Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Reddit Ads every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

run in your terminal

}

Put your own value in place of <REDDIT_ADS_ACCOUNT_IDS> (Comma-separated Reddit ad account IDs (a2_...) the server may reach. Required even for reads). The author’s registry entry marks it as required.

Optional settings from the registry entry, left out of the block above: REDDIT_ADS_ACCESS_TOKEN (Reddit OAuth access token with adsread. Optional when the refresh credentials are set), REDDIT_ADS_REFRESH_TOKEN (Permanent refresh token. With the app credentials, the server renews tokens in memory), REDDIT_ADS_CLIENT_ID (Client ID of your Reddit app, needed with the refresh token), REDDIT_ADS_CLIENT_SECRET (Secret of your Reddit app, needed with the refresh token), REDDIT_ADS_ENABLE_WRITES (true exposes 22 write tools, each previewing until confirm:true. Defaults to false), REDDIT_ADS_USER_AGENT (User-Agent sent to Reddit, ideally naming your app and Reddit username).

Reddit Ads — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Reddit Ads?
Reddit Ads runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the npm package @getmcpads/reddit-ads-mcp-server.
How do I connect Reddit Ads?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls @getmcpads/reddit-ads-mcp-server straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
Is Reddit Ads open source?
Yes — it is published under the Apache-2.0 licence, written in TypeScript and 0 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
