Reddit leads, inside your coding agent
MentionLeads ships a remote MCP server. Claude Code, Cursor, and any MCP client can pull your scored leads and reply drafts — and turn real user complaints from Reddit into coding tasks your agent executes on the spot. All tools are read-only: a key never posts anywhere, never spends your scans, never touches your account. Configuration examples and the expanded tool reference live in the official MentionLeads MCP GitHub repository.
Quick start
- Create an account, choose Starter or Pro, then mint a scoped token on the API & MCP page in the app. Enable Lead intelligence; tokens start with
mlk_and are shown once. - Claude Code — one command:
claude mcp add --transport http mentionleads https://www.mentionleads.com/api/mcp \ --header "Authorization: Bearer mlk_YOUR_KEY"
- Cursor (or any client using
mcp.json):{ "mcpServers": { "mentionleads": { "url": "https://www.mentionleads.com/api/mcp", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer mlk_YOUR_KEY" } } } } - Ask your agent: “what are my leads today?” or “anyone complaining about my product on reddit?”
Tools
| Tool | Params | What it returns |
|---|---|---|
list_projects | — | Your projects (id, name, product, platforms). Project ids filter the other tools. |
get_leads | projectId?, minIntent?, limit? | Latest scored leads: real threads with buying intent. Title, URL, subreddit, intent 0–100, quality, and why it was flagged. |
get_reply_draft | leadId | The AI-drafted, human-voice reply (and optional DM) for one lead. You review, edit, and post it yourself. |
get_product_feedback | projectId?, limit? | Build signals mined from your scans: people discussing YOUR product (user_feedback), competitor complaints (competitor_gap), market pains (market_pain). |
get_build_prompt | leadId | Turns one feedback item into a ready-to-run coding task: complaint verbatim, product context, and a definition of done that ends with replying to the thread. |
generate_implementation_plan | idea | Pro. Idea → market-validated implementation plan as Markdown: demand evidence from real threads, MVP roadmap, go-to-market, and a ready-to-run build prompt. Rate-limited (5/day). |
get_account_status | — | Your plan and how many scans you have left today. |
The loop: complaint → fix → reply
The killer workflow for founders who ship fast: get_product_feedbacksurfaces a user saying “love the tool but there’s no CSV export”, get_build_prompt turns it into a scoped coding task (smallest change, tests, no over-building), your agent ships it, and get_reply_draftwrites the human-voice “just shipped it” reply — which you post yourself. Feedback becomes features while the thread is still warm.
Protocol & security
- Streamable HTTP, stateless JSON-RPC at
https://www.mentionleads.com/api/mcp(POST only). Protocol versions 2024-11-05 through 2025-06-18. - Auth:
Authorization: Bearer mlk_…. Keys are stored as sha256 hashes; the list view shows only a prefix; revoke anytime. - Every tool is annotated
readOnlyHint— no tool posts to Reddit, spends scans, or mutates your account. - Keep keys in your terminal/agent config only — never in client-side code or a repo.
