MCP.Pizza Chef: adhikasp

Ask what a subreddit is talking about today and your assistant pulls back the busiest threads, then opens a single post along with its comment discussion so it can summarize where the argument landed. No account and no key are needed, which makes it one of the easier things here to try. The catch is age: nothing has been committed to this project since May 2025, so if Reddit changes how its pages work, nobody is likely to fix it.

Unmaintained · no commits since May 2025

mcp-reddit FAQ

Is this project still maintained?

It appears dormant. The last code change was May 2025, more than a year before this listing, and the author names no replacement.

Do I need a Reddit account or a key?

No. It reads public subreddit content without asking you to sign in or paste any credentials.

Which apps does it work in?

Claude Desktop is the one the project documents, and it should work in other assistants that accept a small config snippet.

How hard is the setup?

Light. You paste a short block into your assistant's config file, or install it through Smithery with a single command.

Can I use this to research what people think about a product?

Yes, as long as it still runs. Name the subreddit and your assistant reads the threads and comments back to you.

Can it post or comment on my behalf?

No. It only fetches and reads. There is nothing in it for writing anything back to Reddit.
