## What it does

Wikipedia Trends MCP gives an agent time-based page-view data for Wikipedia articles, so it can inspect a topic’s trajectory or compare changes across articles. It connects through MCP; it is not a chat command you run on its own.

For Claude Code, add the server with the command below. The service description points users to a free API key at `trendsmcp.ai`, while the install command supplies the server endpoint. Have the key ready if access to trend data requires account setup.
