Available components
How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically from public evidence about the published package, including repeated runs of it in an isolated sandbox, and we only credit what we can confirm. How we score → Why this is hard to score →
Supply Chain Security50
- Malware scan not yet available for this package.Unverified
- No known CVEs affecting this package version or its production dependencies.Pass
- Runs hatchling.build at install time, a recognised native-build step with no shell scripting around it. View diagnostics → Pass
- 1 of 32 dependencies flagged as unhealthy. View diagnostics → Partial
Provenance & Transparency32
- Source repository is publicly reachable at the declared URL. View diagnostics → Pass
- Provenance check failed: no build-provenance attestation is published. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- License check failed: the license (MIT License) isn't a recognized OSI-approved license. See how to fix → Fail

- Disclosure check failed: no security disclosure policy was found in the source repository. See how to fix → Fail
Schema Quality & AI Usability68
- AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 695 tokens (~173/item across 4 items; 4 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management57
- Stability observed for 17 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage67
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 0% of tool parameters carry a description.Fail
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 4 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass

Capabilities100
- Implements a current MCP spec version (2026-07-28).Pass
How do I install the Reddit (RSS) MCP server?
Reddit (RSS) runs locally as a PyPI package, launched with uvx reddit-rss-mcp. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →
browse_subreddit ~185
Read what a subreddit is posting right now, to see a community's live activity. Use this when the question is about what people in a specific community are currently saying or doing, or when a post is too recent for Reddit's search index to have caught it yet (search lags; "new" here does not). Scores, upvote ratios, and comment counts are not available. Args: subreddit: Subreddit name, with or without the "r/" prefix. sort: One of hot, new, top, rising, controversial. time_filter: For top/controversial — hour, day, week, month, year, all. limit: Number of posts (1-100).
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| limit | integer | – | – |
| sort | string | – | – |
| subreddit | string | yes | – |
| time_filter | string | – | – |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
fetch_json ~137
Read a Reddit feed the other tools do not cover: a user, multireddit, or domain. Use this only for Reddit URLs outside the usual shapes, such as /user/<name>, /r/<a>+<b>, or /domain/<site>. For browsing a subreddit, searching, or reading a thread, use browse_subreddit, search_reddit, or get_post instead. This is not a general web fetcher. URLs on other hosts are refused unless the operator sets REDDIT_MCP_ALLOW_ANY_URL=1. Args: url: A reddit.com URL.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| url | string | yes | – |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_post ~158
Read one Reddit thread in full: the original post plus its comments. Use this after a search or a browse turns up a promising thread and you need what people actually wrote in it, the details, caveats, corrections, and disagreements that a title alone never carries. Comments come back as a flat list (the reply tree is not available), and neither are scores or vote counts. Args: url: A Reddit post URL or permalink (e.g. https://www.reddit.com/r/python/comments/abc123/title/ or /r/python/comments/abc123/title/). comment_limit: Max comments to return.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| comment_limit | integer | – | – |
| url | string | yes | – |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
search_reddit ~215
Search Reddit discussions for real user opinions and experiences on a topic. Use this when the answer depends on what people who actually used or did the thing report: hands-on impressions, "is X worth it", failure stories, workarounds, recommendations, or where a community currently stands. Returns matching posts and their text; follow up with get_post to read the comments. Reddit's own search covers post titles and bodies, not comment text, so no results means Reddit did not surface it, not that nobody posted it. Args: query: Search terms. subreddit: Restrict to this subreddit (with or without "r/"). sort: relevance, hot, top, new, comments. time_filter: hour, day, week, month, year, all. limit: Number of results (1-100).
| Name | Type | Req | Description |

| limit | integer | – | – |
| query | string | yes | – |
| sort | string | – | – |
| subreddit | – | – | – |
| time_filter | string | – | – |
