Manus: Preview — nothing booked yet. TikTok — clip_id: the top viral score from check_clips. Book it?ClipSpeed has not yet run an end-to-end check inside Manus. The server is standard MCP over HTTP.

- Authenticate with a ClipSpeed API key from Account → API & Integrations (or OAuth if Manus offers the sign-in).
- Ask Manus to list your channels.
- Connect TikTok in the ClipSpeed app, or ask Manus for a connect link: it is private, valid for ten minutes, and TikTok signs you in itself.
What can Manus do on TikTok?
On TikTok, Manus can post vertical videos with a caption and hashtags, spaced so the account never looks automated. Every booking runs through the same rules as the ClipSpeed app.
Video posts
TikTok takes video through ClipSpeed. Video: MP4, MOV or WebM up to 1 GB by public link, or a finished ClipSpeed clip by clip_id.
2,200 characters, checked at booking
TikTok's own arithmetic. Too long is refused with the real count, never trimmed at send time.
Exact time or refused
Name the minute and Manus books it, or you are told why not and offered the next open slot. A booked TikTok post is never moved behind your back.
Preview before anything posts
preview: true runs the whole booking and writes nothing. Manus shows the plan, with each slot and the day's remaining cap, and books only on your yes.
Clips cut in the same chat
Submit a video or stream link, get captioned 9:16 clips with a viral score, and post the best as native video on TikTok. No download, no re-upload.
Pacing and numbers
Video on TikTok is at least 2 hours apart, up to 4 a day under your plan. After a post goes out, Manus can read back views and engagement where TikTok provides them.
How does Manus post to TikTok through ClipSpeed?
You describe what you want in plain language and Manus makes the ClipSpeed calls. A typical conversation has three beats.
Find your TikTok channel
Ask Manus whether TikTok is connected. It calls list_channels and reads platform_settings, so it also knows what TikTok accepts and the limits before you write a word.
Compose within the rules
Describe the post. Manus drafts within TikTok's limits, and leaves URLs out because they are removed anyway; mention a clip or a file and it attaches it.
Schedule or publish
Name a time, or say now. The slot is booked exactly or refused with the next open one, and the reply carries the id you can cancel or edit by.
TikTok settings reference
These are the schedule_post fields that apply to TikTok. Mention any of them in plain language and Manus sets them; the server checks them at booking.
| Field | Type | Required | What it does on TikTok |
|---|---|---|---|
platforms | string[] | Yes | Include "tiktok". Up to ten platforms per call; each books its own slot. |
text | string | No | The caption, up to 2,200 characters including hashtags. URLs are removed before posting because TikTok suppresses captions with links. |
hashtags | string[] | No | Appended to the caption. They count toward the 2,200. |
clip_id or media_url | string | One of the two | A finished ClipSpeed clip, or a public https link to an MP4, MOV or WebM up to 1 GB. |
scheduled_at | ISO 8601 | No | Exact or refused with the next open slot. Omit to post as soon as possible. |
preview | boolean | No | Plan only; nothing is booked. |

Ask Manus for any of these and it applies the matching settings.

