reddit-mcp-buddy

What it does

An MCP server that lets Claude Desktop and other assistants browse subreddits, search posts, pull comments and analyse user activity — browsing works with no API keys, and adding free Reddit credentials unlocks the rest. Useful when you want what actual users said rather than what a vendor claims. Summaries flatten opinion into apparent fact, so check the source thread on anything that matters, and Reddit's terms govern what you do with the content. MIT.
