# Reddit Data Collection Plan

## Status: Browser MCP Tools Not Available

**Issue Identified:** Browser MCP automation tools (`mcp__browsermcp__*`) are not currently accessible through the available function set.

## Alternative Approaches

### Option 1: Manual Browser MCP Setup
- Verify Browser MCP extension is properly connected
- Check MCP server configuration in Claude Desktop
- Restart Claude Desktop if needed to refresh available tools

### Option 2: Direct Content Extraction
- User manually copies content from Reddit URLs
- Paste content for structured analysis and note creation
- Process each URL individually for comprehensive coverage

### Option 3: WebFetch Retry
- Test if Reddit domain restrictions have been updated
- Try accessing Reddit URLs through WebFetch tool
- May work for some URLs even if others are blocked

## Target Reddit URLs for Processing

## Next Steps

1. **Resolve Browser MCP access** - highest priority
2. **If Browser MCP unavailable:** Switch to manual content extraction
3. **Process all 7 URLs** systematically
4. **Create structured note files** for each Reddit post
5. **Integrate findings** into main research document

## Fallback Strategy

If Browser MCP remains unavailable:
- User navigates to each URL manually
- Copy/paste content for analysis
- Process into structured format
- Still achievable but requires manual effort
