Reddit and X data for AI agents

Most AI assistants can't read Reddit or X directly. Connect ChatterAPI's hosted MCP server and your agent can search both, read full threads and look up accounts. Each result shows what the call cost.

The job

Agents give better answers when they can see what people are saying now, and much of that is on Reddit and X. Without a data source, an agent guesses or tells you it can't browse there.

An MCP server exposes named tools with typed inputs, so the agent picks the right call itself. Because every result carries its credit cost, you can set a budget the agent can see.

How it works

Connect the server
Add the MCP URL and your key to your client. There are guides for Claude Code, Cursor and the OpenAI Agents SDK.
Build with a test key
A ca_test_ key returns recorded samples for 0 credits, so you can tune prompts for free.
Set a budget
Tell the agent to read credits.remaining and stop below a number you choose, and to pass a small limit.

One search across both

The agent calls the cross-platform search and gets Reddit and X results back in one merged list.

Recorded from a live call on Oct 14, 2026. Long text is shortened and the cursor is cut. A live key is charged up to 5 credits for this call. A test key returns this same sample for 0 credits.

What it won't do

ChatterAPI reads live Reddit and X. It does not return posts or comments that were deleted or removed.
MCP clients set their own limits on tool count, output size and timeouts. Each integration guide lists the limits for its client.

Questions

Which agents can use it?

Any client that speaks MCP over HTTP with a header, such as Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf and Codex. Frameworks like LangChain and CrewAI can load it too.

Does MCP cost more than REST?

No. Same tools, same credits, one balance.

Can the agent post on X?

Only from X accounts you connect in the dashboard, within safe daily limits. Reddit is read-only.
