Connect

TikTok

TikTok connects through the TikTok Open API. You authorize Modiva on TikTok's consent screen to upload videos, read basic profile info and manage comments.

Before you start

A TikTok account in good standing.
Access to that account during the connect flow to approve permissions.

Step-by-step setup

1
Sign in to Modiva
Log in at modiva.ai and open the Dashboard. You need a Modiva account before you can connect any platform — creating one takes a minute and no credit card is required for the free tier.
The Modiva dashboard — your home for connections, posts and analytics.
2
Open Connections → New connection
In the left sidebar choose Connections, then click New connection. You'll see the full catalogue of platforms grouped by category (Social and Ads).
The connection picker. Use the search box or category filter to find your platform.
3
Select TikTok
Click the TikTok card. Modiva redirects you to TikTok's official sign-in and permission screen — your password is entered on TikTok, never on Modiva.
Click Connect on the TikTok card to start the secure OAuth flow.
4
Authorize Modiva on TikTok
Review the permissions Modiva is requesting and approve them. If you manage more than one account, page or profile, pick the one you want Modiva to manage.
TikTok's consent screen. Approve the requested scopes to continue.
5
You're connected
TikTok now sends you back to Modiva and the connection appears with a green Connected status. From here it's available to every MCP key and API call in your workspace.
A healthy connection shows a green dot and the connected account name.

Permissions Modiva requests

When you connect TikTok, Modiva asks only for the access it needs to run the tools you use. You can revoke it any time from TikTok or by disconnecting in Modiva.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

Where is my TikTok password stored?

Nowhere. You sign in on the provider's own site and Modiva only receives a scoped access token, which is encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM. Modiva never sees your password.

My connection says Expired or Error — what do I do?

Open Connections, find the platform and click Reconnect (or Refresh token). Providers periodically expire tokens or revoke them when you change your password; reconnecting re-runs the consent screen and restores access.

How do I disconnect?

Open Connections, click the TikTok row and choose Disconnect. Modiva deletes the stored token immediately. You can also revoke Modiva from inside TikTok's own app settings.
