Reddit Lead Finder & Brand Monitor (Apify) – leads, mentions, alerts

Reddit Scraper MCP server

MCP server for the Reddit Scraper Apify Actor. Gives Claude, Cursor, Codex, Windsurf, ChatGPT and any other MCP client three tools for Reddit as structured JSON: keyword search, URL scraping with full comment threads, and bulk subreddit pulls. No Reddit API key, no login. Billed per result on Apify ($2 per 1,000 results, less with Apify plan discounts; the free plan covers small runs).

Reddit API and RSS shutdown. Reddit stops accepting new API access requests on 2026-10-31. Reddit RSS feeds stop on 2026-11-13. This server does not use a Reddit API key, a Reddit app or RSS, so neither date changes your setup.

Two ways to connect. Both need an Apify token. No Apify account yet? Sign up free, then copy the token from https://console.apify.com/account/integrations.

Option A — remote (nothing to install)

Apify hosts the Actor as an MCP tool:

{  "mcpServers": {    "reddit-scraper": {      "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=harshmaur/reddit-scraper",      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer <APIFY_TOKEN>" }    }  }}

Stdio-only clients can bridge with npx mcp-remote https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=harshmaur/reddit-scraper. This is the endpoint registered in the official MCP Registry as io.github.harshmaur/reddit-scraper.

Option B — local stdio server (this repo)

Purpose-built tools with typed arguments, so the model fills in queries, subreddit, postedAfter instead of a raw Actor input object.

{  "mcpServers": {    "reddit-scraper": {      "command": "npx",      "args": ["-y", "reddit-scraper-mcp"],      "env": { "APIFY_TOKEN": "<APIFY_TOKEN>" }    }  }}

Published on npm as reddit-scraper-mcp. Or clone and run node index.js. Node 20+.

Environment:

Every item carries dataType (post, comment, community, user_profile); posts include title, body, postUrl, communityName, authorName, score, commentsCount, createdAt, flair. Field reference: https://apify.com/harshmaur/reddit-scraper#output-example

Automation templates

• templates/n8n/ — importable n8n workflows: Reddit mentions → Slack, Reddit lead alerts → Google Sheets.
• templates/make/ — Make scenario recipe for Slack, Notion or Sheets.
• Published n8n templates: new subreddit posts to Slack, Reddit keyword mentions to Slack and Gmail.
• Published Make templates: daily Reddit keyword alerts to Slack, AI lead scoring to Slack.

The Actor can also deliver results itself (Slack, Notion, Airtable, Sheets) through its mcpConnector input, with an Apify Schedule as the trigger, if you prefer no middleware.
