Summary
Hooks Claude up to semantic search across millions of Reddit posts and subreddits. You get four tools: reddit_search for natural language queries like "what are developers saying about Rust async", reddit_get_subreddit for community details and stats, reddit_list_subreddits for browsing with filters, and reddit_get_trends for spotting what's hot across timeframes. Works out of the box via npx, though you can add a REDDIT_INSIGHTS_API_KEY for premium features. Useful when you need to surface real developer opinions, research niche communities, or track emerging topics without manually scrolling threads.
Keep your Mac awake while Claude Code and 40+ AI agents run. Sleeps when they're idle.
