Investors expect evidence of demand, not only a story. Trends MCP lets an assistant retrieve live search interest, news volume, category momentum, and cross-platform signals so slides stay specific and easy to update before each meeting.
Reviewers see stale axes and generic curves every week. When the first bullet under a market slide names a dated month or a single spike, diligence assumes the rest of the file received the same one-pass treatment.
A defensible slide states the keyword or entity, names the source, and keeps the window explicit. Google Search interest answers whether more people are typing the problem. Google Shopping interest separates purchase intent from curiosity. News volume and sentiment show whether journalists are amplifying or attacking the space. None of that requires a dozen browser tabs if the assistant can call a single MCP server.
Add the server in Cursor, Claude, or any host listed on the product docs. Paste a deck outline into the thread, list the phrases that must appear on the market slide, and ask for growth tables plus sparkline descriptions. Export numbers only after the partner approves the wording so the appendix matches the live pull.

Models can misread units or mix weekly and daily modes. An analyst should confirm that each keyword matches the product language buyers actually use. If a category maps to several phrases, run them as a set and explain overlap in the speaker notes instead of hiding the mess.
Coverage follows the sources exposed by Trends MCP. If a vertical is too niche for reliable news sentiment, say so on the slide footnote. When upstream feeds return empty rows, skip the chart rather than interpolating.
