Overview
TypeScript MCP server that exposes Reddit browsing, search, post and comment retrieval, user analysis and subreddit lookup as tools over stdio. It requires credentials for an already-approved Reddit API app, and optional posting tools can be enabled with REDDIT_BUDDY_WRITE. Reddit is closing public API access in stages through March 2027, so new users cannot get credentials.
Who it is for: Holders of approved Reddit API apps using MCP clients like Claude
Strengths
Six read tools plus opt-in posting tools that stay hidden by default
Supports app-only, password-grant and refresh-token OAuth (--oauth flow)
NSFW filtering set per call or server-wide via REDDIT_BUDDY_NSFW
Installs via npx, a Claude Desktop .mcpb extension, or Docker
Weaknesses
New users cannot use it: Reddit stopped issuing API access on 2026-10-31
Credential-free RSS fallback ends 2026-11-13; then every Reddit tool needs credentials
Access closes for unregistered apps from 2027-01-12, fully by March 2027
Write tools work over stdio only; the HTTP transport refuses to register them
What it needs
no GPU
Docker
Needs Reddit API credentials (approved app), Node.js / npx
