reddit-mcp

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that lets LLMs fetch and read content from Reddit. Give Claude the ability to browse posts, comments, and subreddit listings.

Features

  • Post pages — fetches title, body, metadata, and threaded comments

  • Subreddit listings — retrieves post listings from any subreddit

  • User pages — browses a user's post history

  • Short links — automatically expands redd.it URLs

  • Safety built-in — untrusted content disclaimer, text truncation, timeout protection, rate limit handling

Requirements

  • Node.js 22+

cd reddit-mcp
npm install
npm run build

Claude Desktop

Add to your Claude Desktop MCP config (claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "reddit": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/reddit-mcp/dist/index.js"]
    }
  }
}

Parameter

Type

Required

Description

url

string

Yes

Reddit URL (post, subreddit, or user page)

comment_limit

number

No

Max top-level comments to include (0-50, default 15)

Supported URL formats:

  • https://reddit.com/r/subreddit/comments/id/title/

  • https://reddit.com/r/subreddit/

  • https://reddit.com/user/username/

  • https://redd.it/id

  • Old/new/www Reddit URL variants

How It Works

Uses Reddit's public JSON API — no API keys or OAuth needed. The server communicates over stdio using the MCP protocol, so it works as a local tool for any MCP-compatible client.

Content safety measures:

  • All output is prefixed with an untrusted-content disclaimer

  • Post/comment text truncated at 20,000 characters

  • Comment nesting limited to 2 levels, 5 replies per comment

  • 15-second request timeout

  • Rate limit (429) and forbidden (403) error handling
