LamaTok

lamatok-mcp

MCP server for LamaTok — TikTok data API. Available on npm: lamatok-mcp.

Generates MCP tools from the LamaTok OpenAPI spec at startup. Tools map 1:1 to REST endpoints (GET /v1/user/by/username → get_v1_user_by_username). By default you get a core set of ~23 tools, one per task, each with a description that tells the assistant when to use it; LAMATOK_TOOLS=all exposes every non-deprecated endpoint.

Quick start

1. Get an API key at lamatok.com.
2. Add the server to your AI assistant.
3. Ask your assistant something like:
   • "Get the TikTok profile for @nasa."
   • "List the last 10 videos by user_id 6707206320333226502."
   • "Find recent TikTok videos for the hashtag photography."

Claude Code

claude mcp add lamatok -e LAMATOK_KEY=your-api-key -- npx -y lamatok-mcp

Claude Desktop

Add to claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "lamatok": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "lamatok-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "LAMATOK_KEY": "your-api-key"
      }
    }
  }
}

Cursor / Windsurf

Same shape as Claude Desktop — put the block under mcpServers in the app's MCP config file.

Zed

Add to ~/.config/zed/settings.json:

{
  "context_servers": {
    "lamatok": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "lamatok-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "LAMATOK_KEY": "your-api-key"
      }
    }
  }
}

OpenAI Codex

Append to ~/.codex/config.toml:

[mcp_servers.lamatok]
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "lamatok-mcp"]

[mcp_servers.lamatok.env]
LAMATOK_KEY = "your-api-key"

Tools

Tools are generated at startup from the live LamaTok OpenAPI spec. The default core set keeps one endpoint per task and drops version duplicates:

Core tools carry hand-written descriptions (what the tool does, when to prefer a sibling, pagination, billing) and every tool is annotated read-only. The list lives in src/curated.ts.

Set LAMATOK_TOOLS=all to expose every non-deprecated endpoint instead — same tool names as before, so existing prompts keep working. Tool names mirror their endpoint (GET /v1/user/by/username → get_v1_user_by_username); call tools/list over MCP for the current list with parameter schemas. /sys, Legacy, and System tag groups are excluded in both modes.

Configuration

Legacy, System, and /sys tags are excluded by default. Deprecated operations are also skipped.

If LAMATOK_URL points to a host other than api.lamatok.com, the server prints a warning on startup — your key will be sent there, so only use it for a self-hosted or proxied LamaTok.

Requests are sent with User-Agent: lamatok-mcp/<version>.

How it works

AI Assistant ←stdio→ lamatok-mcp ──https──> api.lamatok.com
                          │
                          └─ fetches /openapi.json once on startup,
                             builds one MCP tool per GET endpoint
                             (core set by default)

Tool arguments map to the endpoint's query and path parameters. The response body is returned as-is (JSON text). Non-2xx responses are surfaced as tool errors with the HTTP status and body.

Development

git clone https://github.com/subzeroid/lamatok-mcp.git
cd lamatok-mcp
npm install
npm run build
LAMATOK_KEY=your-key node dist/index.js

Run in watch mode:

LAMATOK_KEY=your-key npm run dev

Run tests (unit + stdio smoke tests against a local mock server, no network/API key required):

npm test
