Read advertising performance
Query Reddit Ads reports and compare campaign spend, traffic, and available conversion metrics. Normalized output converts native reporting units into account-currency values.
Reddit Ads MCP server
Your Reddit Ads.
In your AI agent.
Connect Reddit advertising accounts to your agent for campaign reporting and controlled changes. Keep Ads API permissions, campaign objectives, and budget semantics visible as you work.
Available locally with npm. Set up Reddit Ads
Built for this platform
What you can do with Reddit Ads MCP
Inspect campaign budget optimization
Review campaign objectives, configured and effective statuses, and CBO budget settings. Check the funding instrument and conversion requirements before planning a new campaign.
Separate read access from write access
Prepare a paused campaign or preview a CBO budget change. Reddit can require additional access for mutations even when account discovery and reporting already work.
Know what the data means
This is a Reddit advertising connector, not a tool for posting comments, scraping communities, or managing organic Reddit accounts. Campaign CBO budgets and report values have different native units, which Adport handles explicitly.
Local setup · Bring your own credentials
Prefer local setup for Reddit Ads?
The npm CLI and MCP server run on your machine. You need Node.js 22.13 or newer, your own provider credentials, and permission to access the ad account.
01 Install Adport
npm install -g adport02 Connect Reddit Ads
adport connect redditThe wizard uses your web app’s OAuth credentials and requests a persistent grant. Verify account access after signing in; a working token alone does not guarantee permission to edit campaigns.
03 Check your connection
adport doctor
adport accounts --provider redditCheck that the intended account appears before asking your agent to report on it. Never paste tokens, client secrets, or private keys into chat.
Register a local stdio client
For Claude Code:
claude mcp add --transport stdio adport -- adport mcpFor Cursor, merge this entry into your MCP configuration:
{
"mcpServers": {
"adport": {
"command": "adport",
"args": [
"mcp"
]
}
}
}ChatGPT uses an HTTP MCP endpoint instead of launching this local process.
Your tools. Your choice.
Use Reddit Ads from your agent.
Use the same Adport MCP endpoint and OAuth sign-in in each client. First connect your ad accounts in your Adport workspace. No platform secrets belong in chat.
Use Reddit Ads in ChatGPT
Enable developer mode, then open Settings → Apps → Create. Choose OAuth and use the endpoint below.
https://app.adport.dev/mcpScan the tools, finish Adport authorization, and enable the new app in your chat.
Developer mode and custom apps must be enabled for your ChatGPT account or workspace. In newer layouts, enable Developer mode under Settings → Security and login, then use the + button in Plugins to create your app. ChatGPT connects over HTTP; the local stdio command is for clients that can launch a process.
Use Reddit Ads in Codex
Run this command once and complete the browser authorization. Codex stores the MCP configuration and starts OAuth automatically.
codex mcp add adport --url https://app.adport.dev/mcpOnly if authorization did not start or you need to sign in again, run “codex mcp login adport”. Otherwise, check “codex mcp list” and ask Codex to list your ad accounts.
Use Reddit Ads in Claude Code
Add Adport at user scope so it is available across your local projects.
claude mcp add --transport http --scope user adport https://app.adport.dev/mcpRun /mcp inside Claude Code if the browser authorization does not open automatically.
Use Reddit Ads in Claude
Open Customize → Connectors → Add custom connector. Name it Adport and use the endpoint below.
https://app.adport.dev/mcpSelect Connect, approve the workspace, then enable Adport from the + menu in a conversation.
Use Reddit Ads in Cursor
Add this server to ~/.cursor/mcp.json, then restart Cursor.
{
"mcpServers": {
"adport": {
"url": "https://app.adport.dev/mcp"
}
}
}Approve the browser sign-in when prompted. Cursor will keep the OAuth session refreshed.
Use Reddit Ads in VS Code
Open the Command Palette and choose “MCP: Open User Configuration”, then add this server.
{
"servers": {
"adport": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://app.adport.dev/mcp"
}
}
}Start the Adport server from VS Code and complete the browser authorization.
Use the MCP URL from Agent access if you run your own Adport deployment. Client settings, workspace permissions, and advertising-platform approvals still apply. The Cloud waitlist below is separate from these connection instructions.
You stay in control
A suggestion is not a live change.
The first mutation call returns a preview and a short-lived pending-operation token. Applying requires that token and the same arguments. Budget caps and protected accounts are checked by the policy engine; new campaigns are paused by policy.
Local operations are recorded in an append-only audit log. An approved preview is not a guarantee of provider acceptance, and a connected agent does not grant additional account permissions.
Reddit Ads MCP questions
Does Reddit OAuth access guarantee I can edit ads?
No. Read access and create, edit, or delete permissions are separate. Adport’s approval gate cannot grant Reddit permissions that your app or advertiser account does not have.
Can I use Reddit Ads locally without Adport Cloud?
Yes. Install Adport from npm, connect your own Reddit Ads credentials, and register the local MCP server with a stdio-compatible agent such as Claude Code or Cursor. Your provider may have its own approval, access, or billing requirements.
Why can I connect an account but not read a report or apply a change?
Account discovery, reporting, and mutations can require different permissions. Check the requested account, provider app scopes, advertiser eligibility, and environment. Start with adport doctor and the connection guide above. Do not bypass a denied operation by sharing secrets with the agent.
