Why this exists

Your AI has a training cutoff. The world doesn't.

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

Claude: GLP-1 momentum, last 6 months:
  Google Search  +84%  (accelerating)
  TikTok         +212% (breakout)
  Amazon         +61%  (steady)

One MCP endpoint replaces per-platform API keys, brittle scrapers (looking at you, pytrends), and $500/mo dashboard tools. Everything comes back as normalized 0–100 JSON your AI can reason over directly — ~5 years of weekly history per keyword.

Problem Trends MCP solution
AI has a training cutoff — it doesn't know what's trending today Live data from 25+ sources, queried at request time
Separate keys and APIs for TikTok, Reddit, YouTube, Amazon… One MCP endpoint, one key, consistent schema
pytrends scrapes Google and breaks constantly Managed pipeline with retries, no scraping
Trend data comes back as charts you read manually Structured JSON your AI reasons over directly
Expensive enterprise dashboards just for trend signals Free tier, no dashboard, no per-seat pricing