TikTok limits and gotchas to know
TikTok enforces a few rules that Manus and ClipSpeed respect automatically, but knowing them helps you phrase requests.
- Captions are capped at 2,200 characters with hashtags included. Anything longer is refused at booking so you can shorten it, never cut mid-sentence at send time.
- Links in TikTok captions are removed before posting. TikTok suppresses the reach of captions that carry URLs, so ClipSpeed removes them rather than letting the post underperform.
- TikTok takes video only. Image or text requests are refused with a plain message naming what TikTok accepts.
- Videos on one account are spaced at least two hours apart and capped per day by your plan. The booking names the next open slot when a time is taken.
- The agent asks before anything goes live. Posting to your public account is outward-facing, so confirm platforms, copy and time; use preview mode when you want to see the plan first.
| Rule | TikTok |
|---|---|
| Accepts | Video |
| Text limit | 2,200 characters |
| Title | No title field |
| Links in the caption | Removed before posting (a link in a TikTok caption is a known reach killer) |
| Pacing | Video on TikTok is at least 2 hours apart, up to 4 a day under your plan. |
| Formats | Video: MP4, MOV or WebM up to 1 GB by public link, or a finished ClipSpeed clip by clip_id. Aspect: 9:16 vertical |
| Status | Posting today |
What Postiz-style schedulers cannot do
Cut the clips first
Manus does not need finished video to start. Hand it a YouTube link, a podcast, a stream VOD or a local export. ClipSpeed finds the moments, cuts them to 9:16 with word-by-word captions, scores each one 0 to 100 for shareability, and returns them in the same conversation. Manus picks by score, writes the caption from the transcript, and books the clips on TikTok. Three tool calls, one approval, no download and no re-upload.
- Clips arrive with a title written from the hook, a transcript and a viral score, so the agent can choose and caption without watching the footage.
- Live streams can be clipped while they are still on air; the agent books the highlights for the next morning before the stream ends.
- Every clip is already hosted, so
schedule_posttakes its id directly. Nothing moves through your laptop.
submit_to_clipspeedPaste the link. ClipSpeed starts the job and returns a project id.check_clipsPoll with the project id. Back come the finished 9:16 clips with titles, transcripts, viral scores and preview links.schedule_postPass the clip id, the platforms, a caption and a time. Manus shows the plan with preview: true, you say yes, it books.generate_image or generate_videoDescribe the shot. ClipSpeed runs it on the model that fits (Seedance, Kling, Veo, Nano Banana Pro, GPT Image and others) and quotes the credits first.wait_for_generationReturns the hosted result link and a preview the agent can show you.schedule_post with media_urlThe result link goes straight into the booking on TikTok. The caption, the time and the file are approved together.The other half nobody else has
Generate the video, then post it
A product shot for Instagram, a 16:9 announcement graphic for X, a six-second opener before a clip: Manus can make a short video with ClipSpeed's image and video models and book the result in the same reply. There is no separate design tool, no export, no upload page. The generated file is hosted, so media_url is the only thing the booking needs.
- The price in credits is quoted before anything renders, within the per-generation and daily caps you set in Settings.
- Results are previewed in the conversation, so you approve the picture and the post at once.
- video posts as MP4, MOV or WebM up to 1 GB.
What is Manus?

TikTok and Manus: frequently asked questions
How do I post to TikTok from Manus?
In Manus, open connectors and add a custom MCP connector with https://api.clipspeed.ai/mcp. Authenticate with a ClipSpeed API key from Account → API & Integrations (or OAuth if Manus offers the sign-in). Connect TikTok in ClipSpeed (or ask Manus for a connect link; it is private and valid for ten minutes), then describe the post in plain language. Manus reads the TikTok rules, drafts within them, shows the plan and books on your yes.
What can Manus post to TikTok through ClipSpeed?
Post vertical videos with a caption and hashtags, spaced so the account never looks automated. TikTok takes video posts; a text-only request is refused with a message naming what it accepts. Text is limited to 2,200 characters.
Which TikTok settings can Manus control?
The fields in the settings reference above: text, hashtags, clip_id or media_url, scheduled_at, preview. Mention any of them in plain language ("unlisted", "tomorrow at 9", "preview first") and Manus sets the matching field before it books.
Do I need a TikTok API key or developer account?
No. You connect TikTok to ClipSpeed once through TikTok's own sign-in, and Manus talks to ClipSpeed with a ClipSpeed API key you can revoke at any time. No TikTok developer key, bearer token or password is pasted anywhere.
How many TikTok posts a day can Manus schedule?
Video on TikTok is at least 2 hours apart, up to 4 a day under your plan. When a time is taken, the booking is refused with the next open slot rather than moved. Ask for preview to see a day's plan and the remaining cap before anything is booked.
Can posts go out to TikTok while I am away?
Yes. Once booked, ClipSpeed publishes at the scheduled minute whether or not Manus is open. For unattended runs that decide what to post, use a headless agent such as Claude Code or Codex with the same account.
Is posting to TikTok from Manus different from Cue?
The booking is identical: the same rules, the same calendar, the same refusals. What differs is where you work. Manus: manus cloud, web and mobile apps. Cue: phone and web, manus's personal agent.
