Make sure to select "script"!

  1. Copy the client ID and client secret

  2. 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 😜)

  1. Run with npm run dev and open the inspection server (http://127.0.0.1:6274/)

  1. If the connection works, add this to your MCP config (for Cursor or Claude, depending on which agent you are using)
  "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)
