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.

	Other Reddit MCPs	reddirect
API keys	Required	Not needed
App registration	Required	Not needed
OAuth setup	Required	Not needed
Password stored	In config file	Never stored
Install time	10+ minutes	30 seconds

---

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.

How It Works

┌─────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│              MCP Client                      │
│          (Any MCP Client)                    │
└──────────────────┬──────────────────────────┘
                   │ stdio
┌──────────────────▼──────────────────────────┐
│              reddirect                       │
│                                              │
│  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)

---

Troubleshooting

Problem	Fix
Writes say "authentication required"	Run the authorize tool
Chrome window doesn't appear	Make sure Google Chrome is installed
"Server error" during login	Reddit rate limit — wait 10 minutes
Session expired	Run authorize again (~24hr sessions)
Want to reset session	Delete ~/.reddirect/session.json
