TikTok Transcript Scraper — MCP server

Remote MCP server that transcribes public TikTok videos with an AI speech model. It listens to the audio rather than copying TikTok's auto-captions, so it works on videos that have no captions at all and across the 90+ languages TikTok creators actually post in.

Endpoint: https://mcp.apify.com?tools=deapi/tiktok-transcript-scraper Transport: streamable-http Actor page: https://apify.com/deapi/tiktok-transcript-scraper

What it returns

Per video: clean punctuated text, sentence- or word-level timings, speaker labels for duets and interviews, ready-to-use SRT and VTT subtitle files, per-segment confidence scores, and optional TikTok metadata (author, hashtags, views, likes). Private, deleted and region-locked videos come back as failed rows and are not charged.

Authentication

The endpoint requires authentication — an unauthenticated request is rejected with 401 Unauthorized before the MCP handshake, so there is no anonymous mode. Authenticate with either:

  • OAuth — your MCP client opens a browser to sign in to Apify, or
  • Bearer token — send Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_TOKEN>, using a token from Apify Console → Settings → API & Integrations.

Client configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tiktok-transcript": {
      "url": "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=deapi/tiktok-transcript-scraper",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN"
      }
    }
  }
}

Replace YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN with your own token. Never commit it.

Registry

This repository exists to back the server's entry in the Official MCP Registry under the namespace io.github.deapi-ai. The manifest is server.json.
