Pick Your Transport

TikHub MCP supports three transport modes. Pick the one that fits your client.

Stdio

Default for desktop MCP clients. Uses npx mcp-remote to bridge HTTP to stdio. Requires Node.js.

Best for
Claude Desktop, VS Code, Claude Code
Auth method
npx mcp-remote bridges HTTP → stdio
Jump to setup

SSE

Server-Sent Events transport. For legacy clients that need a streaming connection.

Best for
Legacy clients needing Server-Sent Events
Auth method
Bearer token in header
Jump to setup

Streamable HTTP

Direct HTTP — most efficient for clients with native support.

Best for
Cherry Studio, Cursor, Cline, curl, custom clients
Auth method
Bearer token in header
Jump to setup

Stdio

1. Stdio Transport

Stdio is the default for desktop MCP clients. Since the TikHub MCP server is remote, we use npx mcp-remote to bridge HTTP to stdio. Requires Node.js installed.

Replace YOUR_API_KEY with your TikHub key from tikhub.io.

Stdio Configurator

Pick a client and the platforms you need — we generate the exact config to paste in.

Choose your client

Config file location

Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

6    }
7  }
8}

Restart your client after saving. Add only the platforms you use.

SSE

2. SSE Transport

For clients that connect over Server-Sent Events. Same hosted server, with the /sse path.

Hosted endpoint

URLhttps://mcp.tikhub.io/{platform}/sse
HeaderAuthorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY

Self-hosted SSE

Run a single platform locally as an SSE server. Clients connect to http://localhost:8001/sse.

Terminal
1tikhub-mcp --platform tiktok --transport sse --port 8001

Streamable HTTP

3. Streamable HTTP Transport

For clients that natively support streamable HTTP (no stdio bridge). The most direct and efficient method.

URL patternhttps://mcp.tikhub.io/{platform}/mcp
HeaderAuthorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY
  1. 1Open Settings → MCP Servers
  2. 2Click Add Server and select Streamable HTTP
  3. 3Set name, URL, and the Authorization header
  4. 4Repeat for each platform you need
URLhttps://mcp.tikhub.io/{platform}/mcp
HeaderAuthorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY

LangChain

4. LangChain / LangGraph Integration

Use TikHub MCP tools in your LangChain agents via langchain-mcp-adapters.

Install

Terminal
1pip install langchain-mcp-adapters langgraph langchain-openai

Server Endpoints

Two unauthenticated meta-endpoints on the hosted server.

Health check

GET /health
1curl https://mcp.tikhub.io/health

List all platforms

GET /platforms
1curl https://mcp.tikhub.io/platforms

JSON-RPC 2.0 Primer

All HTTP / SSE requests follow the JSON-RPC 2.0 spec. The flow is: initialize → store the session id → tools/list → tools/call.

1. Initialize session (required first)

Returns an Mcp-Session-Id you must include on every subsequent call.

initialize
1curl -X POST https://mcp.tikhub.io/tiktok/mcp \
2  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
3  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
4  -H "Accept: application/json, text/event-stream" \
5  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"initialize","params":{"protocolVersion":"2024-11-05","capabilities":{},"clientInfo":{"name":"my-client","version":"1.0"}}}'

2. List tools

Returns the catalog of tools the platform exposes — names, descriptions, and JSON schemas.

tools/list
1curl -X POST https://mcp.tikhub.io/tiktok/mcp \
2  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
3  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
4  -H "Accept: application/json, text/event-stream" \
5  -H "Mcp-Session-Id: SESSION_ID_FROM_INITIALIZE" \
6  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":2,"method":"tools/list","params":{}}'

3. Call a tool

Pass the tool name and the arguments matching its schema.

tools/call
1curl -X POST https://mcp.tikhub.io/tiktok/mcp \
2  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
3  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
4  -H "Accept: application/json, text/event-stream" \
5  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":3,"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"tiktok_web_fetch_post_detail","arguments":{"itemId":"7350810998023949599"}}}'
