README

mcp-reddit-ads

MCP server for Reddit Ads API v3 -- campaign management, ad creation, performance reporting, and audience targeting via Claude.

Features

18 tools covering full CRUD for campaigns, ad groups, and ads
Performance reports with daily breakdowns
Subreddit, interest, and geographic targeting
Bulk pause/enable operations
Safe by default: all new entities created in PAUSED status
Budget inputs in dollars (auto-converts to Reddit's microcurrency format)

Installation

npm install mcp-reddit-ads

Or clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/mharnett/mcp-reddit-ads.git
cd mcp-reddit-ads
npm install
npm run build

Configuration

Security: Never share your .mcp.json file or commit it to git -- it may contain API credentials. Add .mcp.json to your .gitignore.

1. Reddit OAuth App

Create a Reddit OAuth app at reddit.com/prefs/apps:

Select "script" type
Note the client ID and client secret
Obtain a refresh token with adsread adsedit read scopes

2. Environment Variables

Set credentials via environment variables:

Variable	Description
`REDDIT_CLIENT_ID`	OAuth app client ID
`REDDIT_CLIENT_SECRET`	OAuth app client secret
`REDDIT_REFRESH_TOKEN`	OAuth refresh token with ads scopes
`REDDIT_ADS_MCP_WRITE`	Set to `true` to enable mutating tools (create/update/pause/enable). Unset = read-only (default).

Read-only by default

As of v1.1.0 the MCP starts in read-only mode. The 10 read/report/targeting tools are always exposed, but the 8 mutating tools (create/update campaigns, ad groups, ads, and bulk pause/enable) are hidden from the tool list and refused at call time unless REDDIT_ADS_MCP_WRITE=true is set in the server's environment. This guards against a casual chat message accidentally mutating live ad spend. Enable writes deliberately, for the sessions where you actually intend to ship changes.

3. Config File

Copy config.example.json to config.json and fill in defaults:

{
  "reddit_api": {
    "base_url": "https://ads-api.reddit.com/api/v3",
    "auth": {
      "client_id": "",
      "client_secret": "",
      "refresh_token": "",
      "user_agent": "reddit-ad-mcp/1.0"
    }
  },
  "defaults": {
    "account_id": "",
    "business_id": "",
    "report_metrics": ["impressions", "clicks", "spend", "ctr", "cpc", "ecpm"],
    "date_range_days": 7
  }
}

Environment variables take precedence over config file values.

Usage

Claude Code (.mcp.json)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "reddit-ads": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/mcp-reddit-ads/dist/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "REDDIT_CLIENT_ID": "$(security find-generic-password -a reddit-ads-mcp -s REDDIT_CLIENT_ID -w)",
        "REDDIT_CLIENT_SECRET": "$(security find-generic-password -a reddit-ads-mcp -s REDDIT_CLIENT_SECRET -w)",

    }
  }
}
