Questions about the Reddit MCP
Do I need Reddit API keys?
No. Manifold is hosted and reads Reddit through a data provider, so there is no Reddit app to register and nothing to install.
What can my agent look up on Reddit?
Posts and comments that match a search, every new post in the subreddits you name, a single thread with its comments, and subreddits for a topic with their rules.
Is Reddit search complete?
No. Search is ranked, like Reddit’s own, and never returns everything. To see everything posted in a community, ask for its new posts: that tool returns the whole time window and says how much it covered. Reddit tools in the docs
Can it alert me to new Reddit posts?
Yes. A Reddit monitor searches your keywords, or reads every new post in the subreddits you name, hourly, daily or weekly, and emails you when a new thread needs an answer. Your agent reads what it found. Reddit monitoring
Which clients does it work with?
Claude, Claude Code, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Grok, OpenCode and any other client that connects to a remote MCP server. Sign in with OAuth, or use an API key from the dashboard for scripts. Setup guides for every client
Can it find threads that ChatGPT and Google cite?
Yes, with the other tools on the same server. The AI visibility tools show which pages AI answers cite, and Reddit threads are often among them. AI visibility MCP
