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 | 19 — Answer Radar (15) + Reddit (4) | 27 — Reddit, leads, keywords, subreddits, compete, content, outreach |
| Access | Requires the Answer Radar entitlement | Requires a paid membership (Pro) |
| Best for | AI-search visibility (Answer Radar) + Reddit signal | Lead-gen, keyword, competitor, and content tooling over MCP |
Which should I use?
Use the connector for new setups: it is keyless, and it is the only surface with Answer Radar. Use the legacy Reddit MCP if you rely on the lead-gen, keyword-research, competitive-intelligence, content-writer, or outreach tools, which are not on the connector today.
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 the Answer Radar entitlement is on your plan (calls otherwise return not_entitled).
- Keep the legacy server configured if you still use its lead/keyword/compete/content tools; otherwise remove its headers.
