Get a free API key · Docs · Pricing · Data sources · PyPI · Glama

You: Using TrendsMCP, compare 6-month growth for GLP-1 on Google, TikTok, and Amazon.

Agent: Google Search  +84%
       TikTok         +212%
       Amazon         +61%

Three tools. Normalized 0–100 where the pipeline supports it. No per-platform keys. No scraping on your side.

Quick install

Same four clients as the site hero. Get a free key first (100 req/mo). Claude and ChatGPT sign you in with OAuth. Cursor and VS Code: click, then put your key from /account if the deeplink used a placeholder.

Client	After you click
Claude	Connector name and URL are prefilled (`https://www.trendsmcp.ai/mcp`). Confirm, then authorize.
Cursor	Approve the MCP install. Replace `YOUR_API_KEY` if prompted.
ChatGPT	Enable Developer mode (Profile → Settings → Security). Name `Trends MCP`, URL `https://www.trendsmcp.ai/mcp`, then authorize.
VS Code	Sign in on the account page and use the VS Code button so the key is included.

Then ask: Using TrendsMCP, what's trending on Google right now?

What this is

Hosted MCP at https://api.trendsmcp.ai/mcp. Same Bearer key for POST https://api.trendsmcp.ai/api. This repo also has a stdio adapter for Glama and local hosts.

Tool	Use when	Needs a keyword?
`get_time_series`	History for one keyword on one source	Yes
`get_growth`	Percent change over 7D–5Y (several windows in one call)	Yes
`get_top_trends`	What is ranking on a platform right now	No

Replace YOUR_API_KEY with the key from your account.

        "--header", "Authorization:${AUTH_HEADER}"
      ],
      "env": { "AUTH_HEADER": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" }
    }
  }
}

Settings → Connectors → add https://www.trendsmcp.ai/mcp. This path uses OAuth on www.trendsmcp.ai. Do not put a Bearer key in that connector config.

Hosted HTTP is still the product default. This process lists tools with no key; paid calls need TRENDSMCP_API_KEY and bill the same quota.

pip install -e .
python -m trends_mcp_server

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "trends-mcp": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["-m", "trends_mcp_server"],
      "env": { "TRENDSMCP_API_KEY": "YOUR_API_KEY" }
    }
  }
}

Say “using TrendsMCP” so the model picks these tools instead of web search. More clients: docs.

Tools

Always-current parameter lists: docs.

`get_time_series`

Weekly (or daily) history for one source + keyword. Same name on MCP and REST (mode: "get_time_series"). REST also accepts get_trends as an alias.

Argument	Required	Notes
`keyword`	yes	Format depends on source (table below)
`source`	yes	One source per call. Lowercase catalog names
`data_mode`	no	REST only. `weekly` (default) or `daily`

Index is 0–100 where the pipeline supports it (100 = peak in the returned window). volume is present when that source has an absolute series.

`get_growth`

Point-to-point percent change. Several windows in one call still count as one request for that source + keyword.

Argument	Required	Notes
`keyword`	yes	Same formats as `get_time_series`
`source`	yes	One source, or a comma-separated list (`google search, tiktok, amazon`)
`percent_growth`	no	Default `["12M"]`. Presets below, or `{ "recent", "baseline", "name" }` date objects

Presets: 7D 14D 30D 1M 2M 3M 6M 9M 12M 1Y 18M 24M 2Y 36M 3Y 48M 60M 5Y MTD QTD YTD.

`get_top_trends`

Live ranked list. No keyword. On MCP, type is required and must match the feed name exactly (including capitals). On REST, omit type only if you intend to pull every feed (billed per feed).

Argument	Required on MCP	Notes
`type`	yes	See live feeds
`limit`	no	Default 25, max 200
`offset`	no	Pagination
`category`	for some types	Amazon / Google Trends / Top Websites / Substack / TikTok hashtag category boards
`sort`	no	`rank` (default) or `rank_change`
`window`	no	With `sort=rank_change`: `1d` `3d` `7d` `14d` `30d`

iOS charts, GitHub repos, Spotify, IMDb, Open Library, Substack, and Top Websites are feeds, not source values. There is no source: "web traffic".

REST API

curl -sS -X POST https://api.trendsmcp.ai/api \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TRENDSMCP_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"mode":"get_top_trends","type":"Google Trends","limit":5}'

import os, requests

r = requests.post(
    "https://api.trendsmcp.ai/api",
    headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['TRENDSMCP_API_KEY']}"},
    json={"mode": "get_growth", "source": "google search", "keyword": "bitcoin", "percent_growth": ["3M", "12M"]},
)
print(r.json())

Python client: pip install trendsmcp.

Limits and errors

Plan	Requests / month	Price
Free	100	$0
Starter	1,000	$19
Pro	5,000	$49
Business	25,000	$199

Annual billing is 20% less. Same source catalog on every plan. Free history and “top N” caps are on pricing. Failed calls are not billed. Over quota returns 429 / rate_limited (no surprise overages).

One billed request:

get_time_series: one source + keyword
get_growth: one source + keyword (all windows in that call included)
get_top_trends: per type (and pagination as documented)

Status	Meaning
400	Bad or missing `source` / `type` / field
401	Missing or invalid key
404	No series for that keyword + source
429	Monthly cap
500	Upstream or internal error

Do not commit keys. Claude.ai connectors use OAuth; other clients use Authorization: Bearer ….

What this does not do

Region / geo breakdown, related queries, or related topics
Hourly series
get_time_series across several sources in one call (use get_growth with a comma-separated source list, or several get_time_series calls)
Inventing feed names: MCP type must match the table
