Reddit thread API 4 credits
When search surfaces a thread worth reading, this call fetches the post's full body and, with detail=full, the entire discussion tree: comments flattened in tree order with depth, about 200 per page, with a cursor to continue. It also batches: full text for up to 100 posts by their t3_ ids in one call.
Batch pricing starts at 4 credits for up to 10 ids; detail=full works with exactly one id and adds 4 credits.

Point an MCP client at https://mcp.veezee.io/reddit (streamable-http; https://mcp.veezee.io/all serves every platform over one connection) and call reddit_get_post:
{
"method": "tools/call",

"name": "reddit_get_post",
"arguments": {
"post_ids": [
"t3_1tbups6"
],
"detail": "full"

}Parameters#
| Param | Required | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
post_ids | yes | array | 1 to 100 post ids with the t3_ prefix, e.g. ["t3_1tbups6"]. |
detail | no | string | 'full' adds the discussion tree; only valid with exactly one id, +4 credits. |
comment_id | no | string | A t1_ comment id to fetch in context; only valid with exactly one post id, +4 credits like detail 'full'. |
sort | no | string | Discussion-tree order; only with detail 'full'. |
cursor | no | string | comments_cursor from a previous detail='full' page. |
freshness | no | string | recent (default) serves cached data from the last few hours when available; realtime forces a live fetch for +2 credits (refunded if we fall back to cached data). Trial keys are cached-only and reject realtime with TRIAL_CAP_EXCEEDED; paying upgrades this same key to unlock it. |
max_credits | no | integer | Spend ceiling for this one call. The call is rejected (nothing charged) if its quote exceeds this. Only the quote is ever reserved, never this ceiling. |
Returns a reddit_thread envelope. Full field list: /docs/fields#reddit_thread.

FAQ#
Where do post ids come from?
reddit_search, reddit_get_subreddit_posts, or the URL resolver; they're the t3_ values.
Can I fetch one specific comment?
Pass its t1_ id as comment_id (4 credits extra) to get that comment in its post context.
Does one call return the whole tree?
About 200 comments per page in tree order; follow comments_cursor for the rest.
