Social access for your AI agent.
Reddit, X, and more — clean and filtered, over MCP. Your agent already knows your product; now it can see what your market is saying, and act on it. Exa, but for social.
Works with Claude, Cursor & ClineExa, but for social →Animated demo: an AI agent scans hundreds of Reddit and X posts through Prowlo, keeps the few high-intent ones, runs a draft in a sandbox, and sends a Slack digest.

Ask in plain English. Claude composes Prowlo's tools, reasons over filtered, ranked Reddit data, and comes back with something you can use — not a pile of raw posts to triage. Pick a task to see the calls it fires.

Prowlo MCP vs. Generic Reddit MCP Servers
Both speak MCP. Only one filters and ranks first, so your agent gets signal it can reason over instead of a raw firehose.

|---|---|---|
| Hosted (no local process to run) | – | |
| Works in Claude, Cursor, Cline & Windsurf | Varies | |
| Semantic search (vector embeddings) | – | |
| Filtered & ranked, not a raw firehose | – | |
| Keyword tracking with backfill | – | |

An MCP server for every client
Prowlo is an MCP server for Claude, Claude Code, Cursor, Cline, Windsurf, and any MCP-spec client — a Reddit MCP server today, an X (Twitter) MCP server next, on the same typed schema and one API key. Hosted over streamable HTTP at api.prowlo.com/mcp. Open-source MIT client on GitHub.

Frequently asked questions
If you can't find what you're looking for, get in touch.
Prowlo's MCP server gives Claude, Cursor, Cline, and any MCP-speaking client structured access to Reddit — filtered and ranked, not a raw firehose. Each call returns typed JSON with semantic relevance scores and cursor pagination — no raw HTML, no scraping, no Reddit API credentials. Hosted over streamable HTTP at https://api.prowlo.com/mcp. X support is rolling out next.
For Claude Desktop, Cursor, or Cline: generate an API key in your Prowlo settings and paste a small JSON config block pointing at https://api.prowlo.com/mcp with an Authorization: Bearer header. Restart your client and ask 'What is r/MachineLearning saying about vector databases this week?' to confirm the connection. The free tier includes MCP access.
No — and that's the point. Direct Reddit MCP servers expose the full Reddit API, which means Claude searches blindly and hits commercial rate limits ($0.24 per 1,000 calls). The Prowlo MCP exposes the Public Curated Dataset + your private Watchers, indexed for semantic search, served from our residential-proxy crawl. Claude reasons over clean structured records, not the firehose.
Dataset: search_dataset (semantic), list_records, get_record, get_dataset_summary. Live Reddit: reddit_search, reddit_get_post, reddit_get_subreddit, reddit_get_user, reddit_get_comments, reddit_list_posts. Your setup: list_watchers, get_product_profile, keyword_list/create/update/delete, trend_list/get, alert_list. All read-only for Reddit content. X tools are on the roadmap.
Yes. The MCP server is included on the free tier — 2,500 Dataset queries every month, MCP access included, no card on file. Paid plans add private Watchers, higher query limits, and live-passthrough quotas, but the MCP itself is permanently free.
No. The v1 MCP is read-only. We deliberately do not expose write tools (post, comment, vote, DM) — the compliance risk is real and there's no clear customer pull yet. If you need to draft a reply, your agent generates the text; you do the posting from your own Reddit account.
Community servers (mcp-server-reddit by Hawstein, reddit-mcp-buddy, etc.) wrap the public Reddit API and hand Claude a search box. Useful for casual research, but they break under load because they hit Reddit's commercial rate caps. Prowlo crawls through residential proxies (no API quota) and embeds every record for semantic search, so the agent gets ranked signal instead of a firehose. X support is rolling out on the same schema.
Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Cline, Windsurf, and any client that speaks stdio or streamable HTTP MCP. We maintain dedicated setup snippets for each. The npm package is @prowlo/mcp (MIT-licensed) and the source code is on GitHub at github.com/prowlo-com/reddit-mcp.
