FAQ from mcp-reddit

What dependencies does mcp-reddit require?

Docker is mandatory to run the server. For local development, Python 3.12+ and the packages in requirements.txt are needed. Reddit API credentials are always required.

What are the rate limits or usage restrictions?

Reddit API has its own rate limits. The server defaults to returning at most 5 search results and 10 comments per post. These limits are configurable via the limit and comment_limit parameters.

Where does my data live?

All data is fetched from Reddit’s public API in real time. No data is stored locally or on the server; only the API credentials are kept as environment variables.

How do I authenticate with the Reddit API?

You must provide REDDIT_CLIENT_ID, REDDIT_CLIENT_SECRET, and REDDIT_USER_AGENT as environment variables when running the Docker container. These are obtained from the Reddit app management page.

What transport protocol does the server use?

The server communicates over standard input/output (stdio) inside the Docker container, as is typical for MCP servers. It is designed to be used with Claude Desktop’s MCP client.
