Reddit Scraper MCP server

MCP server for the Reddit Scraper Pro Apify Actor (also works with Reddit Scraper). Gives Claude, Cursor, Codex, Windsurf, ChatGPT and any other MCP client three tools for Reddit as structured JSON: keyword search, URL scraping with full comment threads, and bulk subreddit pulls. No Reddit API key, no login. Billed per result on Apify ($1.50 per 1,000 + $0.01 per run; the free plan covers small runs).

Two ways to connect. Both need an Apify token from https://console.apify.com/account/integrations.

Option A — remote (nothing to install)

Apify hosts the Actor as an MCP tool:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "reddit-scraper-pro": {
      "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=harshmaur/reddit-scraper-pro",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer <APIFY_TOKEN>" }
    }
  }
}

Stdio-only clients can bridge with npx mcp-remote https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=harshmaur/reddit-scraper-pro. This is the endpoint registered in the official MCP Registry as io.github.harshmaur/reddit-scraper-pro.

Option B — local stdio server (this repo)

Purpose-built tools with typed arguments, so the model fills in queries, subreddit, postedAfter instead of a raw Actor input object.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "reddit-scraper": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "reddit-scraper-mcp"],
      "env": { "APIFY_TOKEN": "<APIFY_TOKEN>" }
    }
  }
}

Published on npm as reddit-scraper-mcp. Or clone and run node index.js. Node 20+.

ToolUse it for
search_redditKeyword search across Reddit or one subreddit; sort, time window, date range, optional comments. Brand monitoring, lead discovery, "what is Reddit saying about X".
scrape_reddit_urlsPost permalinks (with the full thread), /user/<name>/ profiles, subreddit listing URLs, search-page URLs.
scrape_subredditBulk posts from one or more subreddits, optionally date-bounded and with comments.

APIFY_TOKENrequiredApify API token
REDDIT_SCRAPER_ACTORharshmaur/reddit-scraper-proSet to harshmaur/reddit-scraper to run the flagship listing instead

Every item carries dataType (post, comment, community, user); posts include title, body, postUrl, communityName, authorName, score, commentsCount, createdAt, flair. Field reference: https://apify.com/harshmaur/reddit-scraper-pro#output-example

Automation templates

  • templates/n8n/ — importable n8n workflows: Reddit mentions → Slack, Reddit lead alerts → Google Sheets.
  • templates/make/ — Make scenario recipe for Slack, Notion or Sheets.

The Actor can also deliver results itself (Slack, Notion, Airtable, Sheets) through its mcpConnector input, with an Apify Schedule as the trigger, if you prefer no middleware.

Files

  • index.js — the stdio server
  • server.json — official MCP Registry manifest for Pro; server-reddit-scraper.json — same for the flagship
  • Dockerfile, glama.json — for directory indexers
