News Sentiment Trends MCP — Claude Code MCP server
Gives your agent sentiment history and interest growth for a topic across dozens of sources. Useful when you need real momentum numbers instead of a guess.
claude mcp add --transport http news-sentiment-trends-mcp https://news-sentiment.api.trendsmcp.ai/mcpWhat News Sentiment Trends MCP does
The server speaks HTTP and exposes three tools. get_time_series returns history for one keyword on one source, get_growth reports percent change across a window from 7 days to 5 years, and get_top_trends shows what is ranking on a platform right now without any keyword. Scores are normalized to 0–100 where the pipeline allows it.
The hosted endpoint is https://api.trendsmcp.ai/mcp, and the key travels in an Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY header. The same key works for REST calls to POST https://api.trendsmcp.ai/api. A stdio adapter also ships in the repo: run pip install -e . then python -m trends_mcp_server. Paid calls there need TRENDSMCP_API_KEY and draw from the same quota.
A free key covers 100 requests per month and comes from https://www.trendsmcp.ai/account. The Claude.ai connector at https://www.trendsmcp.ai/mcp signs in with OAuth, so putting a Bearer key in that config breaks the authorization step.
