Claude Code How to use Reddit with Claude Code
You want Reddit inside Claude Code so it can monitor a subreddit for relevant posts, research a Reddit discussion before responding, publish a prepared announcement, and respond to comments on my posts — without you copy-pasting between tabs. Here is the whole setup, once.
Create your Reddit gateway
The gateway is the thing Claude Code connects to, and it is where you decide which Reddit tools an agent may use. You create it once and every client reuses it.
-
Create an Arcade account
Sign up and open the dashboard. The free tier is enough to follow this through.
-
Create an MCP Gateway and select your Reddit tools
In the dashboard, create a gateway and pick the Reddit tools you want to expose. The gateway is what your client connects to, and it is where tool access is decided.
-
Copy your gateway URL
Every client below needs it.
https://api.arcade.dev/mcp/<YOUR-GATEWAY-SLUG>
Connect the gateway to Claude Code
-
Add the gateway as a remote HTTP MCP server
claude mcp add arcade --transport http "<YOUR_ARCADE_GATEWAY_URL>"
-
Verify it was added
claude mcp get arcade claude mcp list
-
Try it out
Open Claude Code in your project and ask it to use one of your Reddit tools.

Claude Code can now act on your Reddit account. Click a prompt to copy it.
Pair it with Contextual Access policies so an agent can read subreddit posts and rules while requiring approval before it comments, replies, or submits a post.
