How It Works

User → MCP Client (Claude/Cursor) → MCP Server → Reddit API + DeepSeek AI
                                                         ↓
                                              Analysis & Content Generation

The server uses PRAW (Python Reddit API Wrapper) for Reddit data retrieval and DeepSeek's AI for intelligent analysis, content generation, and strategy recommendations.
