Search posts across all of Reddit or within one subreddit (`subreddit`).
reddit_search_comments
Search by comment text; returns the parent posts, since Reddit's comment search does not hand back the matching comment itself.
reddit_deep_comment_search
Genuine comment search: returns the actual matching comment bodies (score, author, comment-deep permalink, parent post). `limit` sets how many parent posts to expand; `group_by="author"` switches to research mode (the distinct people talking about your query). Premium call.
reddit_search_media
Search posts filtered to media, narrowed by `kind` (`image`, `video`, `gif`, `all`).
reddit_search_communities
Find subreddits by name or topic (title, subscribers, description, NSFW flag).
Ready-to-Paste Client Configurations
Paste either (or both) of these JSON server blocks into your client config file (e.g. claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json).
