Reddit Ads MCP

The Reddit Ads MCP server for Claude and ChatGPT.

Connect Reddit Ads to the AI you already use. Ask where the money went, subreddit by subreddit, find the communities and keywords to target next, and get changes ready that you approve before anything touches the account.

Sign in with Reddit, no developer app to set up, encrypted platform tokens, and a preview before every change.

What your AI can do once Reddit Ads is connected.

Nine tools and 18 kinds of change give your AI the reports, the targeting research and the account detail to answer Reddit questions from live data. No exports, no CSVs, no clicking six levels deep to find one number.

Reporting

Twenty report types, one question.

Account, campaign, ad group and ad, daily and hourly, plus community, keyword, interest, location, placement, device, gender, language, carousel card, video and conversions. Compare any of them with the period before.

Communities

See where the money went, subreddit by subreddit.

The community report breaks spend and delivery down by subreddit and can split it by campaign. The placement report puts the feed next to conversation pages.

Targeting research

Find the communities before you spend.

Search subreddits, or get Reddit's suggestions from a few topics or your landing page URL. Keyword ideas come with monthly views, and interests, locations, languages, devices and third-party audiences are all there to look up.

Estimates

Size it up before the budget goes live.

Audience and delivery estimates for the targeting and budget you're planning, and Reddit's suggested bid range, before a single ad runs.

Brand safety

Keep your ads away from the wrong threads.

Check which keywords pass Reddit's brand-safety rules, then exclude communities and keywords across the whole account in one previewed change.

Diagnosis

Find out why an ad isn't running.

One tool checks account approval, billing, rejected ads with Reddit's reason, and conversion goals whose pixel event hasn't fired in 7 days. Every finding comes with the next step.

Build campaigns

Campaigns, ad groups, posts and ads from the chat.

Text, image, video and carousel posts, image and video uploads, targeting added or removed, and up to 50 steps in one previewed batch. New campaigns, ad groups and ads start paused.

Audiences and conversions

Customer lists, retargeting and the Conversions API.

Build customer-list, retargeting and saved audiences, and send conversion events through Reddit's Conversions API. Pixels, lead forms and product catalogues are there to read.

Audit trail

Every change on record for the day a client asks.

Every tool call is logged with user, account, action, outcome and timestamp, and your AI can read Reddit's own change history too.

How it works

Connect Reddit Ads in three steps.

  1. 01

    Connect Reddit Ads

    In AdPlug, open Connections and click Connect Reddit Ads. Approve Reddit's consent screen and you're back in AdPlug.

  2. 02

    Add AdPlug to your AI

    Paste https://api.adplug.app/mcp/reddit-ads into Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any other MCP client. AdPlug's all-platforms URL covers Reddit too.

  3. 03

    Ask about your account

    Start with a read-only question, like last month's spend by subreddit. Then try a change and read the preview.

Access and safety

What you're allowing, and how to take it back.

If you manage other people's money, read this bit. Here's what Reddit asks you to approve when you connect, what happens before your AI changes anything, and the two ways to switch it off.

What Reddit asks you to allow

  • Read your ads data, so your AI can report and look things up.
  • Edit your ads data, so it can make the changes you approve.
  • Send conversion events, for Conversions API uploads.
  • Keep access until you revoke it, so you don't sign in again every time.

What happens before a change

  • Your AI prepares a preview: the exact call, a before-and-after diff, and a warning when a budget or bid at least doubles.
  • The change runs only after you approve it in the chat.
  • New campaigns, ad groups and ads start paused, so nothing spends until you switch it on.
  • Every edit counts against your plan's edit quota, and the Free plan is view only.

Teammates, and switching it off

  • Team owners can make Reddit view only for any teammate.
  • Disconnect Reddit Ads in AdPlug and AdPlug revokes its access at Reddit too.
  • Or remove AdPlug yourself at reddit.com/prefs/apps.
What you can ask

Prompts to run on your Reddit account.

The account names, budgets and thresholds are placeholders. The shape of the question is the work. Drop these into Claude or ChatGPT once you've connected, then make them yours.

  • Show me spend, clicks and CPC by subreddit for the last 30 days, split by campaign. Which communities cost the most per click?

    Drop into your AI
  • Why isn't my new Reddit campaign delivering? Check the account, billing, rejected ads and the pixel, and tell me what to fix first.

    Drop into your AI
  • Suggest subreddits for [landing page URL], then estimate the audience and delivery for a $50 daily budget before I build anything.

    Drop into your AI
  • Pull keyword ideas for project management software with monthly views, check which ones pass Reddit's brand-safety rules, and draft an ad group targeting the best ten. Preview first, created paused.

    Drop into your AI
  • Which ads did Reddit reject this month, and why? Draft a fixed version of each and show me the preview.

    Drop into your AI
  • Compare feed and conversation placements over the last 14 days against the 14 days before. Where did CPC move?

    Drop into your AI
  • Exclude these subreddits across the whole account: [list]. Show me the preview before anything changes.

    Drop into your AI
  • Send these offline sign-ups to Reddit's Conversions API and show me the preview first.

Does Reddit have its own MCP server?

