When to use Trends MCP — Keyword & npm Package Trends

Choose if

You want a single keyed MCP for keyword/topic trend lookups and don't want to wire Google Trends scraping or hit npm-stat APIs yourself. Generous pricing tiers ($19/mo for 1k requests), one API key works for both REST and MCP, and 20% annual discount is available. Useful for SEO, content strategy, and early-warning emerging-topic detection.

Avoid if

You need authoritative npm download counts (go direct to api.npmjs.org/ downloads), absolute search volume (use a paid SEO tool — Ahrefs, SEMrush), or sub-weekly granularity beyond the rolling 30 days. The free tier (100 req/mo) is too tight for any production agent.

Risk Flags

  • MEDIUM rate_limit Free tier hard-capped at 100 requests/month. Production usage requires Starter ($19/mo, 1k req) or higher. Returns HTTP 429 with code `rate_limited` on exceed.
  • LOW data_quality Vendor discloses normalization to 0-100 scale is an approximation; peak hours can drag. Cross-check against primary sources (Google Trends, npm downloads API) when the number drives a money decision.
