Tools & capabilities

Reddit MCP Buddy tools 5

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.

Verified Handles tools 5

get_entryOne entry, by VHID, short name or Wikidata QID: its public record (title, description, handles, image, URL) and, as `editing`, what the editor would load for this key — the current revision, the editable fields, every handle with who manages it (the Wikidata sync or the site), which fields the sync manages, and whether this key may edit it live. Without an API key, the public record alone.
search_entriesSearch the entries as the site search does: words match titles, subtitles and descriptions; a Wikidata QID finds the entries linked to it; a VHID finds that entry and the entries that link to it.
find_by_handleWhich public entries list a handle: “is x.com/someone an official account, and whose?”. Give a profile’s address as url (https://x.com/someone), or platform (its catalog id: twitter, instagram, youtube, …) and value (someone or @someone). Answers each entry’s VHID, title and URL, the handle as the entry lists it, and whether that handle is verified; an empty list when no entry lists it. Case is ignored where the platform ignores it. Email addresses are not looked up.
get_entry_historyAn entry’s public edit history, newest first (`next_offset` pages on). A merged entry’s key gives its own history.
get_entriesUp to 50 entries’ public records in one call, by VHID or short name (not a Wikidata QID: get_entry or search_entries finds an entry by its item), each answered as get_entry answers it signed out — the entry, or not_found — in the order given. A name given twice is answered once.
