## What it does

The MCP server registers three callable tools: `get_time_series`, `get_growth`, and `get_top_trends`. The assistant can query concurrent player histories, track growth percentages across intervals from 7 days to 5 years, or inspect current platform rankings. Metrics scale from 0 to 100 when normalization applies.

You can connect via hosted HTTP at `https://steam.api.trendsmcp.ai/mcp` or run the local Python package `trends_mcp_server`. An account key from `trendsmcp.ai` is necessary. The free quota covers 100 requests per month, after which paid calls require an active Bearer token.
