Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| trends___get_growthA | Point-to-point growth for a keyword on one or more sources. Each window is a preset string (12M, 3M, YTD, and the other listed periods). Values are on a 0-100 scale, plus absolute volume when available. Designed for growth questions; for charting or custom math, get_time_series provides the full series. app downloads and app rankings are keyword sources (Android bundle ID). They are not the App Store / Google Play live boards on get_top_trends. Returns a plan-limit message when the request is rate limited or the monthly quota is used up. |
| trends___get_time_seriesA | Full historical series for one keyword and one source (0-100 values, plus volume when available). Suited for charting or custom math. Live 'what's trending now' boards are on get_top_trends. get_growth answers most growth questions with less data. Returns a plan-limit message when the request is rate limited or the monthly quota is used up. |
| trends___get_top_postsA | Live top posts for one hashtag on one social source. Fetched live on every call; nothing is stored. For when the user already has a hashtag and wants the posts winning on it. get_top_trends ranks the hashtags themselves. Returns a plan-limit message when the request is rate limited or the monthly quota is used up. |
| trends___get_top_trendsA | Live top-trending board for exactly one feed type. No keyword. For 'Amazon Best Sellers by Category', 'Google Trends by Category', 'Top Websites', 'Substack by Category', and 'TikTok Trending Hashtags by Category', category selects the board. Default sort is current rank. Use sort='rank_change' for climbers vs a prior snapshot (window 1d, 3d, 7d, 14d, or 30d). If the requested board is not in the database yet (for example a country that is not collected on the schedule), the board is fetched live. App Store Top Free, App Store Top Paid, and Google Play are live store boards, not keyword lookups. App history is available via get_growth or get_time_series with source app downloads or app rankings and an Android bundle ID. Live boards are only available here, not via get_time_series. Returns a plan-limit message when the request is rate limited or the monthly quota is used up. |
| trends___get_usageA | Shows your plan, requests used this month, requests left, and when it resets. Free: does not use a request. Call it when the user asks about their limit or after a limit error. Need more? https://www.trendsmcp.ai/account#account |

TDQS
Scored across 5 tools
The five tools mostly target distinct needs: account usage, growth summaries, full time series, top posts for a hashtag, and live top-trending boards. The only potential confusion is between get_growth and get_time_series for keyword history, and between get_top_posts and get_top_trends for ranking hashtags versus fetching posts, but the descriptions explicitly clarify these boundaries.
All tools use the same trends___get_* snake_case pattern. The names are predictable and descriptive, with no mixed casing or inconsistent verb styles.
Five tools is well-scoped for this trends API: usage, growth, time series, top posts, and top trends. Each tool covers a distinct capability without obvious redundancy or bloat.
The core workflow is covered: checking quota, querying historical growth and series data, fetching posts for a hashtag, and retrieving live trend boards. Minor gaps may exist around discovering available sources, feeds, or categories before calling the main tools, but the main trend-analysis surface is solid.
