 credits (MCP docs).

It also tells the assistant when the index is thin. Every search returns a coverage verdict, so the assistant knows whether to keep paging, stop, or suggest a crawl.

Through the server, a search costs 1 credit and a live fetch of a creator's latest posts costs 25. Lists are free. (MCP docs, credit costs)

MCP access comes with the Agency plan at $199 a month. What you are mainly paying for is volume: 20,000 credits a month, one credit per creator profile, shared between the app, the API and the MCP server, with unlimited searching in the app. That is $9.95 per 1,000 profiles. You can start on the free plan with no card, and add one only at checkout. If you would rather not run the searches at all, the Discovery Service ($499 a month, 100,000 credits) has our team run them and hand-filter the lists.

Pick something else if: you need an all-in-one system with gifting and seeding logistics, payments and affiliate links, or deep Instagram audience analysis. Or if you need today's numbers on every profile: our docs say the median small creator (1,000 to 10,000 followers) was last analysed about a year ago (FAQ). Use the 25-credit live post fetch for your shortlist, or a live scraper like ScrapeCreators. For needs the plans do not cover, such as on-demand Instagram crawling or an integration with your outreach tools, we build custom plans: contact us.

2. HypeAuditor

Best for vetting creators across Instagram, YouTube and TikTok.

HypeAuditor's server finds and analyses creators on all three platforms, with its 35+ vetting metrics and fraud detection, plus access to your own HypeAuditor lists, campaigns and media plans. It works in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and most other MCP clients, and you sign in with your HypeAuditor account. (HypeAuditor MCP)

It is included with HypeAuditor Pro and above. Searches and analyses use AI credits at $0.005 each: a search is 10 credits ($0.05) and an analysed account is 100 credits ($0.50), so 1,000 analysed accounts come to about $500. HypeAuditor does not publish the Pro plan price. We covered what is known in our HypeAuditor alternatives page.

Pick something else if: you are not already a HypeAuditor Pro customer and only need TikTok. You would be buying a full platform to get the connector.

3. Influencers.club

Best for breadth across many platforms.

Influencers.club claims 340M+ creators across 47 platforms, from TikTok and Instagram to Twitch and LinkedIn. Its server offers discovery, enrichment by handle, lookalikes and audience overlap. It is the easiest to add to ChatGPT, with a one-click app, and also runs as a hosted URL in Claude or a local install. (Influencers.club MCP)

The server itself is free and open source. You pay for the credits it uses: discovery is 0.01 credits per creator and enrichment 0.2 to 1 credit. Credits cost "as low as $0.23" on the Pro plan, from $208 a month, which puts 1,000 enriched profiles at $46 to $230 at best (Influencers.club pricing).

Pick something else if: you want depth on TikTok specifically. A 47-platform database is a breadth play, and it is hard to tell from the outside how deep any single platform goes.

4. Modash

Best for teams already paying for the Modash API.

Modash publishes an open-source server in its official API cookbook on GitHub. It gives Claude, Cursor and Codex creator search, profile reports and collaboration history across Instagram, YouTube and TikTok. You install it as a Claude Code plugin or a Claude Desktop bundle; we found no hosted URL. (GitHub)

The server runs on the Modash API, and that is the catch: the Discovery API starts at $16,200 a year, with no monthly or pay-as-you-go plan (Modash API pricing). A creator report is 1 credit, but the number of credits that price includes is not published, so we cannot work out a cost per 1,000 profiles.

Pick something else if: you are not already on that contract. It is the highest published entry price on this list. See our Modash alternatives for the app-side comparison.

5. Upfluence

Best for existing Upfluence customers who want outreach from the chat.

Upfluence's server connects 14M+ creator profiles to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and Gemini, added as a remote URL with your Upfluence sign-in. It goes further than search: the assistant can shortlist creators, approve them and send outreach emails. (Upfluence MCP)

It is in beta, and "access is granted on request". No price is published, and Upfluence's own platform is quote-only.

Pick something else if: you are not an Upfluence customer, or you need to start this week.

6. ScrapeCreators

Best for developers who want raw TikTok endpoints.

ScrapeCreators runs its own hosted server that exposes its API: 22 TikTok endpoints, including user search, keyword search and hashtag search, plus other social platforms. It is a clean raw-data layer with no niche or audience filters on top. (ScrapeCreators MCP)

Pricing is credit packs that never expire: 100 free credits, then $47 for 25,000 and $497 for 500,000. Most requests cost 1 credit, so a profile lookup works out to $0.99 to $1.88 per 1,000 (ScrapeCreators).

Pick something else if: you are a marketer rather than a developer. You will be building the filtering yourself.

7. TikTok for Business

Best for running TikTok ads from your assistant.

TikTok's official server connects AI agents to the TikTok Ads platform: campaign management, reporting, audiences and creatives. It launched in May 2026 and is added as a remote URL. (TikTok for Business, Digiday)

Pick something else if: you are looking for creators. It has no creator search at all, which surprises people who expect the official server to do everything.

