## 2. Quick Start

### 2.1. Using `uvx` (recommended)

The fastest way to run the server — no clone needed:

```bash
# stdio transport (default, for Claude Desktop / Cursor / etc.)
uvx reddit-no-auth-mcp-server

# HTTP transport
uvx reddit-no-auth-mcp-server \
  --transport streamable-http \
  --port 8000
```

### 2.2. From source

```bash
git clone https://github.com/eliasbiondo/reddit-mcp-server.git
cd reddit-mcp-server
uv sync
```

Run the server:

```bash
# stdio transport (default)
uv run reddit-no-auth-mcp-server

# HTTP transport
uv run reddit-no-auth-mcp-server \
  --transport streamable-http \
  --port 8000
```

### 2.3. MCP Client Configuration

#### Claude Desktop

Add to your `claude_desktop_config.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "reddit": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["reddit-no-auth-mcp-server"]
    }
  }
}
```

#### Cursor

Add to your `.cursor/mcp.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "reddit": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["reddit-no-auth-mcp-server"]
    }
  }
}
```

#### From source (any MCP client)

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "reddit": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": [
        "--directory", "/path/to/reddit-mcp-server",
        "run", "reddit-no-auth-mcp-server"
      ]

## 4. Configuration

All settings can be configured via environment variables:

|----------|---------|-------------|
| `REDDIT_TRANSPORT` | `stdio` | MCP transport (`stdio`, `streamable-http`) |
| `REDDIT_HOST` | `127.0.0.1` | Host for HTTP transport |
| `REDDIT_PORT` | `8000` | Port for HTTP transport |
| `REDDIT_PATH` | `/mcp` | Path for HTTP transport |
| `REDDIT_LOG_LEVEL` | `WARNING` | Log level (`DEBUG`, `INFO`, `WARNING`, `ERROR`) |

```
