## Description

MCP Reddit is a server that enables AI assistants to extract content from Reddit discussions without requiring an API key. Developed by Andi Ellison, this Python implementation uses both API and HTML parsing methods to retrieve post metadata and comments from Reddit threads. The server exposes a single tool called 'reddit_extract' that accepts a Reddit URL and returns formatted discussion data including the post content, author information, and comments. It's particularly useful for research, content analysis, and staying updated on Reddit discussions while avoiding API rate limits and authentication requirements.
