Dev builds a Reddit MCP giving agents 14 read-only tools via one npx command
Ok-Establishment9204 · reddit · 2026-09-16
Reddit closed its public . endpoints around March/April 2026, making it hard for agents to read Reddit data. A developer dug into Reddit's endpoint mechanics and wrapped the working approach into an MCP server.
- One npx command exposes 14 read-only tools: posts, search results, comment trees, user info
- The MCP layer handles the Reddit side (auth, fetching); the agent only sees clean JSON, no proxies needed
- The author did the endpoint research with a Claude subscription
