![Taisly Agent Kit: AI agent social media posting for TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, X, and Facebook](assets/taisly-agent-banner.jpg) # Taisly Agent Kit [![Taisly MCP server](https://glama.ai/mcp/servers/taisly/agent/badges/card.svg)](https://glama.ai/mcp/servers/taisly/agent) [![Taisly MCP score](https://glama.ai/mcp/servers/taisly/agent/badges/score.svg)](https://glama.ai/mcp/servers/taisly/agent) Free AI-first social media posting for short-form video. Taisly Agent Kit is a JSON-first SDK, CLI, Agent Skill, and MCP server that lets AI agents, developer tools, and automation workflows publish videos to TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, X, Facebook, and other connected social platforms through Taisly. Use it when your agent can create content, write captions, or prepare a campaign, but still needs a reliable video publishing API to put that content online. The package is free to install and designed to get an agent from idea to published video without building every platform integration yourself.

Taisly handles the connected accounts and posting execution. Your agent handles planning, caption writing, campaign logic, or workflow orchestration. ## Optional local workflows - Install the package for free. - Create or connect a Taisly account from your AI agent. - Let the agent authenticate, connect social accounts, validate videos, and publish through a JSON-first workflow. - Upgrade later when you need higher-volume publishing, larger account sets, or automatic repost workflows. No credit card is required to get started. Paid plans are for teams and workflows that need more scale. ## Agent Skill This package includes the **Taisly Social Media Posting Skill** in `SKILL.md`. Use it with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenClaw, and other agents when you want the agent to understand the safe posting workflow before it touches live social accounts. Recommended skill workflow: ```txt auth -> platforms -> validate -> confirm -> create -> status ``` The skill tells agents to discover connected accounts, validate the post, ask for explicit user confirmation, create the post, and save the returned `historyId` for status checks. ## Codex plugin This package includes a Codex plugin manifest in `.codex-plugin/plugin.json`. The plugin points Codex to the canonical `SKILL.md` file and the official remote MCP server: ```txt https://app.taisly.com/mcp ``` Use the plugin when you want Codex to discover both the posting workflow instructions and the Taisly MCP tools from one package. The root `SKILL.md` is the single source of truth for the agent workflow. ## Connect an AI agent through remote MCP Remote MCP is the default AI-agent connection. If Taisly tools are already available, call `taisly_auth_status` and `taisly_platforms_list` directly. OAuth provides access; do not install this package or ask for an API key for that connection. ```txt Help me connect Taisly to this agent using the setup guide. Check access and list my connected social accounts. Do not publish anything during setup. Full documentation: https://docs.taisly.com/docs/mcp ``` The remote server URL is `https://app.taisly.com/mcp`. Add it through your client's remote MCP and OAuth settings if needed. Human authorization or administrator approval may be required. On expiry, reconnect through OAuth rather than switching to the CLI. ## Optional local package installation Use the following package instructions for explicit SDK, CLI or local-file workflows. They are not remote MCP setup requirements. ```bash npm install -g @taisly/agent ``` Or run it without a global install: ```bash npx @taisly/agent help ``` Start the stdio MCP server: ```bash npx @taisly/agent mcp ``` For local development inside this repository: ```bash node packages/agent/src/cli.js help ``` ## Local package authentication For the local package, browser setup can store a local credential without manually copying an API key. Use any short agent slug, for example `claude-code`, `codex`, `cursor`, `windsurf`, `openclaw`, `hermes-agent`, `cline`, or `aider`. ```txt Help me set up Taisly Agent Kit. 1. Install the CLI: npm i -g @taisly/agent 2. Run taisly setup --agent and send me the login URL so I can finish authentication. 3. Wait for me to finish login in the browser. 4. Run taisly checkin --agent . 