Install path detected from listing signals. Uses `npx` (confidence: high):

```json
"mcpServers": {
  "bigvik193-reddit-user-mcp": {
    "command": "npx",
    "args": ["-y","@reddable/reddit-user-mcp"],
    "env": {
      "REDDABLE_API_KEY": ""
    }
  }
}
```

**Requires environment variables:** `REDDABLE_API_KEY` — the values above are empty placeholders; fill in real credentials before running (see the repository for what each one is for).

## What BigVik193-reddit-user-mcp MCP server does

BigVik193-reddit-user-mcp MCP server exposes selected Reddit activity and interaction actions to an MCP-compatible client. It connects to Reddit through Reddable, which handles the account connection and API requests. The available operations cover both reading activity and making changes to the authenticated user's Reddit view or conversations.

The read operations retrieve posts associated with a user, comments associated with a user, and the comments belonging to a specific post. The interaction operations can hide a comment from the user's view, send a reply to a comment, or add a new comment to a post.

This is a focused Reddit interface rather than a general-purpose Reddit administration layer. Its documented scope is user activity, post comments, comment visibility, replies, and new comments.

## How it works

An MCP client starts the server with the package command and supplies a Reddable API key through the environment. The server uses that credential to make requests through Reddable on behalf of the connected Reddit account. Reddit credentials remain stored by Reddable, and the setup does not require the user to provide direct Reddit application credentials.

The server uses long-term API-key authentication. Each exposed MCP tool represents one Reddit operation, so an agent can select the appropriate read or write action based on the task. For example, an agent can first retrieve comments for a post and then use the comment interaction tools when a response or visibility change is needed.

## Setup and configuration

BigVik193-reddit-user-mcp MCP server can be configured in Claude Desktop with an MCP server entry that runs `npx -y @reddable/reddit-user-mcp`. Set `REDDABLE_API_KEY` in the entry's `env` object.

To obtain the key, open the Reddable Dashboard, connect the Reddit account, and find the MCP Integration section. The setup instructions there provide the API key. A representative configuration is:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "reddit-user": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@reddable/reddit-user-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "REDDABLE_API_KEY": "your_reddable_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

For local development, the repository documents `npm install` followed by `npm run dev`. The development command starts a server with ngrok tunneling for testing.

## Tools and capabilities

The documented tools are:

- `get_user_posts`: retrieves Reddit posts from a user.
- `get_user_comments`: retrieves Reddit comments from a user.
- `get_post_comments`: retrieves all comments on a specific post.
- `hide_comment`: hides a Reddit comment from the authenticated user's view.
- `reply_to_comment`: replies to a specific comment.
- `post_comment`: publishes a new comment on a post.

Together, these tools support activity review, post discussion lookup, comment hiding, replies, and new comment submission.

## Limitations and notes

BigVik193-reddit-user-mcp MCP server depends on a Reddable account connection and a valid `REDDABLE_API_KEY`.

The repository identifies TypeScript and Smithery as part of its implementation, but it does not specify additional client-specific behavior beyond the Claude Desktop configuration.
