An MCP server that allows AI agents to search Reddit or find specific leads by delegating the scraping task to Apify cloud actors.

Overview

built a bridge between AI clients and Reddit so I could automate my lead generation, and I just packaged it up as an easy-to-install MCP server.

I wanted to use Claude to monitor Reddit for specific keywords (e.g., "competitor alternatives" or "hiring"), but pasting JSON dumps into the chat window was annoying and consumed all my context tokens.

so I built an MCP Server that wraps my Apify Actors. It gives Claude two specific tools:

reddit_fast_search: Quick, cheap searches for general info.

reddit_lead_monitor: A "smart" search that filters out spam/crypto/duplicates and returns clean, high-intent posts.
