Setup

1. Create a Reddit Ads API App

1. Go to ads.reddit.com
2. In the left sidebar, click Developer Applications (under your account/business settings)
3. Click Create a new app and fill in:

Reddit requires a public HTTPS redirect URI (localhost won't work). The URL above is a simple callback page maintained by the package author that displays the authorization code for you to copy — it does not store any data. You can use any HTTPS URL you control instead; just update the redirect URI in Steps 2–3 to match.

4. Click Create app
5. Copy your App ID and Secret — you'll need both in the next steps

2. Authorize the App

Open this URL in your browser, replacing YOUR_APP_ID with the App ID from Step 1:

https://www.reddit.com/api/v1/authorize?client_id=YOUR_APP_ID&response_type=code&state=mcp&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Fhurrah.dev%2Foauth%2Freddit&duration=permanent&scope=adsread

Click Allow. You'll be redirected to a page that displays your authorization code — click Copy.

3. Exchange the Code for a Refresh Token

Run this command, replacing the three placeholders with your App ID, Secret, and authorization code:

curl -X POST https://www.reddit.com/api/v1/access_token \
  -u "YOUR_APP_ID:YOUR_SECRET" \
  -A "ads-mcp/1.0" \
  -d "grant_type=authorization_code&code=YOUR_AUTHORIZATION_CODE&redirect_uri=https://hurrah.dev/oauth/reddit"

The redirect_uri must match exactly what you entered in Step 1.

The response JSON contains a refresh_token field. Save it — it's permanent until revoked.

4. Find Your Account ID

1. Go to ads.reddit.com and click All accounts (top-left dropdown)
2. Select your business on the left — your ad account appears on the right
3. The ac
