Real queries, real insights

Every example below is a single AI prompt. Your AI queries TrendsMCP and gets actionable, cross-platform intelligence.

Market Research

Validate market demand across platforms before committing budget

"Using TrendsMCP, compare 12-month growth for plant-based meat across Google, Amazon, TikTok, and Reddit"

Google

-18%

Amazon

-12%

TikTok

+15%

-14%

Insight: Search and purchase intent are declining, but TikTok buzz is growing — a classic pattern where social awareness diverges from actual buying behavior. Data that saves a bad bet.

Content & SEO

Find rising keywords before your competitors rank for them

"Using TrendsMCP, what are the top trending Google searches right now? Then show me 3M growth for the top 5."

#1 trend

+340%

#2 trend

+185%

#3 trend

+120%

Insight: Combine live trending data with growth metrics to find keywords with real momentum. Publish content on rising topics before SERPs get competitive.

E-commerce & Product

Validate product demand before stocking inventory

"Via TrendsMCP, compare Amazon search trends for Stanley cup vs Yeti tumbler over the past 2 years"

Stanley

+156%

Yeti

-8%

Insight: Stanley's Amazon search volume surged 156% while Yeti declined. Sellers who spotted this signal early shifted inventory before the viral wave peaked.

Competitor Tracking

See who's gaining mindshare and who's losing it

"Via TrendsMCP, show 12-month Google Search and Reddit growth for Linear, Jira, and Asana"

Linear

+72%

Asana

+4%

Jira

-9%

Insight: Linear is pulling away from incumbents on both search and developer discussion — momentum that compounds long before it shows up in market-share reports.
