What is reddit-mcp-post?

A drafting tool for creating self-posts for r/mcp, a Reddit community focused on the Model Context Protocol used to connect AI assistants with tools and data. It prepares the post in Markdown and can copy the body to the macOS clipboard.

Use it to draft Show & Tell, discussion, or help posts about MCP projects, including technical details such as clients, transports, repository links, and tested integrations.

It turns project details into a post with the title, optional flair, and body separated correctly. This avoids manually formatting the post and copying its parts into Reddit.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00155	$0.01203
Opus 5.5	$0.00062	$0.00481
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00031	$0.00241
Haiku 4.5	$0.00015	$0.00120

Measured 2mo ago against content hash ad85b908b33c, method: parsed. Prices are Anthropic first-party input rates as of 2026-10-07, from the pricing page.

Security

Grade A, and why

reddit-mcp-post scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/copy.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 66 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

r/mcp Post

r/mcp is the subreddit for the Model Context Protocol — readers are agent developers, tool builders, and integrators who care about MCP servers, clients, and spec details. Reddit's post composer accepts markdown directly, so the script just splits the YAML frontmatter from the body and pipes the body to pbcopy.

Quick start

Gather from the user: project / topic, key technical points, repo URL, which MCP clients have been tested (Claude Desktop, Cline, Continue, Cursor, Zed, etc.), transport (stdio / Streamable HTTP / SSE), and post type (Show & Tell vs Discussion / Help).
Pick a template — templates/show-and-tell.md.tmpl for project announcements, templates/discussion.md.tmpl for spec / design questions or troubleshooting.
Draft to /tmp/reddit-mcp-post.md. Frontmatter must include title:; optionally flair:.
Run bash .claude/skills/reddit-mcp-post/scripts/copy.sh /tmp/reddit-mcp-post.md — body markdown lands on the clipboard; title and flair print to stderr.
Tell the user to paste the title into Reddit's title field, select the flair from the dropdown, switch the editor to Markdown mode, and paste the body.

Post shape

Mode	Word target	Use for
Show & Tell	200–600 words	"I built an MCP server / client for X"
Discussion / Help	100–400 words	Spec questions, transport debugging, design opinions

Always include: which MCP client(s) you tested with, which transport, which spec version (2024-11-05 / 2025-03-26 / 2025-06-18). r/mcp readers ask these in the comments anyway — pre-empt them.

Frontmatter format

---
title: "Show & Tell: file-search-on — content-type-aware file search as an MCP server"
flair: Show & Tell
---

title: is required. Keep under 300 chars (Reddit's hard cap); under ~120 chars reads better in the feed.
flair: is optional. Common r/mcp flairs include Show & Tell / Showcase, Discussion, Question / Help, Tutorial, News, Server, Client.
Quote the title (handles colons cleanly).

What ships with it

4 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
