Reddit MCP: Documentation

Connection

Repo: github.com/Hawstein/mcp-server-reddit (183★). Install: uvx mcp-server-reddit (stdio). No auth needed — it uses Reddit's public JSON endpoints (reddit.com/.../top.json and similar), no OAuth app required.

Tools

get_frontpage_posts — Reddit's front-page posts, get_subreddit_posts — a specific subreddit's posts with sorting (top/hot/new) and a time range, get_post_comments — the comment tree under a post, get_subreddit_info — a subreddit's description and metadata.

Agent flow

"Show the top posts from this subreddit this week", "what's hot on the front page", "show the discussion under this post".

Pricing

Completely free — Reddit's public JSON endpoints need no key (though Reddit may throttle frequent requests from one IP).

Note

A community project (Hawstein); there's no official Reddit MCP. Read-only — the server can't post, vote or write comments.
