Ask Claude or ChatGPT about Reddit and it guesses from training data that is months old, or runs a web search and summarizes blog posts. No current numbers, no history, no dates.
It reads Reddit directly: subreddit subscribers, hot posts, r/worldnews. Every answer has the real numbers and the date they are from.
Click your app. It opens with TrendsConnector already filled in. You sign in once with a free TrendsConnector account; there is no API key to copy.
| App | After you click |
|---|---|
| Claude | The connector name and URL are prefilled. Confirm, sign in to TrendsConnector, approve access. |
| ChatGPT | Turn on Developer mode under Settings → Security and login. Name it TrendsConnector, URL https://trendsconnector.com/mcp, choose OAuth, sign in. |
| Cursor | Approve the install. Sign in to TrendsConnector when Cursor asks. |
| VS Code | Approve the install. Open Chat in Agent mode and enable the TrendsConnector tools. |
One connector covers every source, so Reddit works the moment you add it. Other apps (Grok, Muse, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude Code and more): setup for every app.

| Data | Ask with | What it measures |
|---|---|---|
| History and growth | a keyword: subreddit name only, no r/ prefix | Subreddit subscribers |
| Live board: Reddit Hot Posts | no keyword | Hottest posts on Reddit's front page |
| Live board: Reddit World News | no keyword | Top posts in r/worldnews |
Pass the subreddit name only, with no r/ prefix, for subscriber history. Hot posts and the r/worldnews list need no keyword.
Good to know: This is subscriber history plus those two live lists. It is not a search of every comment on Reddit.
Do I include the r/ prefix?
No. Pass the subreddit name only, such as wallstreetbets.
Can I read the hottest posts?
Yes. Hot posts on the front page, and top posts in r/worldnews, need no keyword.
Is the Reddit connector free?
Yes. The free plan has 100 requests a month and includes every source. No credit card. Paid plans start at $19 a month for 1,000 requests.
Which AI apps work with it?
Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code, Claude Code, Grok, Muse, Perplexity, Gemini, Copilot, Windsurf and any app that supports MCP connectors.
