Create TikTok accounts with Hermes Agent

Q: How long does delivery take?

Typically 24–72 hours from `publish_bundle` to `account.finalized`, depending on the country's manager pool and whether warming was ordered. Poll `get_bundle` or subscribe to `account.finalized`.

Q: Can I pick the exact username?

You request it in `configure_bundle_account`. If it is unavailable the manager flags it (`account.pending_corrections`) and you send a new one with the same tool; the agent can propose variants automatically.

Q: Is there a limit on how many accounts I can create?

`create_bundles_bulk` accepts up to 100 accounts per call and you can call it repeatedly; the practical limit is manager capacity in the chosen country, which the API reports through delivery times rather than a hard cap.

To create TikTok accounts from Hermes Agent, connect the TokPortal MCP server and ask for a bundle: create_bundle opens a work order for a new account in a given country, configure_bundle_account sets the handle and profile, publish_bundle hands it to a human account manager in that country, and list_accounts returns the delivered account a few days later. There is no official TikTok endpoint that creates accounts at all — the Login Kit / Content Posting API only let a user who already owns an account authorize your app — so this job is only possible with human-operated infrastructure like TokPortal.

Connect TokPortal to Hermes Agent

Hermes Agent is an autonomous agent: Nous Research's open-source agent runtime; MCP servers are declared under mcp_servers in ~/.hermes/config.yaml.

~/.hermes/config.yaml:

mcp_servers:
  tokportal:
    url: "https://app.tokportal.com/api/ext/mcp"
    headers:
      Authorization: "Bearer sk_..."

Or the local stdio form:

mcp_servers:
  tokportal:
    command: "npx"
    args: ["-y", "tokportal-mcp"]
    env:
      TOKPORTAL_API_KEY: "sk_..."

Reload with /reload-mcp. Use tools.include to expose only the read-only tokportal_get_* / tokportal_list_* tools to an unattended agent.

Snippet status: verified against Hermes Agent's documentation (source).

Once connected, sanity-check the setup with a read-only call — "What is my TokPortal credit balance?" should trigger tokportal_get_credit_balance. Every tool runs as your TokPortal account and spends your credits; read-only tools (get_*, list_*, export_*) never do.

How it works

A TokPortal bundle is the unit of work. For a new account you create it with bundle_type: "account_only" (just the account) or "account_and_videos" (account plus a schedule of videos_quantity posts). The country field decides which pool of managers gets the order: a US bundle is created and warmed by a manager physically in the United States, on a US SIM and residential connection, so the account is native to that region from day one. Call list_countries first — it returns the countries currently open for new-account creation and, separately, the ones open for videos_only orders on existing accounts.

Once the bundle exists you configure the account: username (1–24 chars, letters/digits/_/., no trailing dot), visible_name (≤30), biography (≤80 on TikTok), an optional profile_picture_url and link_in_bio. Then publish_bundle. Nothing is charged before publishing; the account setup price (32 credits at the standard rate) is debited when the bundle goes live. The manager creates the account, warms it and finalizes it; the account then appears in list_accounts with status, country, profile_url and a ban_appeal block that stays null while the account is healthy. Credentials are never returned by ordinary tools — the account is managed, which is exactly what keeps it alive; reveal_account_credentials exists but detaches the account from management and needs a two-step confirmation.

Add wants_advanced_warming: true and 3–30 advanced_warming_terms (multiples of 3) if you want the manager to warm the account on niche searches with a recorded, verified session per term before you post — see Warm accounts.

Run it from Hermes Agent

Hermes Agent runs autonomously, so the prompt below is written as a goal with an explicit stop before the first write tool. Give it the goal, let it read (get_*, list_*), then confirm before it continues to publish_bundle.

Tool sequence

tokportal_list_countries — Confirm the target country is open for new-account creation (returns data[] for new accounts and videos_only_countries[]).
tokportal_get_credit_costs — Read the live account-setup price and any contract allowance before quoting the user.
tokportal_create_bundle — bundle_type: account_only (or account_and_videos with videos_quantity), platform: tiktok, country: US; optional external_ref for de-duplication.
tokportal_configure_bundle_account — Set username, visible_name, biography, profile_picture_url, link_in_bio (PUT, can be called again before publishing).
tokportal_get_bundle_publish_readiness — Returns what is still missing (account fields, credits) so the agent fixes it instead of hitting a 400.
tokportal_publish_bundle — Sends the order to a manager in the chosen country and debits the credits.
tokportal_get_bundle — Poll account_status (configured → published → in_review → finalized) or subscribe to account.finalized with create_webhook_endpoint.
tokportal_list_accounts — Filter platform=tiktok&country=US to retrieve the delivered account and its profile_url.

Prompt to paste

Use the TokPortal MCP tools. Call list_countries and get_credit_costs first.
Then create a TikTok bundle in the US (bundle_type account_only, title "US launch #1"),
configure the account as @acme_kitchen / "Acme Kitchen" / bio "Recipes in 30s",
check publish readiness, show me the total credits and wait for my "GO" before publish_bundle.

Send the prompt to Hermes; MCP tools are namespaced by server, so look for tokportal_* in the tool list after /reload-mcp.

Credits

Standard account setup is 32 credits per TikTok account, plus 2 credits per video slot and 5 credits per Advanced Warming target (minimum 3 targets). Nothing is charged until publish_bundle. Always read get_credit_costs — contract allowances override the standard rate. Details on Credits & Pricing.

Why not the official API

There is no account-creation endpoint in the TikTok for Developers API: Login Kit authorizes an existing user, and the Content Posting API posts on that user's behalf after they approve the video.publish scope. Creating accounts programmatically is therefore not a rate-limit question but an impossibility with first-party tools; TokPortal replaces it with human managers who create the account in the target country and keep it operated.

As of August 2026 the first-party routes look like this. TikTok's Content Posting API (Direct Post) requires each account owner to authorize your app with the video.publish scope, limits every user access token to 6 requests per minute, keeps all posts from unaudited apps in private viewing mode until TikTok audits the app, and enforces an unpublished daily post cap per user (spam_risk_too_many_posts) that integrators commonly report at roughly 15–25 posts per account per day. Meta's Instagram Content Publishing API allows 100 API-published posts per professional account in a 24-hour moving window and only for accounts you own and connect via OAuth. Neither creates accounts, warms them, or reports third-party bans. TokPortal is human-operated infrastructure: accounts created and run by managers in the target country, one X-API-Key for all of them, dated slots (max 3 per day per bundle) instead of per-account tokens.
