What is the SEO Trends API MCP server?

Spot keyword demand rising or fading across search and social. Free key at trendsapi.ai. Exposed over MCP by the seo trends api mcp server, that capability becomes something an assistant can invoke while it works, not something you go and do afterwards.

What it actually does

The same API key powers the Trends API MCP server, so Claude, Cursor, VS Code, ChatGPT and any MCP-compatible client can query this data in natural language.

Its toolset

Everything the assistant can do here goes through one of these:

  • get_trends — Historical trend series for a keyword on one of 15 sources
  • get_growth — Growth % over 3M / 6M / 12M / 5Y windows
  • get_top_trends — 21 live trending feeds (Google, TikTok, YouTube, X, Reddit, Amazon, Steam, Spotify...)

Adding it to your client

Being a remote server, there is no local install. You register the endpoint with your client, authorise it once, and the tools appear.

Configuration

You will need 2 environment variables: AUTH_HEADER, YOUR_API_KEY. The server will not start without them, which is usually why the tools fail to appear on a first run. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.

When to reach for it

Among the developer tooling options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. SEO Trends API's toolset — get_trends, get_growth, get_top_trends — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by ai.trendsapi; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

This entry was verified against SEO Trends API's own documentation before publication; SyncDev keeps the directory reviewed rather than auto-generated.

Caveats

  • Your data travels to the provider's service, so the usual questions apply about what you send and what they retain.
  • Missing credentials fail quietly in some clients — if no tools show up, check the environment block first.
  • MCP clients confirm each tool call by default. Leave that on until you have watched what the seo trends api mcp server does with a few real requests.
