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.

Argument	Required	Notes
keyword	yes	Format depends on source (table below)
source	yes	One source per call. Lowercase catalog names
data_mode	no	REST only. weekly (default) or daily

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.

Argument	Required	Notes
keyword	yes	Same formats as get_time_series
source	yes	One source, or a comma-separated list (google search, tiktok, amazon)
percent_growth	no	Default ["12M"]. Presets below, or { "recent", "baseline", "name" } date objects

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).

Argument	Required on MCP	Notes
type	yes	See live feeds
limit	no	Default 25, max 200
offset	no	Pagination
category	for some types	Amazon / Google Trends / Top Websites / Substack / TikTok hashtag category boards
sort	no	rank (default) or rank_change
window	no	With sort=rank_change: 1d 3d 7d 14d 30d

REST API

curl -sS -X POST https://api.trendsmcp.ai/api \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TRENDSMCP_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"mode":"get_top_trends","type":"Google Trends","limit":5}'

import os, requests

r = requests.post(
    "https://api.trendsmcp.ai/api",
    headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['TRENDSMCP_API_KEY']}"},
    json={"mode": "get_growth", "source": "google search", "keyword": "bitcoin", "percent_growth": ["3M", "12M"]},
)
print(r.json())

Python client: pip install trendsmcp.

Limits and errors

Plan	Requests / month	Price
Free	100	$0
Starter	1,000	$19
Pro	5,000	$49
Business	25,000	$199

Annual billing is 20% less. Same source catalog on every plan. Free history and “top N” caps are on pricing. Failed calls are not billed. Over quota returns 429 / rate_limited (no surprise overages).

One billed request:

• get_time_series: one source + keyword
• get_growth: one source + keyword (all windows in that call included)
• get_top_trends: per type (and pagination as documented)

Status	Meaning
400	Bad or missing source / type / field
401	Missing or invalid key
404	No series for that keyword + source
429	Monthly cap
500	Upstream or internal error

Do not commit keys. Claude.ai connectors use OAuth; other clients use Authorization: Bearer ….

---

What this does not do

• Region / geo breakdown, related queries, or related topics
• Hourly series
• get_time_series across several sources in one call (use get_growth with a comma-separated source list, or several get_time_series calls)
• Inventing feed names: MCP type must match the table
