Steam Trends API — Claude Code MCP server
Query monthly Steam game trends, growth over selected periods, and the current most-played list through an MCP server.
claude mcp add --transport http steam-trends-api https://steam.api.trendsapi.ai/mcpWhat Steam Trends API does
The server gives an agent access to Steam data through Trends API. Ask for a game's monthly history, compare growth across periods, or retrieve the current most-played list. Game lookup uses its display name rather than an AppID.
Historical values are an index from 0 to 100 relative to that title, not raw player counts. The series is monthly, so it does not show day-by-day CCU changes. In Claude Code, add the server with claude mcp add --transport http steam-trends-api https://steam.api.trendsapi.ai/mcp.
What it helps with
- check a game's monthly Steam trend history
- compare trend growth across selected periods
- retrieve the current most-played games
- look up a game by name instead of AppID
Example prompts for the agent
- Show the monthly Steam trend history for Counter-Strike 2.
- Compare Counter-Strike 2 trend growth over 3M and 12M.
- Which games are currently on Steam's most-played list?
