What it does

Each search term runs across all of Reddit or inside each subreddit you list, sorted by new, relevance, top, most comments, or hot. By default a result is kept only when the search term is in the post's title or text, so loosely related results are dropped and not charged. Subreddits with no search term return their newest, hot, top, or rising posts. Thread URLs return the post and its top comments. Each query also returns one free summary row with its counts. Reddit is read through its public feeds; no Reddit account, login, or API key is used.

All of the work runs on Apify. This package is a thin client that starts the actor run, waits for it, and hands back the dataset rows.

Quick start

You need Node.js 18 or newer and an Apify account with an API token.

Add this to your Claude Desktop config (claude_desktop_config.json), Cursor, or any MCP client:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mamba-reddit-search-thread-scraper": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@mambalabsdev/mcp-reddit-search-thread-scraper"
      ],
      "env": {
        "APIFY_TOKEN": "your-apify-token"
      }
    }
  }
}

Restart the client. The search_reddit tool appears.

Prerequisites

• Node.js 18 or newer.
• An Apify API token from console.apify.com/account/integrations, set as APIFY_TOKEN. The server lists its tool without a token; a call needs one.

Example prompts

• "Find Reddit posts from the last week in r/sales and r/startups that mention cold email."
• "Pull the top comments from this Reddit thread into a table."
• "What are people on r/SaaS posting about this month?"
