Replace YOUR_API_KEY with the key from your account.

Claude Code
claude mcp add --scope user --transport http trends-mcp https://api.trendsmcp.ai/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
Cursor (manual)

~/.cursor/mcp.json (Windows: %USERPROFILE%\.cursor\mcp.json)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "trends-mcp": {
      "url": "https://api.trendsmcp.ai/mcp",
      "transport": "http",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" }
    }
  }
}
VS Code / Copilot (manual JSON)

.vscode/mcp.json or Command Palette → MCP: Add Server. Prefer the account-page VS Code button so the key is wired for you.

Windsurf

Uses serverUrl, not Cursor’s url + transport. File: ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json.

      ],
      "env": { "AUTH_HEADER": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" }

  }
}
Claude.ai custom connector

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.

Stdio (this repo / Glama)

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" }
    }
  }
}
Prompt tip

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

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

Develop this repo

pip install -e .
python -m trends_mcp_server
