Read what a subreddit is posting right now, to see a community's live activity.

Use this when the question is about what people in a specific community are currently saying or doing, or when a post is too recent for Reddit's search index to have caught it yet (search lags; "new" here does not).

Scores, upvote ratios, and comment counts are not available.

Args: subreddit: Subreddit name, with or without the "r/" prefix. sort: One of hot, new, top, rising, controversial. time_filter: For top/controversial — hour, day, week, month, year, all. limit: Number of posts (1-100).

Read one Reddit thread in full: the original post plus its comments.

Use this after a search or a browse turns up a promising thread and you need what people actually wrote in it, the details, caveats, corrections, and disagreements that a title alone never carries.

Comments come back as a flat list (the reply tree is not available), and neither are scores or vote counts.

Args: url: A Reddit post URL or permalink (e.g. https://www.reddit.com/r/python/comments/abc123/title/ or /r/python/comments/abc123/title/). comment_limit: Max comments to return.

Search Reddit discussions for real user opinions and experiences on a topic.

Use this when the answer depends on what people who actually used or did the thing report: hands-on impressions, "is X worth it", failure stories, workarounds, recommendations, or where a community currently stands. Returns matching posts and their text; follow up with get_post to read the comments.

Reddit's own search covers post titles and bodies, not comment text, so no results means Reddit did not surface it, not that nobody posted it.

Args: query: Search terms. subreddit: Restrict to this subreddit (with or without "r/"). sort: relevance, hot, top, new, comments. time_filter: hour, day, week, month, year, all. limit: Number of results (1-100).

Read a Reddit feed the other tools do not cover: a user, multireddit, or domain.

Use this only for Reddit URLs outside the usual shapes, such as /user/, /r/+, or /domain/. For browsing a subreddit, searching, or reading a thread, use browse_subreddit, search_reddit, or get_post instead.

This is not a general web fetcher. URLs on other hosts are refused unless the operator sets REDDIT_MCP_ALLOW_ANY_URL=1.

Args: url: A reddit.com URL.
