Do I need a Reddit API key?

No. BuzzTake signs in to your Reddit account the way a person does, so there is no developer app, API key or app review.

Can my AI agent use Reddit through MCP?

Yes. Add the BuzzTake MCP server to Claude, Cursor or any MCP client. Each Reddit action is a tool, such as post, reply or send_message.

What does a Reddit action cost?

A post is 10 credits ($0.10), a reply 8, a like or a follow 3, and a read 4. One credit is one US cent.

Reddit API for AI agents

Connect your Reddit account once. Your agent posts, replies, likes and follows, and sends DMs through MCP or REST. No Reddit API key and no app review.

Automate Reddit with MCP

Ask in plain words. Your agent makes the call and gets the link back.

A text, link or media post with a `title`, in the subreddit named in `destination`.

MCP tool call

post

// You: "Post the changelog to our subreddit."
// The agent calls the post tool:
{
  "account_id": "acc_reddit",
  "title": "Version 2.4 changelog",
  "text": "What changed.",
  "destination": "r/acme_demo"
}

REST

POST /v1/accounts/acc_reddit/actions

curl https://api.buzztake.com/v1/accounts/acc_reddit/actions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $BUZZTAKE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"type":"post","title":"Version 2.4 changelog","text":"What changed.","destination":"r/acme_demo","wait":60}'
