FAQ

Common questions

How does Trends MCP compare to Glimpse?

Glimpse is a Chrome extension that overlays absolute search volume data on top of Google Trends in your browser. Trends MCP delivers the same absolute volume data - plus TikTok, Reddit, YouTube, Amazon, Wikipedia, news, and web traffic signals - directly to your AI assistant without any browser extension.

Does Trends MCP provide absolute Google Search volume like Glimpse?

Yes. Trends MCP returns absolute query volume estimates alongside normalized interest scores. The methodology is similar to Glimpse: combining Google Trends relative data with third-party search volume calibration.

Can my AI get the channel breakdown that Glimpse shows?

Yes. Trends MCP covers the same channels Glimpse tracks (Google Search, YouTube, TikTok, Reddit, Pinterest interest) plus additional sources Glimpse does not: Amazon purchase intent, Wikipedia page views, news sentiment, web traffic trends, app downloads, Steam player counts, and npm developer downloads.

Is Trends MCP useful for the same use cases as Glimpse?

Yes - SEO keyword research, content strategy, e-commerce product research, and market trend analysis all work via Trends MCP. The key difference is that Trends MCP is designed for AI agents: your AI runs the queries and reasons over the data, rather than you manually looking up keywords in a browser extension.
