# Find the Reddit threads where buyers ask for a tool like yours

> Ask your agent to search Reddit for the question your buyers ask, over the past year, and to sort the threads by how many people took part. Manifold reads Reddit for your agent without a Reddit API app, at 1 credit a search page.

## The prompt

We asked our own agent, Claude Code connected to Manifold, on 26 October 2026:

```text
Find Reddit threads from the past year where people ask about SEO MCP servers. List each
thread with its subreddit, date, score and comment count, and tell me which ones ask for a
recommendation we could answer as the founder of an SEO MCP server.
```

## What the agent concluded

Four threads ask for recommendations or opinions a founder could answer:

1. **Best MCP server for SEO?** in r/SEO_Experts asks for servers that run daily checks and scheduled client reports. An honest answer has to say what Manifold does not do yet: it looks things up when asked, and does not schedule reports.
2. **Free MCPs or skills for SEO/GEO** in r/mcp asks for free options, which the free plan and the free skills library answer directly.
3. **Top 15+ MCP servers that are actually useful in 2026?** in r/ClaudeAI asks people to argue with a list of useful servers. It has the most replies of the seven.
4. **Would an SEO MCP server actually be useful?** in r/seogrowth asks SEOs what they would want, AI search visibility among it.

The other three are posts about the authors' own projects; replying there with our product would be self-promotion on someone else's post.

## Before you reply

Say who you are, answer the question that was asked, and follow each community's rules on self-promotion. Your agent drafts the reply in the chat; you read the thread and post it yourself.

## Questions

### Does the search find every thread?

No. Reddit search is ranked and never complete. Search two or three phrasings of the question, and use the new-posts tool to watch a community instead.

### Should I reply as the founder?

Reply only where your answer helps the person who asked, say who you are, and follow each community's rules on self-promotion. Your agent drafts; you decide and post.

### Can the agent post the reply for me?

No. Manifold looks things up. Your agent drafts the reply in the chat, and you post it yourself.
