Why Trends MCP

Problem	Trends MCP solution
AI has a training cutoff -- it doesn't know what's trending today	Live data from 12+ sources, queried at request time
Managing TikTok, Reddit, YouTube APIs separately is painful	One MCP endpoint, all platforms, consistent schema
pytrends scrapes Google and breaks constantly	Managed pipeline with retries, no scraping
Trend data comes back as charts you have to read manually	Structured JSON your AI reasons over directly
Managing separate API keys for TikTok, Reddit, YouTube	One Trends MCP key covers all 12+ sources
Expensive enterprise tools just for trend signals	Free tier available, no dashboard, no per-seat pricing
