## What it does

trendspyg is an open-source Python library for Google Trends data. The skill tells the agent how to reach it through its MCP server and which tools to call: trending searches right now, interest in a keyword over time, related queries, and a regional breakdown. The author bills it as a maintained pytrends alternative.

Inside is guidance for `mcporter`. The agent lists the available tools and their schemas first, then calls one with arguments. The MCP server starts with `uvx --from "trendspyg[mcp]" trendspyg-mcp`, so you need `uvx` on the machine and network access to Google Trends. For compatibility the author suggests `npx -y mcporter` rather than a bare `mcporter`.

The skill installs into Claude, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI and OpenCode. If you want fresh search trends inside the chat instead of a separate dashboard, this is a direct route to them.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add aahl/skills --skill trendspyg -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/trendspyg/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/trendspyg/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add aahl/skills --skill trendspyg -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/trendspyg/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add aahl/skills --skill trendspyg -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/trendspyg/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

## When to use it
- check what is trending on Google right now
- compare interest in two keywords over time
- pull related queries for a keyword
- break interest down by region
- swap pytrends out of a data pipeline

## Example prompts
- show me what's trending on Google right now
- compare interest in these two keywords over the past year
- what related queries does this keyword have

# trendspyg
Free, open-source Python library for Google Trends data: trending now plus keyword interest over time, related queries, and interest by region. A maintained pytrends alternative with CLI and API.
```bash
export UVX_TRENDSPYG='uvx --from "trendspyg[mcp]" trendspyg-mcp'
```

## List available tools
```bash
alias trendspyg-list="npx -y mcporter list --stdio '$UVX_TRENDSPYG'"
trendspyg-list --all-parameters

# Get the schema of the specified tool
trendspyg-list --json | jq '.tools[] | select(.name == "<tool_name>")'
```

## Call specified tool
```bash
alias trendspyg-call="npx -y mcporter call --stdio '$UVX_TRENDSPYG'"
trendspyg-call --tool <tool_name> --args '{"key":"val"}'
```

## About `mcporter`
To improve compatibility, use `npx -y mcporter` instead of `mcporter` when executing commands.
