What Trends MCP does

Trends MCP gives AI agents access to normalized trend data across 25+ keyword sources and live feeds — Google Search, YouTube, TikTok, Amazon, Reddit, Wikipedia, Steam, npm, news sentiment, and more.

Instead of juggling per-platform keys, scrapers, and rate limits, your AI calls three tools and gets back clean JSON:

Tool	What it does
get_trends	~5 years of weekly time-series data for any keyword, normalized 0–100
get_growth	% change over preset or custom periods (7D, 1M, 3M, 6M, 1Y, YTD, ...) across one or many sources at once
get_top_trends	What's trending right now — no keyword needed. Google Trends, TikTok, Reddit, YouTube, Amazon, Spotify, GitHub, and more
