Asking for growth on the same keyword across Google, TikTok and Amazon in a single call is the query that is genuinely painful otherwise — three APIs, three auth flows, three incompatible scales. Read the numbers for what they are: a normalised 0-100 index built from the vendor's own estimates, which is right for comparing directions and wrong for quoting as a platform's official figure.
A hosted MCP endpoint that answers trend questions across search, social and commerce sources in one place. Keyword history comes back as a normalised 0-100 index so Google, TikTok and Amazon can be compared in a single query, and the leaderboards need no keyword at all. One key covers every source — no per-platform API accounts and no scraping on your side.
- About five years of weekly history for a keyword on one source, normalised 0-100 — `get_trends`
- Percentage change over windows from 7D to 5Y, across several sources in one call — `get_growth`
- Live leaderboards with no keyword needed: Google Trends, Google News, TikTok Hashtags, YouTube, X, Reddit Hot and World News, Wikipedia, Amazon Best Sellers, App Store Free and Paid, Google Play, Top Websites, Spotify Podcasts, Steam Most Played, GitHub Trending Repos, IMDb, Open Library — `get_top_trends`
- Keyword sources for history and growth: `google search`, `google images`, `google news`, `google shopping`, `youtube`, `tiktok`, `reddit`, `amazon`, `wikipedia`, `news volume`, `news sentiment`, `app downloads`, `app rankings`, `npm`, `steam`
- The same key over a REST endpoint at `https://api.trendsmcp.ai/api`, with errors returned as JSON carrying `error` and `message`
- A managed pipeline with retries in place of scraping, and a hard cap rather than surprise overages — hitting the monthly limit returns `429 rate_limited`
An API key from trendsmcp.ai, presented as `Authorization: Bearer`. The endpoint is `https://api.trendsmcp.ai/mcp` over HTTP for Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code and Copilot; Cline uses the `streamableHttp` type, Claude Desktop goes through `npx mcp-remote` with the header passed in, and claude.ai takes `https://www.trendsmcp.ai/mcp` as a custom connector. The free tier is 100 requests per month with no credit card; paid tiers are Starter at $19/mo for 1,000 requests, Pro at $49/mo for 5,000 and Business at $199/mo for 25,000, with 20% off annually. The normalised index is described by the vendor as proprietary estimates, not official platform figures.
One command plus a key — npx -y mcp-remote https://api.trendsmcp.ai/mcp, then supply credentials
