MCP.Pizza Chef: Hawstein

Reading Reddit without opening Reddit: your assistant can pull the front page, look up a subreddit, list its hot, new, top, or rising posts, and read a thread's comments. All eight tools are read-only, and no Reddit account, password, or key is involved ā€” it reads the same public pages anyone can see. It cannot post, vote, or reply. The comment-depth setting is accepted but ignored in the code, so replies always come back three levels deep. Posts are looked up by their short Reddit ID, not by pasting a full link.

mcp-server-reddit FAQ

Do I need a Reddit account or a paid key?
Neither. It reads Reddit's public pages with no login of any kind, which also means it only sees what a logged-out visitor would see.
Can I use this to summarize a Reddit thread?
Yes ā€” ask for the post's comments and your assistant condenses them. Give it the post's short Reddit ID, such as 1abc234, because a pasted reddit.com link will not resolve.
Can it post, comment, upvote, or message anyone?
No. Every one of the eight tools only reads, so there is nothing it can change on Reddit or on your account.
How deep do comment replies go?
Always three levels. The tool advertises a comment-depth setting, but the code never passes it through, so changing it has no effect.
Which apps does it work in?
Claude Desktop and Zed have documented setup steps, and it runs in any MCP app that can launch a local command. The Clinde desktop app installs it in one click.
How hard is it to set up?
You paste a few lines into your app's settings, but you first need either uv or Python on your computer for the command to run.