5. Tell me if Taisly is connected and ready. If not, tell me what failed. If you cannot install or run the Taisly CLI in this environment, stop and tell me to open Taisly Settings instead. ``` The setup command stores a local Taisly agent credential, so later CLI and MCP commands can run without manually copying an API key. Manual fallback: create an API key in [Taisly Settings](https://app.taisly.com/en/settings), then set: ```bash export TAISLY_API_KEY="taisly_..." ``` Advanced: by default, the browser setup stores the local credential in `~/.taisly/config.json`. Most users should not change this. Set `TAISLY_CONFIG_HOME=/path/to/dir` only for CI, tests, or isolated agent profiles that need a separate credential store. ## Quick start List the connected social accounts available to the API key: ```bash taisly auth:status taisly platforms:list ``` Connect a social account from an AI-agent flow: ```bash taisly platforms:connect:start --platform instagram # Open the returned connectUrl and finish authorization in the browser. taisly platforms:connect:check --platform instagram taisly platforms:list ``` Supported connect slugs: `instagram`, `tiktok`, `youtube`, `x`, `facebook`. Validate a local video before publishing: ```bash taisly posts:validate \ --video ./launch.mp4 \ --platforms platform_id_1,platform_id_2 \ --description "Launch day" ``` Publish now: ```bash taisly posts:create \ --video ./launch.mp4 \ --platforms platform_id_1,platform_id_2 \ --description "Launch day" ``` Schedule for later: ```bash taisly posts:create \ --video ./launch.mp4 \ --platforms platform_id_1,platform_id_2 \ --description "Launch day" \ --scheduled "2026-06-14T09:00:00+07:00" ``` Check the returned post: ```bash taisly posts:status --id ``` ## Posting settings Discover supported options and accepted values for each destination platform: ```bash taisly platforms:schema --platform TikTok taisly platforms:schema --platform YouTube ``` Group options by platform name in `settings`. For example: ```bash taisly posts:create \ --video ./launch.mp4 \ --platforms your_tiktok_platform_id,your_youtube_platform_id \ --description "Product walkthrough" \ --settings '{"TikTok":{"status":"PUBLIC_TO_EVERYONE"},"YouTube":{"title":"Product walkthrough","status":"unlisted"}}' ``` With `--json`, put the same object in the input file's `settings` property. SDK calls accept `settings` as an object. For remote or local MCP, discover options with `taisly_platform_schema` and pass `settings` to both `taisly_posts_validate` and `taisly_posts_create`. The HTTP API accepts a JSON-encoded `settings` form field. | Platform | Settings | Meaning | | --- | --- | --- | | TikTok | `status` | `PUBLIC_TO_EVERYONE`, `MUTUAL_FOLLOW_FRIENDS`, `FOLLOWER_OF_CREATOR`, or `SELF_ONLY`, subject to the account's available visibility options. | | TikTok | `comment_disabled`, `duet_disabled`, `stitch_disabled` | Boolean switches; `true` disables the interaction. | | TikTok | `brand_content_toggle` | Boolean; discloses a paid partnership promoting a third-party business. Cannot be combined with `SELF_ONLY`. | | TikTok | `brand_organic_toggle` | Boolean; discloses promotion of the creator's own business. Both brand switches may be enabled together. | | TikTok | `is_aigc` | Boolean; `true` enables the native AI-generated content label. Omit to keep existing behavior, or explicitly pass `false`. | | YouTube | `title` | Optional video title, up to 100 characters. Omit to use the post caption. | | YouTube | `status` | `public`, `private`, or `unlisted`. | For example, a public TikTok post promoting your own business and an unlisted YouTube post with its own title can share one request: ```json { "settings": { "TikTok": { "status": "PUBLIC_TO_EVERYONE", "brand_organic_toggle": true, "comment_disabled": false }, "YouTube": { "title": "Product walkthrough", "status": "unlisted" } } } ``` These settings work with `--settings`, `--json`, SDK calls, and both MCP servers, for immediate and scheduled posts. They apply to all selected accounts on the corresponding platform. Omitted fields keep the usual posting behavior. These options apply only to the requested post. TikTok account restrictions still apply. Every command prints JSON so agents can parse results without scraping terminal text. ## MCP server Taisly is published in the official MCP Registry as: ```txt io.github.taisly/agent ``` Display name: **Taisly Social Media Posting** Remote MCP endpoint: ```txt https://app.taisly.com/mcp ``` The remote MCP server uses streamable HTTP and OAuth. Remote MCP tools can publish only from public `videoUrl` values because they cannot read local files from your machine. Codex remote MCP setup: ```bash codex mcp add taisly --url https://app.taisly.com/mcp codex mcp login taisly ``` Claude Code remote MCP setup: ```bash claude mcp add --transport http taisly https://app.taisly.com/mcp ``` Then ask Claude Code to verify the connection. If OAuth is needed, Claude Code can guide the browser login from the session. You can also authenticate explicitly with `claude mcp login taisly` if you want to complete the OAuth flow from the shell before using tools. Taisly Agent Kit also includes a local stdio MCP server in the same package. Use local MCP when your agent needs to read local video files: ```json { "mcpServers": { "taisly": { "command": "npx", "args": ["@taisly/agent", "mcp"] } } } ``` If