Legacy vs connector & migration
How the default Linkeddit connector (OAuth) differs from the legacy Reddit MCP (API key), and how to move between them.
At a glance
| Linkeddit connector (default) | Legacy Reddit MCP | |
|---|---|---|
| Endpoint | https://mcp.linkeddit.com/mcp | https://linkeddit.com/api/mcp/reddit/mcp |
| Auth | OAuth 2.1 in the browser — no keys | X-Client-Id / X-Client-Secret headers |
| Setup | Add the URL and authorize | Generate keys at /mcp/keys, add headers |
| Tools | 42 — Answer Radar (15) + Reddit (4) + leads, keyword, competitive-intelligence, subreddit, content, outreach (23) | 27 — Reddit, leads, keywords, subreddits, compete, content, outreach |
| Access | Compete plan (unlocks all 42 tools) | Pro membership (API keys) |
| Best for | The full toolset in one keyless server — demand & competitor intelligence, Answer Radar, leads, keywords, content | The same lead/keyword/compete/content tools over API keys (Pro) |
Which should I use?
Use the connector for new setups: it is keyless, it is the only surface with Answer Radar, and on the Compete plan it now exposes the full toolset — leads, keyword research, competitive intelligence, subreddit discovery, content, and outreach — so you no longer need a second server. The legacy Reddit MCP (API keys) remains for Pro-plan users who want those business tools without Compete.
Both surfaces are live and can be connected at the same time in the same client under different names.
Moving to the connector
- Add a new connector in your client pointing at https://mcp.linkeddit.com/mcp and authorize with your Linkeddit account.
- Confirm you're on the Compete plan — calls otherwise return not_entitled.
- On Compete the connector covers the full toolset, so you can remove the legacy server's headers. (Write tools like create_lead_pipeline need the leads:write / content:write scopes, which your client requests at authorize time.)
