forumport

Reddit as MCP tools, talking to the Reddit API. forumport is a clean-room rebuild of the core surface of the Reddit MCP server, under a new name: fresh code, no copied branding.

Auth model — TOKEN-ENV ONLY: tools take REDDIT_ACCESS_TOKEN directly and send it as Authorization: Bearer against https://oauth.reddit.com. The OAuth app flow (REDDIT_CLIENT_ID/REDDIT_CLIENT_SECRET + script/password grant + refresh) is NOT reproduced.

Tools (core subset, 12)

get_subreddit_hot, get_subreddit_new, get_subreddit_top, search_posts, get_post, get_post_comments, get_subreddit_about, search_subreddits, get_user_profile, get_user_posts, submit_post, create_comment.

Not in this subset: OAuth app authorization/token/refresh flow, private messages and inbox, moderation tools, wiki, flair management, awards/gold, multireddits/collections, user settings/preferences, subreddit settings/admin, live threads, media upload, voting and save/hide/report writes beyond submit/comment, account creation.

Setup

Create a Reddit access token and set it:

export REDDIT_ACCESS_TOKEN=...

Optionally override the API base with REDDIT_API_BASE_URL (default https://oauth.reddit.com) and the User-Agent with REDDIT_USER_AGENT (default forumport/0.1.0 (MCP rebuild)). Every request carries the token as a Bearer header and a User-Agent header. Without the token, every tool call fails with an error naming the missing variable.

CLI

npx @reneturcios/forumport get_subreddit_hot '{"subreddit":"node","limit":10}'
npx @reneturcios/forumport mcp        # stdio MCP server

Each tool name is a subcommand taking one JSON object argument.
