r/Reddit Research MCP Connector

This server lets Claude run Reddit research — keyword search, subreddit feeds, posts with comments, user profiles — through Reddit Data Engine for Claude (MCP), an Apify Actor reserved and built specifically for this connector. Built and maintained by Practical Tools.

Less than a cent per result — $0.008 per post, comment, profile, or subreddit returned (as low as $0.004 on paid Apify plans). Every Apify account, including new free ones, gets $5 of platform usage credit every month — that's 625 results, free, no credit card required.

How to connect

1. Don't have an Apify account? Sign up free at console.apify.com/sign-up — no credit card required.
2. In Claude, go to Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector.
3. Enter https://redditmcp.practical.tools/mcp Copy .
4. Claude opens this server's consent screen — grab an API token at console.apify.com/account/integrations, paste it, and submit.
5. Ask Claude to search Reddit for something.

Tools

• search_reddit — keyword search across posts, comments, subreddits, or users
• get_subreddit_posts — the feed of a specific subreddit
• get_post_with_comments — a post and its full comment thread, by URL
• get_user_profile — a user's profile and recent posts

All four tools are read-only — none of them can post, comment, vote, or modify anything on Reddit or Apify.

Billing

Apify bills your account directly for what it scrapes — $0.008 per result (as low as $0.004/result on paid Apify plans). Apify's free plan includes $5/month of platform usage, which covers 625 results at this price before you'd spend anything real. This connector has no billing of its own and never sees your payment details.
