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.
