get_trendsLABSCO SUMMARY
Three tools, and the cross-source comparison is the one that earns its keep.
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.
What it is
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.
What you get
- 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 carryingerrorandmessage - A managed pipeline with retries in place of scraping, and a hard cap rather than surprise overages — hitting the monthly limit returns

Requirements
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.

USE CASES
01
Deciding whether a product idea is rising or already over
Pull five years of weekly history for the term and the growth across search, social and commerce, and see whether the curve is a fad or a durable shift.
02
Finding what is breaking out right now
Read the live leaderboards — TikTok hashtags, GitHub trending, Reddit hot — without knowing the keyword in advance.
03
Checking whether coverage of a company has turned
Query news volume and news sentiment for the name over a six-month window instead of skimming headlines.
04
Comparing demand across very different platforms
Ask for one keyword across search, TikTok and Amazon in a single growth call and compare on the normalised index.
