reddit_search is the tool doing something a plain Reddit query cannot, matching on meaning across the vendor's index, while reddit_list_subreddits, reddit_get_subreddit and reddit_get_trends are the ordinary lookups you reach for once a result points somewhere worth following. What the surface does not offer is any way to post, comment, or fetch one specific thread by URL, which makes this a listening tool rather than a participating one.
A semantic search client over a hosted Reddit index, with 4 tools: a meaning-based search across posts, a paginated subreddit directory, per-subreddit detail with recent posts, and a trends feed.
- Search that matches on meaning rather than on the words you happened to pick: reddit_search runs a semantic query across what the vendor describes as millions of Reddit posts and returns the discussions, opinions and insights that match, capped by limit.
- A directory you can page through instead of guessing at names: reddit_list_subreddits returns available subreddits with their information under limit and page, narrowed by a search term.
- One community in detail: reddit_get_subreddit returns information about a named subreddit together with its recent posts, so a result can be placed in context without a second service.
- What is currently moving: reddit_get_trends returns trend articles and insights, filtered by category and filter and paged through page and perPage.
A vendor API key in REDDIT_INSIGHTS_API_KEY, and nothing else — no Reddit application credentials of your own appear anywhere in the surface, because the index and the search both sit on the vendor's side.
