Plugs news article volume data into Claude via MCP, pulling from TrendsMCP's API at trendsmcp.ai. You get time-series counts for any topic keyword, useful when you need to confirm whether a spike in coverage is real or just feels that way. Free tier gives you 100 requests a month, which works if you're batching checks rather than live-streaming every query. The same infrastructure powers Google Search trends, TikTok momentum, and a few other sources through their main API, but this connector specifically surfaces article volume growth. Setup is the usual MCP dance: paste a JSON block into Claude's config, add your API key, restart. Good for content strategists, researchers, or anyone who'd otherwise be screenshotting Google Trends and pasting into a deck.
