2. Quick Start
2.1. Using uvx (recommended)
The fastest way to run the server — no clone needed:
# stdio transport (default, for Claude Desktop / Cursor / etc.)
uvx reddit-no-auth-mcp-server
# HTTP transport
uvx reddit-no-auth-mcp-server \
--transport streamable-http \
--port 8000
2.2. From source
git clone https://github.com/eliasbiondo/reddit-mcp-server.git
cd reddit-mcp-server
uv sync
Run the server:
# stdio transport (default)
uv run reddit-no-auth-mcp-server
# HTTP transport
uv run reddit-no-auth-mcp-server \
--transport streamable-http \
--port 8000
2.3. MCP Client Configuration
Claude Desktop
Add to your claude_desktop_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"reddit": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["reddit-no-auth-mcp-server"]

}
}
Cursor
Add to your .cursor/mcp.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"reddit": {
"command": "uvx",
