Automate TikTok with OpenClaw
TikTok is the only video platform here that will take a landscape or a square cut, not just a vertical one.
$ mcporter config add antwork --url https://api.antwork.io/mcp --auth oauthOpenClaw connects to Antwork over MCP with a browser OAuth prompt. There is no API key to generate, copy, or paste into a URL.
Connect it
- 01Approve in the browserThe command opens an OAuth consent screen. Approve it and the connection is live — the token refreshes itself, so publishing does not silently break weeks later.
- 02Connect the social accountAsk OpenClaw to connect your account and it renders a panel with a button per platform. Authorize once and Antwork holds and refreshes that token for you.
- 03Add the skill (optional)clawhub install iker-gonzalez/antwork teaches the agent the right tool order — pull context, draft, then schedule or publish as a second explicit step.
What you can say once TikTok is connected
“Write a TikTok caption for this video in my voice, with a hook in the first line.”
“Schedule this TikTok for Friday evening and tell me why that slot.”
“Take the hook from my best TikTok and write three more like it.”
“How are my TikTok posts doing compared to last month?”
You see it before it goes out
Antwork does not answer with a wall of text. It renders real, clickable panels inside OpenClaw — the same interface you would get in a dashboard, in the conversation you are already in. No other social tool does this.
- 01A post card with the draft, editable in place, with the publish and schedule buttons on it
- 02A month calendar of everything scheduled across every connected account
- 03Your media library as a thumbnail grid you can attach from
- 04A connections panel with a Connect button per platform
- 05A table of recent posts you can click into
Shipped something small this week that fixed a big thing. Our token refresh ran daily but checked TikTok against a five minute expiry window, so it could only ever catch a token that happened to die inside those five minutes. It never did. Accounts just went quiet.
What is different about TikTok
Only hereIt is not vertical-only
TikTok accepts 9:16, 16:9 and 1:1. YouTube Shorts takes 9:16 and nothing else, so a cut that posts here will not always go straight to Shorts, and the agent checks before it tries.
One video, and that is the whole post
No images, no carousel, no text-only post. If you ask for a set, the agent tells you at the drafting step rather than building something the publisher will reject.
The largest frame of any platform here
Up to 4096 by 4096, the highest resolution ceiling Antwork will accept anywhere, with ten minutes of runtime at 4 GB. Nothing you export will be too detailed for it.
More caption than the format suggests
The caption runs to 2,200 characters, the same as Instagram. Almost nobody uses it, which is most of the reason a written hook does well here.
Questions
- Do I need an API key to connect OpenClaw?
- No. Antwork connects over OAuth — you approve a consent screen in the browser and you are done. There is no key to generate or paste into a URL, which is how most social MCP servers handle it.
- Do I need a paid account?
- No. Your first two connected accounts are free forever, with unlimited posts and workspaces, and there is no plan gate on MCP access.
- Will OpenClaw post without showing me first?
- Not unless you ask it to. Drafting and publishing are two separate steps: the agent writes, renders the post card, and only publishes when you confirm.
- Does the writing sound like AI?
- Antwork hands the agent that account's recent posts, along with how each performed, and the agent writes to match them. On TikTok that includes writing to the length the format rewards, up to 2,200 characters.
Never leave OpenClaw to post again.
One command, one consent screen, and TikTok is something you can just ask for.
