Live trend data for AI agents. One connection. Every platform. Powered by trendsmcp.ai

Why this exists

Brand and competitive intelligence agents need to compare your brand and your competitors on the same scale, across the same platforms, on the same dates. Trends MCP gives your agent search interest (Google, YouTube), social conversation (TikTok, Reddit), commerce attention (Amazon, Google Shopping), and media coverage (news volume and sentiment) through one MCP server, with one API key and a normalized 0 to 100 scale.
