Codex and TikTok
Prepare TikTok posts with Codex.
A person confirms before anything posts by default. A workspace owner can explicitly enable auto-publish for this agent in this workspace.
Check channel access first
TikTok has not audited heyeveryone yet, so posts go out as private (Only me), the TikTok account must be private at the time of posting, and at most 5 accounts can post through heyeveryone in any 24 hours. Sending to TikTok drafts isn't limited this way: you choose who can see the post when you post it in TikTok.
Connect your agent
OAuth:
codex mcp add heyeveryone --url https://heyeveryone.ai/mcp
codex mcp login heyeveryonePersonal access token:
export HEYEVERYONE_TOKEN=hey_pat_...
codex mcp add heyeveryone --url https://heyeveryone.ai/mcp \
--bearer-token-env-var HEYEVERYONE_TOKENor in ~/.codex/config.toml (or a project's .codex/config.toml):
[mcp_servers.heyeveryone]
url = "https://heyeveryone.ai/mcp"
bearer_token_env_var = "HEYEVERYONE_TOKEN"- In the TUI,
/mcplists connected servers. - IDE extension: gear menu > MCP servers > Add server > Streamable HTTP.
- The old
experimental_use_rmcp_clientflag is no longer needed for HTTP servers. - Codex speaks the
initializehandshake (MCP 2025-11-25) unless its 2026-07-28 feature flag is on. heyeveryone serves both.

Draft, review, then confirm
- Connect your channel in heyeveryone and grant the agent access to its workspace.
- Ask: “Draft a TikTok post from these notes. Check the channel rules and show me the content link. Do not schedule or publish.”
- Open the draft and inspect it. Ask the agent to request a review; a person creates the review link or reviews it personally.
- Review the current text and approve it if sign-off is required. Confirm the channels and time before publishing.
Access and credits
Agent access is included in every plan. MCP and API calls do not cost credits; actions that run heyeveryone’s own AI do, with cost shown first. Your agent provider may charge separately.
