Reddit Research

Dialog is an MCP server that provides AI-powered Reddit research capabilities for competitive analysis, market research, and customer discovery. It indexes thousands of subreddits and enables you to explore sentiment, extract evidence with citations, and manage ongoing research feeds without handling Reddit credentials directly.

How to use

Connect to the Dialog MCP server from your MCP client to start researching Reddit discussions. You can discover subreddits, search posts, fetch posts and comments, and manage saved feeds for ongoing monitoring. Use plain, natural-language prompts to generate evidence-based reports with links to original Reddit posts, upvotes, and awards.

How to install

Prerequisites: ensure you have Python 3.11+ or a compatible runtime, and a compatible MCP client installed on your system.

Install or prepare your MCP client and then add the Dialog MCP server using its remote URL. You can use any of the following example commands with your MCP client to connect to the server.
