What it does
Trends MCP is a trend data service with one key for 53 data sets from 27 platforms: Google, TikTok, YouTube, Amazon, Reddit, Pinterest, Instagram, X and more. The agent asks about a topic and gets numbers without separate platform keys and without scraping of its own. Where the source supports it, values are normalized to a 0–100 scale. The server has five tools plus a free one. get_time_series returns about five years of weekly history for one keyword on one source. get_growth computes growth over one or more windows across several sources at once. get_top_trends shows a live board with no keyword: the current leaders or the fastest climbers against an earlier snapshot. get_context shows what people are posting and watching about a topic, with engagement. get_top_posts returns top posts for a hashtag and sits on the Business plan. get_usage reports the plan, usage and reset date and spends no requests. The remote server lives at https://api.trendsmcp.ai/mcp. The repository also holds a stdio adapter for Glama and local clients, with get_time_series, get_growth and get_top_trends available.
Who it is for. Marketers, SEO specialists and product founders who compare demand across platforms from Claude Code, Cursor or Claude Desktop.
Good fit when
- A topic should be compared by growth on Google, TikTok and Amazon over six months
- Before a product launch you want to see what Reddit and YouTube are discussing
- You want a morning list of what is climbing in search right now
- A report needs weekly series for a keyword over several years
- The request limit is near and you need to check what is left
Not a fit when
- You need data from Russian platforms: they are not listed among the sources
- You need full raw posts: the tool returns a sample with engagement
- The free 100 requests a month will not do and a paid plan is unwanted
- You need top posts for a hashtag on the free plan: get_top_posts is Business only

Environment variables
TRENDSMCP_API_KEYrequired, secret- API key for the stdio adapter, the same Bearer key as for the remote server.
Limitations
An API key is required. The free plan gives 100 requests a month, and beyond that a paid plan is needed. Each call spends requests: get_top_trends one per ten rows, get_context one per source, up to five per call.
The remote server runs at the vendor and is not in your environment. The stdio adapter in the repository gives only three of the six tools and takes the key in TRENDSMCP_API_KEY.
Claude.ai and ChatGPT connect through OAuth, while Cursor, VS Code and Claude Code use an Authorization header with the key. Access from Russia was not checked for this card.
How to disable. Run `claude mcp remove trends-mcp` in Claude Code or delete the trends-mcp entry from the client config. The key can be revoked on the Trends MCP account page.
FAQ
How much does Trends MCP cost?
The free plan includes 100 requests a month. The get_usage tool is free and shows the plan, usage and reset date. Paid plans are on the pricing page, and get_top_posts is available on the Business plan only.
How do I connect Trends MCP to Claude Code?
Get a key in your account and run `claude mcp add --scope user --transport http trends-mcp https://api.trendsmcp.ai/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"`. Saying "using TrendsMCP" in a prompt makes the model pick these tools instead of web search.
Which data sources are available?
53 data sets from 27 platforms are claimed: Google Search, YouTube, TikTok, Reddit, Amazon, Wikipedia, news, web traffic, app downloads, Steam, npm and more. The current list is in the data catalog on the site.
Does the server work in Claude.ai without my own key?
Claude.ai and ChatGPT sign in through OAuth on www.trendsmcp.ai, and no key goes into the connector config. Header-based clients such as Cursor and VS Code use a key.
How many requests does one call spend?
Most tools take one request per call. The exceptions: get_top_trends spends one per ten rows, and get_context one per source, up to five per call.

README in short
The README opens with a sample prompt and a table of tools with the request cost of each. It then covers install for Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, VS Code, Windsurf and Cline, the keyword sources and a REST API with the same modes. MIT licensed, with the trends-mcp-server package on PyPI.
