Token prices update every second while public attention moves on slower clocks. Trends MCP lets researchers stack Google Search interest, news volume, news sentiment, and Wikipedia readership so narrative heat and price action can be discussed in one place.
A green candle only states where matched orders cleared. It does not say whether households started searching the asset name, whether wire services assigned more paragraphs, or whether newcomers opened reference articles. Narrative research benefits from both layers so the writer can separate liquidity episodes from education waves.
Ask the assistant for attention metrics using TrendsMCP in the prompt, then keep conclusions in conditional language. Note when search rises while news sentiment falls, since that pattern often marks controversy rather than adoption.
Teams that cover macro rotations may also use https://www.trendsmcp.ai/sector-rotation-signals. For pure news mechanics, see https://www.trendsmcp.ai/news-sentiment-data and https://www.trendsmcp.ai/news-volume-data.
Log who ran each pull, which API key was active, and which keyword list shipped in the PDF. Avoid cherry-picking a single spike without showing the surrounding month. When the pipeline returns partial data, describe the gap in the footnote.
Exchange outages, airdrop spam, and bot traffic can distort casual keyword lists. Prefer phrases your editor would allow in print. If two communities use different slang for the same asset, track both strings and explain overlap in prose rather than merging silently.
