Click on "Deploy Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@reddirect show me the top posts from r/programming"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
Reddit MCP Server - No API Keys Required
Browse, post, comment, vote, and queue actions with timed delays from any MCP client. No API keys. Just install and go.
Every other Reddit MCP server requires you to register an app, get API keys, and configure OAuth. reddirect doesn't. It uses Reddit's public OAuth for reads and a one-time browser login for writes - zero setup friction.
Other Reddit MCPs | reddirect | |
API keys | Required | Not needed |
App registration | Required | Not needed |
OAuth setup | Required | Not needed |
Password stored | In config file | Never stored |

npm install -g reddirectAdd to your MCP client configuration:
{
"mcpServers": {
"reddirect": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "reddirect"]
}
}
}Reads work immediately - browse subreddits, search posts, check profiles.
For writes, run the authorize tool once. A Chrome window opens, you log into Reddit, and it closes automatically. That's it.

Scored across 20 tools
Each tool targets a distinct action or resource (e.g., authorize, browse, create, delete, vote, save). No two tools have overlapping purposes; even similar operations like subscribe/unsubscribe are clearly differentiated.
All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern in lowercase snake_case (e.g., browse_subreddit, create_post, get_inbox). Even single-word names like 'authorize' and 'reply' fit the verb-first pattern.
With 20 tools, the server covers a wide range of Reddit operations without being bloated. The count is appropriate for a full-featured Reddit client, balancing usability and coverage.
The server covers core CRUD operations, voting, saving, searching, and inbox management. Missing a tool to list the user's own posts or comments, but this is a minor gap given the overall breadth.
