설치

클라이언트 선택

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json · Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "reddit-mcp-buddy-2": {
      "command": "TODO",
      "args": [
        "See README: https://github.com/karanb192/reddit-mcp-buddy"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config 열기. 저장 후 앱 재시작.

~/.cursor/mcp.json · .cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "reddit-mcp-buddy-2": {
      "command": "TODO",
      "args": [
        "See README: https://github.com/karanb192/reddit-mcp-buddy"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Cursor는 Claude Desktop과 동일한 mcpServers 스키마 사용. 프로젝트 설정이 전역보다 우선.

VS Code → Cline → MCP Servers → Edit

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "reddit-mcp-buddy-2": {
      "command": "TODO",
      "args": [
        "See README: https://github.com/karanb192/reddit-mcp-buddy"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Cline 사이드바의 MCP Servers 아이콘 클릭 후 "Edit Configuration" 선택.

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "reddit-mcp-buddy-2": {
      "command": "TODO",
      "args": [
        "See README: https://github.com/karanb192/reddit-mcp-buddy"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop과 같은 형식. Windsurf 재시작 후 적용.

~/.continue/config.json

{
  "mcpServers": [
    {
      "name": "reddit-mcp-buddy-2",
      "command": "TODO",
      "args": [
        "See README: https://github.com/karanb192/reddit-mcp-buddy"
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Continue는 맵이 아닌 서버 오브젝트 배열 사용.

~/.config/zed/settings.json

{
  "context_servers": {
    "reddit-mcp-buddy-2": {
      "command": {
        "path": "TODO",
        "args": [
          "See README: https://github.com/karanb192/reddit-mcp-buddy"
        ]
      }
    }
  }
}

context_servers에 추가. 저장 시 Zed가 핫 리로드.
