Prerequisites

Before you start, make sure you have the following:

An Apify account

Apify API Token

Get your personal API token from the Integrations section in Apify Console. This token will be used to authorize the MCP server to run Actors on your behalf.

MCP client

An AI agent or client that supports MCP. This could be Anthropic Claude for Desktop, a VS Code extension with MCP support, Apify’s web-based Tester MCP Client, or any custom client implementation. You can also check supported MCP clients in official documentation.

How to set up Reddit MCP server

If you have an MCP client that supports streamable HTTP, connect using OAuth authentication by providing Reddit MCP server URL you can find below. You'll be redirected to your browser to sign in to your Apify account and approve the connection.

2 "mcpServers": {
3   "apify": {
4     "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?actors=trudax/reddit-scraper"
5   }
6 }
7}

Check documentation

If you don't have an MCP client that supports streamable HTTP, you can still set up Apify's Reddit MCP server. For Claude for Desktop, enable MCP servers via the Developer settings. Then, you need to add an entry for the Apify MCP server. For instance, in Claude’s config file, under mcpServers, add an entry like:

{
    "mcpServers": {
      "actors-mcp-server": {
        "command": "npx",
        "args": [
          "-y", "@apify/actors-mcp-server",
          "--actors", "trudax/reddit-scraper"
        ],
        "env": {
           "APIFY_TOKEN": "YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN"
        }
      }
    }
   }
