Why Trends MCP
| Problem | Trends MCP solution |
|---|---|
| AI has a training cutoff -- it doesn't know what's trending today | Live data from 12+ sources, queried at request time |
| Managing TikTok, Reddit, YouTube APIs separately is painful | One MCP endpoint, all platforms, consistent schema |
| pytrends scrapes Google and breaks constantly | Managed pipeline with retries, no scraping |
| Trend data comes back as charts you have to read manually | Structured JSON your AI reasons over directly |
| Managing separate API keys for TikTok, Reddit, YouTube | One Trends MCP key covers all 12+ sources |
| Expensive enterprise tools just for trend signals | Free tier available, no dashboard, no per-seat pricing |
