MCP.Pizza Chef: Arindam200

Your assistant can fetch the top posts in a subreddit over a chosen period, search Reddit for a phrase either everywhere or inside one community, read a specific thread from its link, look through one person's posting history, and report how busy a community is. Add your own Reddit login and it can also publish a post or reply for you. Credentials come from a free Reddit app registration. The last code change was December 2025.

reddit-mcp FAQ

Is it still being updated?
It has been quiet since December 2025, roughly seven months of no changes. Nothing is broken or deprecated, and no replacement is named, but treat it as lightly maintained.
Which apps does it work in?
Claude Desktop and Cursor are both documented, and any other app that speaks MCP can run it from the same config block.
Do I need a key?
Yes. You register a free app on Reddit's own settings page and paste the two values it gives you into the config. That is enough for reading.
Can I use this to research what people say about my product?
Yes — search across all of Reddit or inside particular communities, then have your assistant pull out the recurring complaints and compliments.
Can it post or comment as me?
Only if you also supply your Reddit username and password. Leave those out and it can read but never write.
How hard is the setup?
Harder than average. You download the project, install a Python runner, register the Reddit app, and fill several file paths into the config by hand.
Does it cost anything to use?
The project is free and Reddit credentials are free to create for personal use, though heavy automated reading runs into Reddit's own limits.
