Reddit (JSON API)

*://*.reddit.com/*

Read and write Reddit via its own JSON API: list subreddit posts, read threads, search, comment, and vote — executed as the logged-in user. Tier-1 API execution (no DOM selectors).

by webmcp-cafe · v1 · updated 7/28/2026

What changed in v1: `returns` projections are JMESPath, `extract`/`errorPath` are locator arrays, `sendAs` is {in, name}, and the modhash source caches for 300s instead of re-fetching before every write.

Checking for the extension…

Installing saves v1 in your browser — nothing is tied to your account. The extension registers its tools whenever you're on a matching page, and you stay on v1 until you update.
