Overview

AI-generated overview

A local MCP server that lets an assistant search Reddit posts semantically, browse subreddits and read trending topics.

What you can do
Search Reddit conversations with natural-language semantic queries, with a configurable result limit up to 100 per request and a default of 20. List available subreddits with pagination and filter them by name, title or description. Fetch details about a specific subreddit by name. Retrieve Reddit trend articles and insights, filtered by time period (latest, today, week, month) and category.
When to use it
Useful when you want an assistant to research what people say on Reddit about a topic, explore a community before posting or engaging, or surface current trending discussions without browsing Reddit manually.
Requirements
Runs as a local process on the user's machine, installed globally via npm or launched with npx, so Node.js is needed. Claude Desktop configuration is documented. An optional REDDIT_INSIGHTS_API_KEY environment variable enables premium features; the README says to obtain it from the vendor's site. Network access is implied by the remote search service.
Before you install
The optional REDDIT_INSIGHTS_API_KEY is a credential placed in the client configuration; keep it out of shared files. Search queries and subreddit lookups are sent to a third-party service, so avoid including sensitive information in queries. The tools are read-only per the README, but results come from an external provider and may be incomplete or outdated.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Reddit Insights Mcp in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Desktop only via STDIO. STDIO servers start a local process, so they need the SourceWeft desktop host.
