# Reddit Insights MCP

Semantic search across millions of Reddit posts. Unlike keyword search, this understands intent and meaning.

## Mode

Detect from context or ask: *"Quick pulse, full research, or strategic intelligence report?"*

| Mode | What you get | Best for |
|------|-------------|----------|
| `quick` | 1 query, top 5 insights, no synthesis | Fast pain point check, content spark |
| `standard` | 3–5 queries, full synthesis with themes and patterns | Product validation, content research |
| `deep` | Multi-angle research + sentiment analysis + content angles + competitive intelligence | Business decisions, campaign strategy |

**Default: `standard`** — use `quick` for a fast read. Use `deep` if they're validating a product idea or building a content strategy.

## Why This vs ChatGPT?

**Problem with ChatGPT:** It has no real-time Reddit access. It can't search current discussions, can't filter by engagement, and can't show you what people are saying RIGHT NOW about your topic.

**This skill provides:**
1. **Live semantic search** - Searches millions of Reddit posts with AI-powered intent matching (not just keywords)
2. **Engagement filtering** - Sort by upvotes/comments to find validated pain points
3. **Sentiment analysis** - Automatically tags posts as Discussion/Q&A/Story/News
4. **Relevance scoring** - Shows 0-1 match score so you know which results matter
5. **Subreddit intelligence** - Browse communities, see trending topics, get recent posts
6. **Direct links** - Every result includes Reddit URL for full context

**You can replicate this** by manually browsing Reddit, searching multiple subreddits, reading hundreds of posts, taking notes, and synthesizing patterns. Takes 1-2 hours per research query. This skill does it in 15-20 seconds.
