Legacy Reddit MCP (API key)

Quickstart

Connect an AI assistant to the legacy Reddit MCP server in three steps.

Three steps to connect

  1. Generate credentials at /mcp/keys (requires a paid membership). Copy your Client ID and Client Secret; the secret is shown only once.
  2. Add the legacy MCP server to your client using the endpoint and your credentials (see the connection guides).
  3. Ask your assistant to call a tool, e.g. 'Search Reddit for people asking about CRM tools this week.'

Example client config

Most clients accept an HTTP MCP server entry like this:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "linkeddit": {
      "url": "https://linkeddit.com/api/mcp/reddit/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "X-Client-Id": "lnkd_...",
        "X-Client-Secret": "lnkd_sec_..."
      }
    }
  }
}json
