# Content Strategy Trends MCP

Gives your agent live trend numbers: keyword history, growth over set windows, and what is ranking on a platform right now. Useful before you commit to a topic.

## What it does

Three tools ship with the server. `get_time_series` returns history for one keyword on one source. `get_growth` reports percent change across windows from 7 days to 5 years, and several windows fit in a single call. `get_top_trends` needs no keyword at all — it shows what is ranking on a platform now. Where the pipeline supports it, values are normalized to 0–100.

The server is hosted at `https://content-strategy.api.trendsmcp.ai/mcp`. You need an API key before anything billable runs; the free tier covers 100 requests per month. In Claude the whole setup is one command with an `Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY` header.

A stdio adapter exists too: `pip install -e .` then `python -m trends_mcp_server`, with the key in `TRENDSMCP_API_KEY`. Tool listing works without a key there, but paid calls draw on the same quota. Mention “using TrendsMCP” in your prompt, otherwise the model may fall back to plain web search instead of these tools.

## When to use it
- compare keyword growth across several platforms
- pull a keyword's history for a chosen period
- see what ranks on a platform without naming a keyword
- check whether a topic is climbing before it peaks
- get 7-day and 5-year change in one call

## Example prompts
- Using TrendsMCP, compare 6-month growth for this keyword on Google and TikTok
- Using TrendsMCP, what's ranking on YouTube right now?
- Using TrendsMCP, show me the history for this keyword over the past year
