Why reddirect?

Every other Reddit MCP server requires you to register an app, get API keys, and configure OAuth. reddirect doesn't. It uses Reddit's public OAuth for reads and a one-time browser login for writes — zero setup friction.

Quick Start

1. Install

npm install -g reddirect

2. Add to your MCP client

Add to your MCP client configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "reddirect": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "reddirect"]
    }
  }
}

3. Use it

Reads work immediately — browse subreddits, search posts, check profiles.

For writes, run the authorize tool once. A Chrome window opens, you log into Reddit, and it closes automatically. That's it.

│                                              │
│  Reads ──► Anonymous OAuth ──► reddit API    │
│  Writes ─► User token (JWT) ──► reddit API   │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────┘

Reads use Reddit's public installed_client OAuth grant — no credentials needed.

Writes use a token_v2 JWT extracted from a one-time Chrome login via the DevTools Protocol. No passwords are stored. The token lasts ~24 hours.

Requirements

• Node.js 18+
• Google Chrome — only needed once for the authorize step (not needed for reads)
