This project provides MCP (Model Context Protocol) tools for interacting with Reddit through Claude and Cursor.

## Features

- Reading trending posts from subreddits
- Analyzing Reddit discussions with comments
- Creating posts on Reddit
- Adding comments to posts or replies to existing comments
- Voting on posts and comments

## Requirements

- Python 3.10+
- A Reddit account
- A registered Reddit application (to obtain client_id and client_secret)
- Virtual environment (venv or similar)
- Claude Desktop and/or Cursor (optional but recommended)

## Installation from Scratch

Follow these steps carefully to avoid import and configuration issues:

```bash
# 1. Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/your-username/mcp-reddit.git
cd mcp-reddit

# 2. Create and activate virtual environment
python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate

# 3. Install dependencies (WITHOUT installing the package in editable mode)
pip install -r requirements.txt

# 4. Configure environment variables (see below)
# Create and edit the .env file
```

> ⚠️ **IMPORTANT**: DO NOT install the package in editable mode (`pip install -e .`) 
> as it can cause module import problems.

## Environment Configuration

1. Create a `.env` file in the project root with the following variables:

```
REDDIT_CLIENT_ID=your_client_id
REDDIT_CLIENT_SECRET=your_client_secret
REDDIT_REFRESH_TOKEN=your_refresh_token
```

2. To obtain a refresh token, run:

```bash
python -m mcp_reddit.auth_helper
```

Follow the instructions to authorize the application. The token will be automatically saved to the `.env` file.
