Install Douyin MCP

Pick your client, copy the command, done.

Local setup required. This server has to be cloned and prepared on your machine before you register it in Claude Code.

Run this once to clone and prepare the server before adding it to Claude Code.

Run in terminal

cd douyin-mcp
npm install

After the local setup is done, run this command to point Claude Code at the built server.

Run in terminal

claude mcp add douyin-mcp -- node "<FULL_PATH_TO_DOUYIN_MCP>/dist/index.js"

Replace <FULL_PATH_TO_DOUYIN_MCP>/dist/index.js with the actual folder you prepared in step 1.
