MCP Server Reddit

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides access to Reddit's public API through streamable HTTP transport, enabling remote deployment on cloud platforms.

Remote Deployment

Deploy on Alpic.ai

This MCP server is designed for remote deployment on Alpic.ai, a French-based MCP cloud service that recently raised $6 million USD to support their Go-To-Market strategy.

Alpic.ai provides managed hosting for MCP servers with:

• Streamable HTTP transport support (built-in)
• Automatic scaling and load balancing
• Built-in monitoring and observability
• Enterprise-grade security and compliance

How to Deploy

1. Visit Alpic.ai
2. Connect your GitHub repository: laurentknauss/mcp-server-reddit-nodejs
