Connect this server

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
claude mcp add reddit-mcp-server -- npx -y reddit-mcp-server
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "reddit-mcp-server": {
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "reddit-mcp-server"
      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }
  }

    }
  }
}

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: REDDIT_CLIENT_ID (Reddit app client ID (optional - enables higher rate limits)), REDDIT_CLIENT_SECRET (Reddit app client secret), REDDIT_USERNAME (Reddit username (required for write operations)), REDDIT_PASSWORD (Reddit password (required for write operations)), REDDIT_AUTH_MODE (Authentication mode: auto, authenticated, or anonymous), REDDIT_SAFE_MODE (Write safeguards: off, standard (default), or strict), REDDIT_BOT_DISCLOSURE (Bot disclosure footer: auto or off (default)), REDDIT_BOT_FOOTER (Custom bot footer text (used with REDDIT_BOT_DISCLOSURE=auto)). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Reddit MCP Server — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Reddit MCP Server?
Reddit MCP Server 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 reddit-mcp-server was installed 478 times last week.
How do I connect Reddit MCP Server?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls reddit-mcp-server straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Reddit MCP Server?
The npm package reddit-mcp-server was installed 478 times in the last week. Week over week that is +4%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Reddit MCP Server open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript, 261 stars on GitHub and 4 open issues. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
