Protect your Reddit account from spam detection and bans with built-in safeguards. Enabled by default (standard mode) per Reddit's Responsible Builder Policy.
Reddit's spam detection can flag accounts for:
Safe Mode helps prevent these issues automatically.
| Mode | Write Delay | Duplicate Detection | Use Case |
|---|---|---|---|
off |
None | No | Explicit opt-out only |
standard |
2 seconds | Last 10 items + cross-sub | Default, recommended |
strict |
5 seconds | Last 20 items + cross-sub | For cautious automated posting |
Safe mode is enabled by default. To explicitly disable:
export REDDIT_SAFE_MODE=off
npx reddit-mcp-server
Reddit's Responsible Builder Policy requires bots to disclose their automated nature. Enable automatic bot footers on all posted content:
export REDDIT_BOT_DISCLOSURE=auto
npx reddit-mcp-server
When enabled, a footer is appended to all posts, replies, and edits:
---
🤖 I am a bot | Built with reddit-mcp-server
Customize the footer with REDDIT_BOT_FOOTER:
export REDDIT_BOT_DISCLOSURE=auto
export REDDIT_BOT_FOOTER=$'\n\n---\n^(🤖 Custom bot footer text)'
Anonymous mode no longer works. As of mid-2026, Reddit blocks all unauthenticated API requests with HTTP 403. OAuth credentials are now required for any API access.
Additionally, Reddit closed self-service OAuth app creation in November 2025. New developers must request access through Reddit's Developer Support. Existing OAuth credentials (obtained before November 2025) continue to work.
If you already have a Reddit app (created at /prefs/apps before November 2025): use
