## Why a hosted Reddit MCP server?

Most free Reddit MCP servers broke in 2026, when Reddit started returning `403` on the unauthenticated endpoints they relied on. Prowlo runs the whole pipeline for you — residential-proxy crawl, anti-bot, embeddings, and the MCP endpoint — so it keeps working. Connect once and your agent can **search, rank, and cite** Reddit (and X) over time, instead of taking a one-off peek that breaks next week.

- **Semantic search** over a persistent **Dataset** (vector embeddings) — find by meaning, not keyword regex
- **Clean typed JSON** — no HTML scraping, no Reddit API, no glue code
- **Read-only** — Prowlo never posts; your agent finds and ranks, you stay in the loop
- Delivery over **MCP + REST + webhooks**, plus Slack/email **Alerts**

## Connect in 30 seconds

### OAuth (recommended)
Add `https://api.prowlo.com/mcp` as a **custom connector** → **Connect** → sign in. No API key, no JSON, no restart.

### Config block (Claude Desktop / Cursor / Cline)
```json
{ "mcpServers": { "prowlo": { "url": "https://api.prowlo.com/mcp" } } }
```

### Claude Code
```bash
claude mcp add --transport http prowlo https://api.prowlo.com/mcp
```

### Clients without native HTTP MCP (stdio bridge)
```bash
npx mcp-remote https://api.prowlo.com/mcp
```
