I love Reddit and often discover amazing content here. However, reading through every post and hundreds of comments can be time-consuming and overwhelming. Sometimes I come across a fascinating thread with extensive discussions in the comments, and I wish I could get a quick overview before diving deeper.
That’s why I built mcp-server-reddit - a tool that fetches Reddit’s hot/new/top/rising posts and their comments, allowing Claude AI to help read and summarize the content. With mcp-server-reddit, you can simply ask:
Summarize the comments on this Reddit post: <insert_post_url_here>
or
Show me the hot posts from r/ClaudeAI
This way, Claude can provide a concise summary of the discussions, helping you identify the most interesting points before reading the full thread. It’s like having an AI assistant to help you navigate through Reddit’s vast content more efficiently.
Examples of Questions
- “What are the current hot posts on Reddit’s frontpage?”
- “Tell me about the r/ClaudeAI subreddit”
- “What are the hot posts in the r/ClaudeAI subreddit?”

- “What are the top 69 posts of all time in r/ClaudeAI?”
- “What posts are trending in r/ClaudeAI right now?”