Not as of October 2026. Reddit doesn't publish an MCP server for Reddit Ads, so connecting it to an AI means using a third-party server like AdPlug's. People have started looking for one: in the US, searches for "reddit ads mcp" went from zero to about 90 a month during 2026.

AdPlug is independent and isn't affiliated with or endorsed by Reddit. It connects through Reddit's own consent screen, and you can remove it there whenever you like.

Reddit Ads MCP, frequently asked.

What is a Reddit Ads MCP?

A Reddit Ads MCP is a connector that lets an AI tool like Claude or ChatGPT read your Reddit Ads data and make changes through Reddit's Ads API. AdPlug's Reddit Ads MCP covers reporting, targeting research, delivery checks and campaign changes, with a preview for every change.

Does Reddit have its own MCP server for Reddit Ads?

Not as of October 2026. Reddit doesn't publish one, so connecting Reddit Ads to an AI means a third-party server. AdPlug is a hosted one: you approve it on Reddit's own consent screen and paste one URL into your AI. AdPlug is independent and isn't affiliated with or endorsed by Reddit.

How do I connect Reddit Ads to Claude?

Sign in to AdPlug, open Connections, click Connect Reddit Ads and approve Reddit's consent screen. Then in Claude open Settings, then Connectors, click Add custom connector, and paste https://api.adplug.app/mcp/reddit-ads. Approve AdPlug's sign-in and the connector is ready.

How do I connect Reddit Ads to ChatGPT? Do I need Developer mode?

Yes, ChatGPT adds custom MCP servers through Developer mode, which OpenAI lists for Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise, and Education accounts on the web. Turn it on under Settings, Apps, Advanced settings, then click Create app, paste https://api.adplug.app/mcp/reddit-ads as the MCP Server URL, and approve AdPlug's sign-in.

What does Reddit ask me to allow when I connect?

Four things: reading your ads data, editing your ads data, sending conversion events, and keeping access until you revoke it. The last one keeps the connection working, so you don't sign in to Reddit again every time your AI needs the account.

Can the AI change bids and budgets? How do I approve changes?

Yes, on a paid plan. Changes use two tools: a preview that shows the exact call, a before-and-after diff and a warning when a budget or bid at least doubles, and an execute tool that makes the change. Ask for the preview first, and Claude and ChatGPT ask you to confirm before a tool that changes the account runs. New campaigns, ad groups and ads start paused, so nothing spends until you switch it on.

Can I see which subreddits my ads ran in?

Yes. The community report breaks spend and delivery down by subreddit, and it can split each one by campaign. Your AI can also suggest new communities from a few topics or your landing page URL, check keywords against Reddit's brand-safety rules, and exclude communities or keywords across the whole account through a preview.

Why aren't my Reddit ads delivering?

Ask your AI to diagnose the account. One tool checks, in order, whether the ad account is approved, whether billing is working, which ads Reddit rejected and the reason it gave, and which conversion goals rely on a pixel event that hasn't fired in the last 7 days. Each finding comes with the next step.

Is a Reddit Ads MCP server safe to connect?

AdPlug connects through Reddit's own consent screen, stores tokens encrypted at rest, and logs every tool call with user, account, action, outcome and timestamp. Changes go through a preview and your confirmation, and team owners can make Reddit view only for any teammate. To take access back, disconnect Reddit Ads in AdPlug, which also revokes it at Reddit, or remove AdPlug at reddit.com/prefs/apps.

Is there a free Reddit Ads MCP?

Yes. AdPlug's free tier is $0 forever, covers one ad platform so you can pick Reddit Ads, and connects unlimited ad accounts read-only, with 500 requests in your first month and 50 a month after that. AI editing, a second platform and higher limits come with the paid plans, and Reddit costs nothing extra on any of them.

Which AI tools does it work with?

Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and any other AI tool that connects to remote MCP servers. Use https://api.adplug.app/mcp/reddit-ads for Reddit on its own, or https://api.adplug.app/mcp for every platform you've connected in AdPlug.

What can AdPlug actually do on Reddit Ads?

Nine tools, twenty report types and eighteen kinds of change. Reporting: account, campaign, ad group, ad, daily, hourly, community, keyword, interest, country, region, metro, placement (feed or conversation), device, gender, language, carousel card, video and conversions, each with an optional comparison to the previous period. Account detail: campaigns, ad groups with their full targeting, ads with Reddit's rejection reasons, posts, audiences, pixels, billing, lead forms, product catalogues and the change history. Targeting research: community search, community suggestions from topics or a landing page URL, keyword suggestions with monthly views, a brand-safety keyword check, interests, locations, languages, devices and third-party audiences. Estimates: audience size and delivery before you spend, and Reddit's bid suggestions. Diagnosis: why ads aren't delivering or converting, from account approval and billing to rejected ads and pixel events. Changes: campaigns, ad groups and their targeting, text, image, video and carousel posts, ads, pause, activate and archive, image and video uploads, account-wide community and keyword exclusions, customer-list and retargeting audiences, saved audiences and Conversions API events, up to 50 in one batch. Safety: a preview for every change, new campaigns, ad groups and ads created paused, view-only access per teammate, and edits counted against your plan.
