find_top_posts

Instructions

Fetch and filter WSB posts based on criteria. Caches results for 5 minutes.

Args:
    min_score: Minimum score (upvotes) required
    min_comments: Minimum number of comments required
    limit: Maximum number of posts to return
    excluded_flairs: List of post flairs to exclude. Defaults to ["Meme", "Shitpost", "Gain", "Loss"].

Returns:
    A dictionary with filtered posts data

Implementation Reference

• server.py:118-211 (handler)

  The handler function decorated with @mcp.tool(), which registers and implements the 'find_top_posts' MCP tool. It fetches top posts from r/wallstreetbets subreddit using asyncpraw, applies filters for minimum score, comments, and excluded flairs, uses a heap to select top N posts, caches results, and returns a dictionary with post details.

  @mcp.tool()
  async def find_top_posts(min_score: int = 100, min_comments: int = 10, limit: int = 10, excluded_flairs: list[str] = ["Meme", "Shitpost", "Gain", "Loss"], ctx: Context = None) -> dict:
