Capabilities

What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.

Sends data to a third-party sink src/tools.js:613, [пакет] src/tools.js:613

        "Payload shape to send. PREFER OMITTING THIS: for a hooks.slack.com or discord.com/api/webhooks URL the kind is inferred from the host, and the response reports what it inferred in `kind_inferred_from`. 'slack'/'discord' format as native incoming-webhook messages; 'webhoo…

This code can reach further than it looks

We found places where it runs commands, builds paths or queries from values it is given. None of that is a flaw by itself — it becomes one when the code changes, and code changes quietly between releases. We re-read it on every one.

RedditAPIs — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for RedditAPIs?

RedditAPIs 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 redditapis-mcp was installed 116 times last week.

How do I connect RedditAPIs?

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 redditapis-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.

How many people use RedditAPIs?

The npm package redditapis-mcp was installed 116 times in the last week. Week over week that is -72%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is RedditAPIs open source?

Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in JavaScript 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.
