Prowlo — Reddit & X for AI agents: Claude Code MCP server
Connects agents to Reddit, Hacker News and X through semantic search. Background watchers index discussions continuously, requiring no developer keys from Reddit.

Prowlo operates as a hosted endpoint at https://api.prowlo.com/mcp. Background watchers collect discussions from Reddit and Hacker News, keeping past threads indexed for later retrieval. Instead of relying purely on exact keyword hits, agents run semantic searches across this accumulated dataset.
Direct live reads of current threads consume metered credits under a daily quota. Account setup relies on OAuth rather than individual Reddit API keys. The architecture stays strictly read-only: it cannot cast votes or post replies. After a 14-day evaluation period, continued access requires a $19 monthly subscription.
What it helps with
- Search indexed Reddit and Hacker News posts by meaning
- Track competitor mentions across communities without developer keys
- Evaluate subreddit activity and self-promotion rules
- Fetch active comment threads directly into agent context
Example prompts for the agent
