What it does
TrendRadar collects hot topics from many platforms and RSS feeds, filters them by keywords and pushes digests to messengers and email. A separate MCP server exposes this data to an agent: you can chat about trends, analyze sentiment and reason about momentum in natural language. It installs through uv or Docker and keeps data locally or in the cloud as you choose. The MCP server listens on a local port and connects to clients such as Claude Desktop or Cline.
Who it is for. For marketers, SMM and analysts who need news monitoring with agent-driven analysis.
Good fit when
- You need to track hot topics by keyword and get digests
- You want to discuss trends and sentiment with an agent over MCP
- You need alerts about spikes of interest in messengers
Not a fit when
- You want a turnkey cloud service with no self-hosting
- You only care about platforms outside the supported sources

Limitations
You self-host the service through uv or Docker. The MCP server listens only on 127.0.0.1 by default; remote access needs a reverse proxy and authentication you set up. The main hot-topic sources are oriented toward Chinese platforms.
How to disable. Stop the trendradar-mcp container (docker compose stop trendradar-mcp) and remove the trendradar entry from your client's MCP config.
FAQ
Is MCP required?
No, TrendRadar also works as a plain monitor with alerts. MCP adds agent-driven trend analysis.
Where do alerts go?
