Read-only MCP server

Ask your agent what the community thinks before you build or post.

Reddibee plugs into Claude Code, Cursor and Claude Desktop and reads Reddit, X, Hacker News and Product Hunt. Your agent finds the right communities, reads their rules, and pulls classified threads. Every answer comes with a permalink.

Is anyone asking for a cheaper Postmark alternative? Where could I post about mine without getting banned?

Agent, via Reddibee

Three live threads in the last 7 days, all asking for alternatives:

r/SaaS Postmark just tripled our bill. What are you using?Reddit · 2d ago · 41 comments · asks for alternative
HN Ask HN: Transactional email for a side project that won’t bankrupt meHacker News · 4d ago · 63 comments · asks for tool
X Moved off Postmark this weekend. Here is what broke.X · 6d ago · 27 replies · describes problem

r/SaaS: self-promo welcomed in the Saturday thread. r/webdev: restricted. Permalinks attached.

Who it’s for

Four people, one question: what is the community actually saying?

Indie hackers

Validate before you build.

GummySearch is gone and Reddit search is useless. "Is anyone asking for this?" costs an evening of tabs.

You ask: “Is anyone on Reddit or Hacker News asking for a self-hosted Calendly? How many, and where?”
You get: A count of real asks in the last 90 days, five example threads with permalinks, the communities where they cluster, and an honest "thin" flag when demand is not there.

Founders growing through communities

Find the thread. Know the rules. Post once.

F5Bot emails are noise, and reading ten sets of subreddit rules by hand is how you get banned anyway.

You ask: “Who asked for a Postmark alternative this week on Reddit or X, and where can I answer without breaking a rule?”
You get: Newest asks first across every source, plus each community’s rules and a promo-tolerance flag: welcomed, restricted, or unknown.

Builders living in Claude Code

Give your agent the community’s memory.

Your agent knows the docs. It has no idea what broke for everyone after last week’s release.

You ask: “What are r/ClaudeAI, r/cursor and Hacker News complaining about this week?”
You get: Ranked threads with topic, score and demand signals, inside the editor, with links you can open.

Writers covering AI and dev

This week in AI, sourced in one prompt.

Every issue starts with the same hour of scrolling five subreddits, HN and Product Hunt to find what mattered.

You ask: “Top threads across r/LocalLLaMA, r/LLMDevs, Hacker News and this week’s Product Hunt launches, with links.”
You get: A cited shortlist you can quote. Every item carries its permalink, so nothing needs re-finding.

Why it pays off

An evening of tabs becomes one call your agent makes for you.

Cited, not vibes. Every item carries its permalink, whatever the source, so you can check it and quote it.
Classified, not raw. Threads arrive tagged asks-for-tool, describes-problem, complains-about-product, asks-for-alternative.
Four sources, one answer. Reddit, X, Hacker News and Product Hunt merge into one ranked list. Filter by source when you want to.
Batched, not billed per row. One tool call is one request, whether it returns 3 threads or 50.
Read-only, always. Reddibee never posts, votes, replies or DMs, and never profiles individual users.

Use cases

Four jobs it does every week.

Each one is a single prompt to your agent. Reddibee picks the tools and the sources.

Validate an idea before you build it

Count the people already asking for it, read what they tried, and get an honest no when demand is thin.

“Is anyone asking for a self-hosted Calendly? How many in the last 90 days, and where?”

Read the use case

Launch in the right place without getting banned

Find the communities that match your product, read their rules, and post only where promotion is welcome.

“Which communities would care about a Postmark alternative, and which of them allow launch posts?”

Read the use case

Watch what people say about your product or a competitor

Complaints, alternative-seeking, and praise split apart and trended, with a watch that emails you the new ones.

“What are people saying about Cursor this week compared to last? Set a watch for complaints.”

Read the use case

Brief yourself, or your readers, on the week

Top threads across the communities you follow, ranked and cited, ready to quote in a newsletter or a standup.

“Top threads across r/LocalLLaMA, r/LLMDevs, Hacker News and this week’s Product Hunt AI launches, with links.”

Watches & alerts

Ask once. Hear about every new match.

Save any question as a watch: “anyone asking for a Postmark alternative”, “complaints about Cursor”, “Show HN posts about MCP”. Reddibee checks all four sources and sends new matches by email, on your schedule. Your agent can read the same feed as an MCP resource, so it arrives already briefed.