Others we looked at

• Bright Data has a hosted server with 5,000 free requests a month, then $1.50 per 1,000. Its README describes URL-based TikTok scrapers, so creator discovery is unclear (GitHub).
• HasData offers four read-only TikTok tools, 1,000 free credits a month and plans from $59 (GitHub).
• Composio connects your own TikTok account for posting and stats. No creator data (Composio).
• Community GitHub servers exist, mostly video search and transcripts built on scraping. Several are inactive. Fine for a weekend project, risky for client work.

Not a TikTok MCP server, but works through one

Apify's MCP server is a general gateway, not a TikTok server. Most roundups list it as one, so here is the difference in plain terms.

A TikTok MCP server is built around TikTok data: its tools are things like "search creators" or "get a profile". Apify's server has no TikTok tools of its own. It lets your assistant find and run any "actor" (a small scraping program) from the Apify Store, which holds thousands of them, for every kind of website. You pick the TikTok actors you want, and the server passes your assistant's requests to them. The actor decides what data you get and what it costs; Apify's server is just the way in. (Apify MCP docs)

That is useful, and worth knowing about. The most used TikTok actor that works this way is Clockworks' TikTok Scraper, with about 29,000 monthly users. It scrapes TikTok live by hashtag, profile, video URL or keyword, from $1.70 per 1,000 results (Apify's own "from" price; the rate varies by plan). It returns what TikTok's own search returns, so ranking creators by audience size and engagement is left to your assistant. (TikTok Scraper)

Apify's free tier includes $5 of usage a month, then paid plans start at $19 a month (Apify pricing). Pick this route if you already use Apify, or want to pay by the result without a subscription. Pick a dedicated server if you want tools designed around the job, like our coverage verdict and crawls.

What happens when you hand an MCP server a real brief?

Your assistant searches several times, reads the results and throws a lot away. We ran a small brief through our own server to show what that looks like: vegan and plant-based recipe creators with 10,000 to 100,000 followers. Three searches, 3 credits.

Tokfluence index, searched through the MCP server on 14 October 2026.

Two lessons, and they apply to every server above:

• The keyword decides the list. "Plant based meal prep" matched three times as many accounts as "vegan recipes", and a third of its first page was snack brands, meal-prep sellers and one rock band. Bigger match counts are not better.
• Ask for several searches, not one. Different words find different people. A good assistant runs a few, merges them and ranks the pool itself. Our server's instructions tell it to work this way; with a raw scraper, you have to say so in the prompt.

What is a Tokfluence credit, and what does it buy?

One credit is one creator profile. In the app, searching is unlimited on the Agency plan; you spend a credit when you unlock or export a creator, contact email included. Through the API and the MCP server, each call draws from the same credits (pricing, credit costs).

The Agency plan includes 20,000 credits a month, shared between the app, the API and the MCP server. That volume is the main thing you are buying.

In practice a shortlist costs very little. The brief above, three searches, used 3 credits.

How do you install the Tokfluence MCP server?

Add one URL as a custom connector, then sign in with your Tokfluence account. There is nothing to download. The URL is the same everywhere:

https://developers.tokfluence.com/mcp

In Claude (web, Desktop and Cowork)

1. Open Customize → Connectors, click +, then Add custom connector.
2. Paste the URL above and click Add. Leave Advanced settings empty.
3. Approve the Tokfluence screen that lists what Claude can do. Crawling is a separate tick box you can leave off.

On a Claude Team or Enterprise plan, an Owner adds it once under Organization settings → Connectors, and each person clicks Connect to use their own account. (Tokfluence MCP docs)

In Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http tokfluence https://developers.tokfluence.com/mcp

Then run /mcp and pick Tokfluence to sign in. Claude Code is the better choice for lists of hundreds of creators, because it handles long runs of searches without the chat getting unwieldy.

In ChatGPT

ChatGPT adds remote servers as custom MCP connectors. Our docs list ChatGPT as a supported client but do not yet give ChatGPT-specific steps, so this is the general route from OpenAI's guide:

1. In ChatGPT on the web, open Plugins, click +, then Add custom MCP server.
2. Name it Tokfluence and paste the URL above.
3. Choose OAuth for authentication, accept the warning, and click Create as a plugin.
4. Sign in with your Tokfluence account when asked.

Whether you see this option depends on your ChatGPT plan and, on a company plan, your workspace settings. OpenAI has moved this menu more than once, so check their guide if it looks different.

Every MCP call shows up in the same credit ledger as the API, under the tool that ran.

Once it is connected, give it a brief the way you would brief a person: who the creators are, how many you want, and what would make one a wrong fit. If you would rather search by hand, the same index is in our TikTok influencer search, and developers can use it directly through the TikTok API.

Is an MCP server better than an influencer platform?

No, it is a different way in to the same data. The server is only as good as the database behind it, and the assistant is only as good as your brief. What MCP removes is the clicking: filters, paging and copying names into a spreadsheet.

If your team works in Claude or ChatGPT all day, a server saves real time. If it does not, a normal search interface is still faster to learn. Our roundup of the best influencer marketing platforms covers the app side of the same choice.
