Connects AI assistants to live trend metrics and news volume history across multiple platforms without custom scrapers.
claude mcp add --transport http news-volume-trends-mcp https://news-volume.api.trendsmcp.ai/mcpWhat News Volume Trends MCP does
This server feeds news publication numbers and query popularity into AI tools. It exposes three primary functions: get_time_series retrieves historical volumes for a keyword, get_growth measures change across spans from 7 days to 5 years, and get_top_trends surfaces current top items. Where supported, metrics use a 0–100 scale.
Setup connects to a hosted HTTP endpoint or runs locally via the trends_mcp_server Python package. The free tier caps usage at 100 requests per month, so continuous heavy data collection requires planning around that ceiling. It aggregates indicators across Google, Reddit, YouTube, TikTok, and other platforms under a single key.
What it helps with
- track historical news coverage for a target keyword
- calculate percentage growth across custom time windows
- discover top trending queries without building custom scrapers
- compare interest shifts across distinct media channels
Example prompts for the agent
- Compare 6-month growth for renewable energy across Google and Reddit
- Retrieve the historical publication volume for quantum computing using
get_time_series - Check what topics are currently trending right now
