How It Works

User → MCP Client (Claude/Cursor) → MCP Server → Reddit API + DeepSeek AI
                                                         ↓
                                              Analysis & Content Generation

The server uses PRAW (Python Reddit API Wrapper) for Reddit data retrieval and DeepSeek's AI for intelligent analysis, content generation, and strategy recommendations.

Tech Stack

• MCP Protocol — Anthropic's Model Context Protocol
• PRAW — Python Reddit API Wrapper
• DeepSeek AI — Cost-effective LLM for analysis (OpenAI-compatible API)
• httpx — Async HTTP client
• Python 3.10+

Why DeepSeek instead of OpenAI?

DeepSeek API is 10-20x cheaper than OpenAI GPT-4 while delivering comparable quality for analysis tasks. Perfect for high-volume Reddit monitoring.
