Summary
Read Reddit on app credentials; hand over an account only when you want to write.
The split matters in practice — research, competitor watching and trend spotting all sit on the client-credential side, so you can run the whole read half without putting a Reddit password in a config file.
What it is
A Reddit server split by credential level: four read tools that work on app credentials alone, and three write tools that need a Reddit login.
What you get
- Top posts from a subreddit over a time window you choose, with a result limit
- A subreddit analysis covering the community as a whole
- A user profile with engagement detail
- The current list of trending subreddits
- A new post created in a subreddit, with title, body and flair
- A reply to a post, or to a specific comment
Requirements
A Reddit app of type 'script', giving a client ID and a client secret — that pair covers everything read-only. Posting and replying additionally need the account's own username and password.
Setup effort
One command plus a key — npx -y @smithery/cli install @alexandros-lekkas/reddit-mcp-server --client claude, then supply credentials
