TrendsConnector for Grok
Connect TrendsConnector to Grok with a custom connector. Ask about X, TikTok, Google and Amazon trends inside Grok, on web, iOS and Android.
Grok takes custom MCP servers as connectors. Add TrendsConnector once at grok.com/connectors, sign in with your key, and Grok discovers the trend tools and can call history, growth and live boards in any conversation. 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.

- Get a free TrendsConnector API key. 100 requests a month, no credit card.
- Go to grok.com/connectors, click New Connector, choose Custom, and paste the connector URL https://trendsconnector.com/mcp.
- Complete the sign in with your TrendsConnector key. Grok discovers the tools automatically, and you can ask a trend question right away.

Example prompt for Grok
Using TrendsConnector, what is breaking out on X and TikTok today?
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 server must be publicly reachable, which the hosted TrendsConnector endpoint already is. On Grok Business and Enterprise plans a team admin adds the connector in the console first, then members connect their own keys.
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
Can Grok compare X attention with search demand?
Yes. One growth call can take several sources, so X, Google and TikTok land on the same 0 to 100 scale in one answer.
Does this also work through the xAI API?
Yes. Developers can add the same server as a remote MCP tool in an API request, with the server URL and your key as the Authorization header. The app connector above is the no code path.
Does the connector work when I tag @grok in a post on X?
No. Tagging the Grok bot inside X answers from Grok's built in knowledge of X. Your personal connectors load in Grok conversations on grok.com and in the Grok apps, where your connector list lives. Ask your trend question there and the TrendsConnector tools answer it.
Is TrendsConnector free in Grok?
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.
