Reddit MCP server & Claude connector

Does Reddit have an official MCP server or Claude connector?

Community only

As of October 2026, Reddit's only verified MCP is devvit-mcp, which helps developers build Devvit apps and cannot read or post Reddit content. For reading subreddits and posts, the options are community servers such as jordanburke/reddit-mcp-server, which can also post and delete, and the read-only reddit-mcp-buddy.
