Post to TikTok from Cursor

How it works

1. Cursor calls list_channels to find your TikTok channel.
2. It calls get_channel_rules to learn the TikTok limit, media needs and settings.
3. It writes the post and runs check_post, which returns any rule problems.
4. It picks a time with find_free_slot if you did not give one, shows you the post, and calls schedule_post after you say yes.

TikTok rules Cursor follows

• Every post needs 1 video or up to 35 photos. Captions can be up to 2,200 characters.
• Photo posts can have a title of up to 90 characters.
• Apps not yet audited by TikTok can only post as "Only me".
• Send to the TikTok inbox as a draft to add a sound in the app before you publish. No follow-up comments.

Rule summary from the TikTok connector: Needs 1 video, or up to 35 photos. Max 2200 characters. Unaudited apps can only post privately. Use "Send to TikTok inbox as a draft" to finish in the app. No follow-up comments.

TikTok settings the agent can use

These go in channels[].settings of schedule_post. Cursor learns them from get_channel_rules, so you can just describe what you want.

Example prompts for TikTok

• "Upload this video link and send it to my TikTok inbox as a draft with this caption."
• "Post these 6 photos to TikTok as a photo post with a title and a caption, visible to everyone."
• "Schedule this video for Saturday 12:00 with comments on and Duet and Stitch off."
• "How many followers and total likes does my TikTok account have now?"
• "Write a TikTok caption for the demo video in docs/demo.mp4 once it is uploaded to a public URL."

What the call looks like

You never have to write this yourself. It shows what Cursor sends to schedule_post for TikTok, with real setting keys:

{
  "type": "schedule",
  "date": "2026-10-01T09:30:00+05:30",
  "content": "Your TikTok text",
  "media": [
    "MEDIA_ID"
  ],
  "channels": [
    {
      "channelId": "YOUR_TIKTOK_CHANNEL_ID",
      "settings": {
        "who": "Everyone",
        "comments": true,
        "duet": true,
        "ai": false,
        "draft": true
      }
    }
  ]
}

Set up Cursor

Add Postozo to Cursor with a few lines of JSON. Then let Cursor's agent write launch posts from your code, docs and release notes, and schedule them. Connection: an API key header. Full steps are on the Cursor setup page. Your TikTok account must be connected in Postozo first: see the TikTok scheduler.

Also works with Claude and ChatGPT.

Tips for TikTok posts written with Cursor

• Tell Cursor who the post is for and what you want people to do. "Write a TikTok post for small shop owners that asks them to book a demo" works better than "write a post".
• Start the chat with a few lines about your tone and the words to use or avoid. Cursor writes the text itself, so it needs this to sound like you.
• Ask for 2 or 3 versions and pick 1. It is faster than asking for changes 5 times.
• Say "save as drafts" when you want to check the posts on the calendar before they are scheduled.
• Add 1 detail only you know, like a real number from your business or a customer question. It makes the post yours.
