Instalar

Escolha seu cliente

~/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"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Abra Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config. Reinicie após salvar.

~/.cursor/mcp.json · .cursor/mcp.json

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

Cursor usa o mesmo esquema mcpServers que o Claude Desktop. Config de projeto vence a global.

VS Code → Cline → MCP Servers → Edit

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

Clique no ícone MCP Servers na barra lateral do Cline, depois "Edit Configuration".

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

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

Mesmo formato do Claude Desktop. Reinicie o Windsurf para aplicar.

~/.continue/config.json

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

O Continue usa um array de objetos de servidor em vez de um map.

~/.config/zed/settings.json

{
  "context_servers": {

          "See README: https://github.com/karanb192/reddit-mcp-buddy"
        ]
      }
    }
  }
}

Adicione em context_servers. Zed recarrega automaticamente ao salvar.

claude mcp add reddit-mcp-buddy-2 -- TODO 'See README: https://github.com/karanb192/reddit-mcp-buddy'

Uma linha só. Verifique com claude mcp list. Remova com claude mcp remove.
