How do I install Reddit?

Copy the stdio config for Cursor, Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or VS Code on this page. It uses the publisher's install, not a PlugMCP proxy.

Does Reddit need an API key?

The publisher lists these environment variables: REDDIT_CLIENT_ID, REDDIT_CLIENT_SECRET, REDDIT_USERNAME, REDDIT_PASSWORD, REDDIT_AUTH_MODE, REDDIT_SAFE_MODE, REDDIT_BOT_DISCLOSURE, REDDIT_BOT_FOOTER.

What transport does Reddit use?

Reddit runs locally over stdio.

When was Reddit last checked?

REDDIT_CLIENT_SECRET — Reddit app client secret
REDDIT_USERNAME — Reddit username (required for write operations)
REDDIT_PASSWORD — Reddit password (required for write operations)
REDDIT_AUTH_MODE — Authentication mode: auto or authenticated (anonymous is a deprecated alias for keyless)
REDDIT_SAFE_MODE — Write safeguards: off, standard (default), or strict
REDDIT_BOT_DISCLOSURE — Bot disclosure footer: auto or off (default)
REDDIT_BOT_FOOTER — Custom bot footer text (used with REDDIT_BOT_DISCLOSURE=auto)
