Real-time data access	AI agents can query live TikTok trends, not just training data
Structured output	Clean JSON format integrates seamlessly with LLM context windows
Automated workflows	Trigger scrapes based on AI agent decisions
Research augmentation	Enhance AI research with current social media intelligence

MCP Use Cases

• AI-Powered Trend Analysis - LLMs analyze TikTok trends in real-time
• Automated Influencer Discovery - AI agents identify and vet creators
• Content Strategy Bots - Automated content research and ideation
• Social Listening Agents - AI monitors brand mentions and sentiment
• Research Assistants - AI researchers access current TikTok data

Integration Example

# Example: Using TikTok Scraper with AI agent via Apify API
from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_API_TOKEN")

# Run TikTok Scraper
run = client.actor("apidojo/tiktok-scraper").call(run_input={
    "startUrls": ["https://www.tiktok.com/tag/AI"],
    "maxItems": 100
})

# Get results for LLM context
dataset = client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).list_items()

# Feed to AI agent for analysis
tiktok_context = json.dumps(dataset.items)
# Pass tiktok_context to your LLM/AI agent
