02 · Evidence

Security posture

What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.

runs as local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions

repo age created 2026-07-20 - young repo, little track record yet

license MIT - declared in the repository

pypi package reddit-growth-mcp - check the name against the project README before installing (PyPI has no namespace ownership)

registry namespace io.github.latent-9 is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner

03 · What Reddit Growth MCP can do

Prose above is summarized from the project's README and registry record - no invented capabilities.

What you can build

An agent gets 9 documented tools spanning analyze, subreddits, draft, including analyze_post_patterns, analyze_acceptance, compare_subreddits, analyze_insight.

Capability map

Tools grouped from the project's README - what Reddit Growth MCP lets an agent do.

Analyze

4 tools - e.g. What performs in a sub: timing, media, title style, flair, keywords, by a configurable metric; Removal rate and what tends to get removed; official rules when credentials are present; Discussion depth…

analyze_post_patterns · analyze_acceptance · analyze_insight · analyze_subreddit

Evaluate

2 tools - e.g. Predict a draft's performance (0-100) and acceptance risk, with drivers and fixes; Score one draft across subs, ranked by size-fair fit (percentile) vs raw reach

evaluate_draft · evaluate_draft_across

Compare

1 tool - e.g. Rank subreddits by growth (typical reach + viral upside), with traffic (posts/day), discussion, removal risk, and a safety label; rank_by switches to viral/oppo

compare_subreddits

Growth

1 tool - e.g. One call: safest strong target, cross-post options, viral recipe, and best posting times

growth_plan

read & search

1 tool - e.g. Discover and rank subreddits for topics by estimated traffic

find_target_subreddits_tool

Limitations (from the README)

- Traffic figures are estimates. Reddit does not expose true daily visitor counts through its public API. - Findings are correlations from a sample, not Reddit's ranking algorithm and not a guarantee of performance. - AutoModerator configuration is private. Karma and account-age gates are inferred from rule text and require credentials to read.
