Claude Code

claude mcp add --scope user --transport http trends-mcp https://api.trendsmcp.ai/mcp \

--header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"

</details>

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" } } } }

</details>

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.

{

"servers": { "trends-mcp": { "type": "http", "url": "https://api.trendsmcp.ai/mcp", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" } } } }

</details>

Windsurf

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

{

"mcpServers": { "trends-mcp": { "serverUrl": "https://api.trendsmcp.ai/mcp", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" } } } }

</details>

Cline

Remote server, type exactly streamableHttp. See llms-install.md.

{

"mcpServers": { "trends-mcp": { "type": "streamableHttp", "url": "https://api.trendsmcp.ai/mcp", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" }, "disabled": false } } }

Claude Desktop (no native HTTP)

{

"mcpServers": { "trends-mcp": { "command": "npx", "args": [ "-y", "mcp-remote", "https://api.trendsmcp.ai/mcp", "--header", "Authorization:${AUTH_HEADER}" ], "env": { "AUTH_HEADER": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" } } } }

</details>

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 the product default and has every tool. This stdio adapter exposes get_time_series, get_growth and get_top_trends; use the hosted server for get_context, get_top_posts and get_usage. It lists tools with no key; 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" } } } }
