browse_subredditFetch posts from a subreddit sorted by your choice (hot/new/top/rising/controversial). Returns a post list with content, metadata, and a data_source field. With Reddit credentials (data_source "api") posts include score, num_comments, and upvote_ratio; without credentials, results come from Reddit's public RSS feed (data_source "rss") and those fields plus nsfw are null — see the response note and do not infer popularity from them.search_redditSearch for posts across Reddit or specific subreddits. Returns matching posts with content and metadata.get_post_detailsFetch a Reddit post with its comments. Requires EITHER url OR post_id. IMPORTANT: When using post_id alone, an extra API call is made to fetch the subreddit first (2 calls total). For better efficiency, always provide the subreddit parameter when known (1 call total).user_analysisAnalyze a Reddit user's posting history, karma, and activity patterns. Returns posts, comments, and statistics.reddit_explainGet explanations of Reddit terms, slang, and culture. Returns definition, origin, usage, and examples.search_jobsget_jobsearch_companiesget_companyai_scoreai_classifyai_extractai_writelist_leadssave_leadlist_lead_listsPaste either block (or both) into your client config, e.g. claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json. We only show a config when the install command is confirmed.
