Summary
Plugs YouTube search interest data from Google Trends directly into Claude or any MCP client. You get time series data for any keyword, growth metrics comparing periods, and normalized trend values without scraping. The free tier at trendsmcp.ai gives you 100 requests per month, which covers casual keyword research or weekly monitoring jobs. Same service also exposes Google Search, TikTok, and a few other trend sources through one API, so you can compare momentum across platforms. Useful when you're validating content ideas, checking if a topic is heating up, or need defensible numbers instead of screenshots in Slack threads.
Keep your Mac awake while Claude Code and 40+ AI agents run. Sleeps when they're idle.
