What Wahlu does on TikTok
Claude Code works through Wahlu's tools, so it can set the TikTok options Wahlu supports.
TikTok settings on a draft
- Privacy
- Everyone, followers, friends or only you. The agent asks TikTok which options your account allows right now before setting one.
- Interactions
- Allow or turn off comments, Duets and Stitches.
- Music
- Let TikTok add music to a photo post automatically.
- AI-generated content
- Label the post as AI-generated.
- Commercial content
- Disclose a post that promotes your own brand or is branded content for another.
TikTok posts need your agreement to TikTok's publishing terms before they can go out, and Wahlu never picks a privacy setting for you.
The tool calls, in order
- 01
list_targetsFinds the brand's connected TikTok account and checks it's ready. - 02

TikTok limits to know
Wahlu checks these before a post is scheduled, so the agent finds out early.
Video captions up to 2,200 characters.
TikTok: Direct Post referencePhoto posts take a description of up to 4,000 characters and a title of up to 90.
TikTok: photo post referenceVideos can be MP4, MOV or WebM, up to 4 GB, 360 to 4,096 pixels on each side, at 23 to 60 frames per second.

TikTok: Direct Post reference
Getting video to TikTok
The agent can read a file in your project and upload it with upload_media. Files over 8 MB, including most video, go to a short-lived upload link the agent sends the file to. Public links and your media library work too.
Connect Claude Code to Wahlu
Set this up once and Claude Code can work on every network you've connected, not just TikTok.
- 1
Run
claude mcp add(the command shown here) in your project. - 2
In Claude Code, run
/mcp, select wahlu and sign in to Wahlu in the browser that opens.
Checked against the Claude Code docs on 24 September 2026. Menus can change; if a step doesn't match what you see, follow the vendor's current instructions.
claude mcp add --transport http wahlu https://mcp.wahlu.com/mcpThis adds Wahlu to the current project. To use it in every project, add --scope user before wahlu. If Wahlu's tools don't appear, start a new Claude Code session.
You stay in control.
Every Wahlu plan includes agent access, through MCP and the API. You choose the workspace, brands and permissions each connection gets, and can disconnect it at any time.
Held until you approve
Agents create schedules at pending_review unless you've told them to publish. A held schedule can't publish until you approve it in the Wahlu calendar.
Publishing is its own permission
Publish to social accounts is separate from Manage your schedule. Leave it unticked and nothing your agent schedules can go out on its own.
Checked before it's scheduled
preflight_draft reports anything that would stop a post, such as media the network won't accept or a caption that's too long, without changing anything.
Some things stay in the app
Queues, general edits to existing drafts, approvals and connecting social accounts happen in the Wahlu app, not through your agent.
