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"

</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 } } }

</details>

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 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" } } } }

</details>

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.

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.

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).

---
