Overview

AI-generated overview

A local MCP server that lets an AI assistant search Reddit posts, comments and users, and find leads or brand mentions, by delegating scraping to Apify cloud.

What you can do
Search Reddit posts, comments and users quickly for general information gathering via reddit_fast_search. Find high-intent leads or brand mentions while filtering out noise via reddit_lead_monitor. Scraping work is delegated to Apify cloud actors rather than done locally.
When to use it
Useful when an assistant needs Reddit research: gathering public discussion on a topic, checking what users say about a brand, or surfacing potential leads from Reddit threads.
Requirements
Runs as a local stdio process, typically launched with npx from the npm package @practicaltools/reddit-mcp-server, so Node.js is needed. Requires an Apify account and an Apify API token supplied in the APIFY_API_TOKEN environment variable. Network access is needed for Apify cloud actors.
Before you install
Requires the secret APIFY_API_TOKEN; keep it out of shared configs and repositories. Apify usage may incur costs on your Apify account, and Reddit content is sent to Apify's cloud for scraping. Results reflect public Reddit data and may be incomplete or outdated.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Reddit Mcp Server 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.

Other MCP clients

Follow the launch instructions in the repository.
