MCP server

Model Context Protocol

A native MCP server lives at https://api.redditintel.dev/mcp/. Add one config block and Claude Desktop, Cursor, or any MCP-capable client gets every Reddit Intel surface natively.

Configuration

Add this to your MCP client's server configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "reddit-intel": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://api.redditintel.dev/mcp/",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer <YOUR_API_KEY>"
      }
    }
  }
}

The transport is streamable HTTP. Tool / resource / prompt catalogs load lazily on first call.

Tools (18)

Names mirror the REST endpoints. The two tools without a REST equivalent (track_subreddit, find_demand_signals_tool) are agent conveniences.

  • get_subredditSubreddit profile.
  • list_subreddit_postsPaginated posts.
  • get_postSingle post.
  • list_post_commentsComment tree.
  • list_user_postsUser's posts.
  • list_user_commentsUser's comments.

Prompts

Pre-written task templates the agent can invoke for common workflows.

  • summarize_subreddit_trendsDaily summary of trend signals for a subreddit.
  • find_rising_aboutFind subreddits where a topic is rising.
  • compare_subredditsCompare two subreddits across metrics.

Resources

URI-addressable views over the same underlying data. Useful for agents that prefer the resource pattern over tool calls.

  • reddit://r/{name}/trends/latestLatest trend snapshot.
  • reddit://post/{post_id}Post with comments.
  • reddit://demand/{niche}Canned demand mining (saas, indie-hackers, finance).
