CLI agent
TrendsConnector for Claude Code
Connect TrendsConnector to Claude Code with one terminal command. Trend history and growth inside your CLI sessions.
Claude Code adds remote MCP servers from the terminal. One command registers TrendsConnector, and your key travels as a header on every call. Every series comes back on a shared 0 to 100 index, so one answer can compare Google, YouTube, TikTok, Amazon and the rest without a per platform account, scraper or API key.
Connect in 3 steps
- Get a free TrendsConnector API key. 100 requests a month, no credit card.
- Run the command below in your terminal, replacing the placeholder with your key.
- Start a session and ask a trend question. The tools load with the server list.
Terminal command
claude mcp add --transport http trends-connector https://api.trendsconnector.com/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"Ask in plain language
Example prompt for Claude Code
Using TrendsConnector, compare GitHub board leaders with npm growth for the same projects.
What you can pull
History and growth return weekly points on a 0 to 100 index, with absolute volume where the source provides it. Growth can compare several windows and several sources in one call. Live boards return the current ranked list with no keyword at all. Popular starting points:
Good to know
The header flag carries your key in shell history. On shared machines, add the server interactively instead of pasting the key into a recorded command.
TrendsConnector returns trend data: history, growth and live boards on a normalized scale. It is not a scraper, and it does not return raw posts, videos, listings or personal data. The full client setup reference, including copy paste config for every supported client, is in the docs connect guide.

Questions
User scope or project scope?
The default adds the server for you. Project scope writes it into the repo config, which suits a team that shares the same trend checks.
How do I remove it?
claude mcp remove trends-connector takes it back out. Your TrendsConnector key is untouched and still works everywhere else.
Is TrendsConnector free in Claude Code?
Yes, to start. The Free plan includes 100 requests a month, every data source, and both MCP and API access, with no credit card. Paid plans (Starter $19, Pro $49, Business $199 a month) raise the request limit and history depth. Annual billing saves 20 percent.
Which sources can I query once this is connected?
Every source on the same key: Google Trends, Google Shopping, YouTube, TikTok, Reddit, Amazon, Wikipedia, news, app, Steam, npm, PyPI, X, Spotify, GitHub, IMDb, Open Library, Substack and web traffic series, plus the live ranked boards. Ask for up to five years of weekly history or growth over windows such as 3M, 12M and YTD.
Do I need a separate key for each client?
No. One TrendsConnector key works in every client and as a Bearer token for direct REST calls. Register it in each client you use.
