TrendsConnector for Gemini

Connect TrendsConnector to Gemini CLI with one settings entry. Trend history, growth and live boards inside your terminal session.

Gemini CLI reads MCP servers from settings.json, and remote HTTP servers take an httpUrl field. One entry adds TrendsConnector to every terminal session. 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.

Ask in plain language

Example prompt for Gemini

Using TrendsConnector, show 12-month growth for local LLMs on Google and YouTube.

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 field name matters. Gemini CLI wants httpUrl for this server. A url entry points at the wrong transport and the tools never load.

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

Where should the settings file live?

Per project in .gemini/settings.json, or in your user profile for every session. Keep the key out of shared repos by using the profile file or an environment variable.

What can I ask in the terminal?

Keyword history, growth over windows such as 3M and 12M, and live boards such as GitHub or Google Trends, answered next to your shell output.

Is TrendsConnector free in Gemini?

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.