you already use a manual API key, you can still pass `TAISLY_API_KEY` in the MCP server `env` block. Codex local MCP setup: ```bash codex mcp add taisly -- npx @taisly/agent mcp ``` Claude Code local MCP setup: ```bash claude mcp add taisly -- npx @taisly/agent mcp ``` Then ask the agent: ```txt Use the local Taisly MCP server you just added and run the Taisly agent setup start tool with agentId: "". Send me the login URL and wait for me to finish in the browser. Then run the Taisly agent checkin tool with agentId: "". After checkin, run the Taisly auth status tool. Tell me if Taisly is connected and ready. If not, tell me what failed. ``` Available MCP tools: - `taisly_agent_setup_start` - `taisly_agent_checkin` - `taisly_auth_status` - `taisly_platforms_list` - `taisly_platform_schema` - `taisly_platform_connect_start` - `taisly_platform_connect_check` - `taisly_posts_validate` - `taisly_posts_create` - `taisly_posts_status` - `taisly_posts_list` - `taisly_reposts_list` - `taisly_reposts_create` `taisly_posts_create` requires `confirmed: true`. Set it only after the user explicitly approves the video, destination accounts, caption, and schedule. ## JSON workflow for agents Agents can write a payload file and pass it to the CLI: ```json { "video": "./launch.mp4", "platforms": ["platform_id_1", "platform_id_2"], "description": "Launch day. Short demo, big update.", "scheduled": "2026-06-14T09:00:00+07:00" } ``` Then run: ```bash taisly posts:validate --json ./campaign.json taisly posts:create --json ./campaign.json ``` The `video` path must point to a real local file available to the agent. Supported local preflight extensions are `.mp4`, `.mov`, `.avi`, `.mkv`, `.webm`, `.flv`, `.mpeg`, and `.mpg`. ## Commands ```bash taisly auth:status taisly setup --agent taisly checkin --agent taisly platforms:list taisly integrations:list taisly platforms:schema --platform TikTok taisly posts:validate --video ./launch.mp4 --platforms platform_id_1 --description "Launch day" taisly posts:create --video ./launch.mp4 --platforms platform_id_1 --description "Launch day" taisly posts:create --json ./campaign.json taisly posts:list --page 1 taisly posts:status --id taisly reposts:list taisly reposts:create --from --to taisly mcp ``` `integrations:*` commands are aliases for `platforms:*` commands. Taisly calls connected social accounts platforms in the app, while many public APIs call them integrations. ## SDK ```js import { Taisly } from "@taisly/agent"; const taisly = new Taisly({ apiKey: process.env.TAISLY_API_KEY, }); const platforms = await taisly.platforms.list(); const validation = await taisly.posts.validate({ video: "./launch.mp4", platforms: [platforms.data[0].id], description: "Launch day", }); const post = await taisly.posts.create({ video: "./launch.mp4", platforms: [platforms.data[0].id], description: "Launch day", scheduled: "2026-06-14T09:00:00+07:00", }); console.log(validation.success); console.log(post.historyId); ``` ## Use with AI agents Taisly Agent Kit is designed for agentic workflows where the user gives a high-level instruction and the agent executes a safe posting path. - Codex: let a coding agent publish demo videos, launch clips, or build updates after user confirmation. - Claude Code: add social posting to local content workflows and campaign scripts. - Cursor: ship video publishing from developer tools, content apps, and internal automation. - OpenClaw and other agents: connect planning, caption writing, and posting execution through a single CLI. Recommended agent path: ```txt auth:status -> platforms:list -> platforms:schema -> posts:validate -> user confirmation -> posts:create -> posts:status ``` ## Agent recipes The `examples/` folder includes copy-paste workflows for common coding agents: - `examples/codex/post-video.md` - `examples/claude-code/schedule-video.md` - `examples/cursor/post-build-demo-video.md` - `examples/post-video.sh` - `examples/schedule-video.sh` ## What this package is not - It is not a social media dashboard. - It is not a video editor. - It does not replace a Taisly account. - It requires connected social accounts and a Taisly agent credential or API key. - It does not bypass platform rules, account permissions, or media validation. ## Current limits - `posts:create` uses the existing multipart `/post` API. - `posts:status` reads recent history because a single-post status endpoint is not available yet. - `posts:validate` is local preflight; final validation still happens in Taisly. - Local MCP uses stdio transport. Remote MCP uses streamable HTTP at `https://app.taisly.com/mcp`. - Remote MCP requires public video URLs; use local MCP or the CLI for local video files. - Media upload reuse is planned later. ## Links - Taisly: - Agent Kit page: - API docs: - npm package: - GitHub repo: - MCP Registry: - SEO guide:
