Create a Reddit app [here](https://www.reddit.com/prefs/apps)  Make sure to select "script"! 3. Copy the client ID and client secret 4. Create a `.env` file based on `.env.example` Do this with your `REDDIT_CLIENT_ID` and `REDDIT_CLIENT_SECRET` If you want to write posts you need to include your `REDDIT_USERNAME` and `REDDIT_PASSWORD` (don't worry, I won't steal them 😜) 5. Run with `npm run dev` and open the inspection server (http://127.0.0.1:6274/)  6. If the connection works, add this to your MCP config (for Cursor or Claude, depending on which agent you are using) ```json "mcpServers": { "reddit": { "command": "node", "args": [ "C:\\path\\to\\reddit-mcp-server\\build\\index.js" // Replace this with your local path to build/index.js ], "env": { "REDDIT_CLIENT_ID": "😜", "REDDIT_CLIENT_SECRET": "😜", "REDDIT_USERNAME": "😜", "REDDIT_PASSWORD": "😜" }, "autoApprove": [ "get_reddit_post", "get_top_posts", "get_user_info", "get_subreddit_info", "get_trending_subreddits", "create_post", "reply_to_post" ] // You don't need to add this, but it makes it so that you don't have to keep clicking approve } } ``` (Make sure to replace the environmental variables with your actual keys, not the 😜 emoji) ## 📚 Credits - Credit goes to the [Python Reddit MCP Server](https://github.com/Arindam200/reddit-mcp) by Arindam200 for the inspiration and implementation of these tools. This repository is, at the moment, simply a Node.js port of the Python implementation. - Credit goes to [Eugene Sh](https://medium.com/@eugenesh4work/how-to-build-an-mcp-server-fast-a-step-by-step-tutorial-e09faa5f7e3b) for the tutorial on how to build an MCP server (which was used as a reference for this implementation).
