Installation

Claude Desktop

Add to claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "reddit-monitor": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@ebenova/reddit-monitor-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "GROQ_API_KEY": "gsk_your_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Config file location:

• macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
• Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

Cursor

Add to .cursor/mcp.json in your project root:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "reddit-monitor": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@ebenova/reddit-monitor-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "GROQ_API_KEY": "gsk_your_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Environment Variables

| Variable | Required | Description | |----------|----------|-------------| | GROQ_API_KEY | No | Groq API key for AI reply drafts. Search works without it. Get one free at console.groq.com |

Example Prompts

Once connected, you can say things like:

• "Search Reddit for posts about freelance contracts in the last 12 hours"
• "Monitor keywords 'NDA template' and 'contract generator' — my product is Ebenova, a legal document API"
• "Generate a reply draft for this Reddit post about needing an NDA"
• "Is r/smallbusiness on the approved subreddit list?"
• "Find Reddit posts about cleaning business software and draft replies mentioning FieldOps"

How It Works

1. Search — Queries Reddit's public search API (and optionally Nairaland) for keyword matches
2. Filter — Checks posts against 80+ approved subreddits where brand mentions are appropriate
3. Draft — Uses Groq (Llama 3.3 70B) to generate casual, non-promotional reply drafts
4. Skip filter — AI automatically skips posts where mentioning a product would feel like spam

Approved Subreddits

The server includes 80+ pre-approved subreddits across categories:

• Business: freelance, smallbusiness, Entrepreneur, SaaS, startups
• Tech: webdev, ClaudeAI, CursorIDE, MachineLearning, datascience
• Services: cleaning, HVAC, recruiting, photography, eventplanning
• Africa: Nigeria, lagos, Kenya, Ghana, Africa
• Career: forhire, remotework, techjobs, cscareerquestions

Posts from non-approved subreddits are still returned in search results but won't get AI reply drafts.
