ThreadFox Lite MCP server

ThreadFox Lite

Free, read-only Reddit tools for Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Codex and any MCP client, plus a reddit-rules-first agent skill.

• subreddit_rules: a subreddit's rules, size and description, with the self-promotion rules flagged. Call it before writing a post.
• find_communities: subreddits about a topic ("bakery marketing", "indie games"), each with its self-promotion rules flagged and whether it mentions a promo thread.
• account_check: a Reddit account's age, karma and standing, and whether its recent posts are removed or hidden from search (the practical sign of a spam filter or shadowban).
• post_status: whether a post is still live, removed by moderators or deleted, with score and comments. Check at 1, 6 and 24 hours.
• threadfoxfullkit: what the full ThreadFox kit adds (finding conversations where people ask for what you sell, posting from your own Chrome, replies, an outcome ledger, a 12-module course).

Reads only, through your own signed-in Chrome. Reddit now sends every signed-out request, including its public JSON, to a login page, so ThreadFox Lite reads the way you do: in your Chrome, signed in as you, one small read at a time. It never posts, votes or changes anything, and needs no Reddit API keys. One-time setup: Node.js and Microsoft's Playwright Extension in the Chrome where you are signed in to Reddit. The first read asks you to pick a tab in Chrome.

Install

Claude Code plugin (the tools and the skill together):

/plugin marketplace add amflimited/threadfox-lite /plugin install threadfox-lite@threadfox

Claude Code, the MCP server only:

claude mcp add threadfox-lite -- uvx threadfox-lite

Claude Desktop: download the .mcpb file from the latest release and open it (Settings > Extensions). It needs uv on your machine.

Codex (~/.codex/config.toml):

[mcp_servers.threadfox-lite] command = "uvx" args = ["threadfox-lite"]

Any other MCP client: run uvx threadfox-lite (the package is on PyPI).
