Problem

Trends MCP solution

AI has a training cutoff - it doesn't know what's trending today

Live data from 25+ sources, queried at request time

Managing TikTok, Reddit, YouTube APIs separately is painful

One MCP endpoint, all platforms, consistent schema

pytrends scrapes Google and breaks constantly

Managed pipeline with retries, no scraping

Trend data comes back as charts you have to read manually

Structured JSON your AI reasons over directly

Managing separate API keys for TikTok, Reddit, YouTube

One Trends MCP key covers all 12+ sources

Expensive enterprise tools just for trend signals

Free tier available, no dashboard, no per-seat pricing
