TrendsConnector for Roo Code

Connect TrendsConnector to Roo Code through its MCP settings. Modes and agents can pull trend context into a task.

Roo Code manages MCP servers from its own settings panel in VS Code. One entry with the server URL and your key gives its modes access to trend history, growth and live boards. 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.

Example prompt for Roo Code

Using TrendsConnector, which of these topics is growing fastest on YouTube and TikTok?

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 alwaysAllow list above approves the three read only trend tools. Leave it out if you prefer to approve every call.

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

Is the setup different from Cline?

The shape is nearly identical, since Roo Code grew from the same roots. The difference is the settings location inside the Roo Code panel.

Can different modes use the tools?

Yes. MCP tools are available across modes once the server is connected and enabled.

Is TrendsConnector free in Roo 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.
