Upload and publish videos with Taisly MCP

Taisly MCP lets Claude, Claude Code, Codex, ChatGPT, and other AI agents publish short-form videos to the social accounts you connected in Taisly.

Connect your agent first using the Taisly MCP setup guide. If the connection already exists, reuse it. This page covers video inputs and publishing after connection.

What to give your agent

Use my existing Taisly connection to prepare this post:

Video URL: https://example.com/launch.mp4
Caption: Launch day. Short demo, big update.
Destination: my connected TikTok account

List my connected accounts and match the destination, then validate the post.
Show me the video, caption, account and schedule for confirmation before publishing.
After I confirm, create the post and check its status. Report acceptance separately from publication.

Public video URL requirements

Remote MCP can fetch only public video URLs.

Your videoUrl should:

• Use http:// or https://. HTTPS is recommended.
• Point directly to a downloadable video file.
• Be reachable without cookies, login, VPN, or an interactive confirmation page.
• Use a supported video type such as mp4, mov, webm, avi, mkv, flv, mpeg, or mpg.
• Be 500MB or smaller.

Your videoUrl should not:

• Point to localhost, a private network, or a local file path.
• Include a username or password in the URL.
• Require a browser session to download.
• Redirect through too many pages before reaching the video.

Short-form vertical video is recommended. Different social platforms may also apply their own limits for duration, format, caption length, privacy settings, and daily posting volume.

Local files

Remote MCP cannot read files on your computer or private chat attachments. Provide a direct public video URL, or explicitly choose the separate SDK, CLI and local MCP workflow when local file access is necessary. Installing that package is not part of remote MCP connection setup.

Troubleshooting

The agent says Taisly cannot read my local file

Remote MCP runs outside your computer and cannot access paths like ./video.mp4, /Users/me/video.mov, or C:\Videos\video.mp4.

Use local MCP or the Taisly CLI for local files, or upload the video somewhere that gives you a direct public URL.

My Google Drive, Dropbox, or cloud storage link fails

The URL must lead directly to the video file. Links that open a preview page, require login, or require cookies may fail.

Use a direct download URL when possible.

Taisly says the URL is not public

Remote MCP blocks local and private network addresses for safety. Use a public URL that Taisly can fetch from the internet.

The video is too large

The current upload limit is 500MB. Compress the video or use a shorter export.

I do not see the right social account

Ask the agent to list your connected Taisly platforms. If the account is missing, connect it in Taisly first, then ask the agent to check again.

The agent is ready to publish without asking me

Ask the agent to stop and show the final video URL, caption, destination account, and schedule first. Taisly MCP is designed for explicit confirmation before creating a live post.

Safe publishing checklist

Before the agent creates a post, confirm:

• The video URL or local file is correct.
• The destination account is correct.
• The caption is correct.
• The schedule is correct, or the post should go live now.
• The agent is using the connected Taisly account you expect.

After publishing, save the returned Taisly history ID and ask the agent to check post status when needed.
