Create a Reddit app here
Make sure to select “script”!
Copy the client ID and client secret
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 )
- Run with
npm run dev
and open the inspection server (http://127.0.0.1:6274/)
- If the connection works, add this to your MCP config (for Cursor or Claude, depending on which agent you are using)
