Question 1

What is the Linkeddit Reddit MCP server?

Accepted Answer

Linkeddit's Reddit MCP server exposes 9 Reddit and lead-research tools (search_reddit, fetch_subreddit, fetch_post_comments, fetch_reddit_json, search_leads, get_user_profile, get_user_posts, get_user_comments, get_lead_insights) over the Model Context Protocol so AI assistants like Claude, Cursor, VS Code, and Windsurf can search Reddit, analyze users, and query your leads database directly from chat.

Question 2

Which AI clients support the Linkeddit MCP server?

Accepted Answer

Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Claude.ai connectors (OAuth), Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, ChatGPT, and any MCP-compatible client. HTTP transport is supported natively; clients without HTTP support use the npx mcp-remote bridge.

Question 3

How do I authenticate with the Reddit MCP server?

Accepted Answer

Pro members generate an X-Client-Id and X-Client-Secret pair from /mcp/keys. The endpoint URL is https://linkeddit.com/api/mcp/reddit/mcp. Claude.ai connectors use the OAuth 2.1 authorization code flow with PKCE instead of API keys.

Question 4

What are the rate limits on the Reddit MCP server?

Accepted Answer

Pro members get 1,000 requests per day and 30 requests per minute per client. Each tool call counts as one request. Limits reset daily at 00:00 UTC.

Question 5

Is the Linkeddit MCP server free to use?

Accepted Answer

MCP access is included with the Linkeddit Pro plan ($49/month) and the Lifetime Deal. There is no separate MCP add-on charge.

Question 6

What can I do with the Reddit MCP server?

Accepted Answer

Search Reddit for buying-intent posts, monitor subreddits for competitor mentions, query your saved leads, pull a Reddit user's full profile and AI insights, and draft contextual replies — all from inside Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client without leaving your AI workflow.
