    An MCP Server for Your Reddit Saves

    MCP is how AI assistants get hands. readdit-later-mcp gives them your Reddit library — search, organize, and export from any MCP client.

    What Is an MCP Server?

    MCP — Model Context Protocol — is the open standard that lets AI assistants use external tools and data sources. An MCP server exposes a set of capabilities (search this, modify that) which any compatible client — Claude, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, and a fast-growing list of others — can discover and call mid-conversation. Instead of copy-pasting context into a chat window, you give the assistant a standing connection to the real source. Readdit Later provides exactly that for a source most people never think to connect: your Reddit saved posts and comments.

    Why Reddit Saves Are Ideal MCP Material

    Saved Reddit content is pre-curated, personal knowledge — threads you judged worth keeping, on the topics you care about. That makes it dramatically better grounding material than the open internet: when your assistant answers from your saves, it answers from sources you already vetted. The catch has always been access — Reddit's saved list has no API an assistant can usefully consume, no search, and a 1,000-item listing cap. Readdit Later solves the access problem first (continuous sync, saved-page capture, auto-categorization) and then hands the organized result to your AI tools over MCP.

    Two Ways to Connect

    1

    Local: npx readdit-later-mcp

    One command adds the server to any MCP client — Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, or anything else that speaks the protocol. The local server runs entirely on your machine and grants full library control: search, label, organize collections, add notes, delete, and export to CSV or Markdown.

    Remote: Personal Connector for Claude

    For Claude specifically, a remote connector is available: add your personal connector in Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector and your saves become available in Claude conversations on web, desktop, and mobile. The remote mode focuses on retrieval — search by meaning, library stats, unread saves, and your notes. It is opt-in, secured by a private token, and auto-expires after 30 days of inactivity.

    Prerequisite: A Synced Library

    Both modes serve whatever Readdit Later has synced — install the extension from the Chrome Web Store (https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/jdceogapnjfcfdklbpnllbmnjbfmfejk), connect Reddit, and the library builds itself. MCP support is part of the Pro and Lifetime plans.

    What It Looks Like in Practice

    "Search my Reddit saves for salary negotiation threads and summarize them." "Label all my untagged programming posts." "Export my self-hosting collection to Markdown." "What did I save this month that I haven't read?" Each of these is a single sentence to your assistant, executed against your real library — the same actions the built-in AI chat agent performs, now available in whichever AI tool you already live in.

    Local vs. Remote at a Glance

    Local (npx readdit-later-mcp): any MCP client, full read-write control, runs entirely on your machine, nothing leaves it. Remote (Claude connector): retrieval-focused, works on mobile, opt-in with a private token and 30-day inactivity auto-expiry. Many users run both — local in the editor for management, remote on the phone for recall.
