What is the Steam Trends API MCP server?

If you already use Steam Trends API, the steam trends api mcp server is the piece that lets your assistant work with it directly. Steam concurrent player trends for any game over time. Free key at trendsapi.ai.

What the server does

res = requests.post( "https://api.trendsapi.ai/api", headers={"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"}, json={"mode": "get_growth", "source": "steam", "keyword": "Baldur's Gate 3", "percent_growth": ["3M", "12M"]}, ) print(res.json()) ```

Installation

Setup follows the usual MCP pattern — install or clone the server, register it in your client's configuration file, restart the client. The configuration blocks on this page cover the common clients.

Credentials and setup notes

Configuration is passed through the environment: AUTH_HEADER, YOUR_API_KEY. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.

Worth knowing first

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
  • Missing credentials fail quietly in some clients — if no tools show up, check the environment block first.
  • Keep per-call confirmation enabled while you learn its behaviour; it is the cheapest safeguard you have.

Where it fits

Plenty of developer tooling servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. It is maintained by ai.trendsapi; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

We check each listing at SyncDev against the project's documentation before it goes live — if something here drifts out of date, it is a bug worth reporting.

It connects Steam Trends API to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor. Instead of copying data back and forth by hand, the assistant works with Steam Trends API directly.
