This endpoint answered with an authorization challenge. The server is running, and it signs you in through your browser: there is no API key to paste.

Available tools 15

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

supplemental

check_supplemental_status

Check if market data gathering is complete and retrieve the results. Call this after get_supplemental_context — poll every 5-10 seconds until status is COMPLETE or FAILED.

get_supplemental_context

A standard layer for macro, institutional, and real-time market data. Call this tool when curated coverage is thin, empty, or when the query is explicitly demand/attention-shaped (e.g. to get search volume, economic series, or census data). It retrieves data from 80+ authoritative sources (Google Trends, FRED, BLS, Census, etc.) fanned out in parallel. Returns categorized data blocks with source attribution and metadata. Note: call after search_graph indicates thin/empty coverage via its coverage annotation.

account

get_my_account

Check the current user's account status: API call balance, plan, enabled/disabled graphs, and profile info. Use when the user asks "how many API calls do I have?", "what plan am I on?", "what graphs can I access?", or similar account questions. Returns live data — not cached from session start.

capabilities

get_capabilities

Returns Fodda's main capabilities / features / offerings / products / services / tools and how to use them. Call this for any question about what Fodda can do or what's available.

evidence

get_evidence

Get the source articles, case studies, and statistics behind a specific trend — with full citations and publisher attribution. Each item includes source URL, location, brand names, publication date, category, and a formatted citation. Use after search_graph when you need the supporting proof behind a trend. This is a direct lookup by trend ID — not a text search tool.

generate

generate_visual

Create a presentation-ready data visualization from research findings. Available chart types: "cultural_shifts" (From→To transitions), "competitive_compass" (brands on 2 axes), "trend_constellation" (network of related trends), "implication_ladder" (Signal→Trend→So What→Do What), "innovation_pathway" (Now→Near-Term→Future), "opportunity_map" (2×2 white space analysis). Returns a branded SVG that renders directly in the chat. Highlight focal entity using top-level "focus":"Name" or per-item "focus":true.

graph

search_graph

Find trends, signals, and expert insights across 100+ curated knowledge graphs covering retail, beauty, tech, food, travel, sports, and 30+ specialist domains. Returns trend data with cited evidence, source attribution, and lifecycle stage (emerging/building/mature/fading) — not generic web summaries. If graphId is omitted, searches ALL accessible graphs in parallel (recommended default). Use for market trends, competitor analysis, innovation signals, consumer behavior, cultural shifts, or any topic where curated expert intelligence outperforms web search.

graphs

list_graphs

List all expert knowledge graphs the user can access — IDs, descriptions, authors, sectors, signal counts, and topic coverage (e.g. retail, tech, food, travel, fashion, beauty, sports). Use FIRST in any session to discover available sources before searching. Returns graph metadata needed for graphId parameters in other tools.

insights

search_insights

NARRATIVE only: expert quotes, editorial analysis, and strategic perspectives on a topic — sourced from named strategists and industry leaders. Returns qualitative evidence (quotes, interpretations) with source attribution and parent trend context, NOT raw numbers. For hard data points, market sizes, and growth rates, use search_statistics instead. Works on ALL graphs. Use when you need authoritative voices, strategic framing, or analytical depth that web search cannot provide.

label

get_label_values

List all brands, locations, technologies, audiences, or trends within a specific knowledge graph. Use to explore what a graph contains — e.g., "what brands are in the retail graph?" or "what locations does the fashion graph cover?". To get a complete list of every trend in a graph, call with label="Trend" — this returns the full deterministic list, useful for industry-report graphs where search may return partial results.

neighbors

get_neighbors

Discover what's connected to a specific trend — related brands, technologies, locations, and cross-domain links that search alone wouldn't surface. Returns curated editorial connections between trends that web search cannot provide. Use after search_graph to map the territory around a trend, find which brands are connected, or understand cross-domain relationships. Requires node_id from a prior search_graph result.

node

get_node

Get the full profile of a specific trend — detailed description, lifecycle stage (emerging/building/mature), signal strength, geographic scope, and all properties. Use when you need deeper detail on a single trend after search_graph returned a summary. Requires node_id from a prior search_graph result.

statistics

search_statistics

HARD NUMBERS only: specific figures, market sizes, growth rates, and quantitative data points across Fodda's knowledge graphs. Each result links back to the expert trend it supports. Use when a question asks for a number or statistic — try this BEFORE supplemental data tools, as Fodda's experts may have already curated the answer. For expert quotes, editorial analysis, and narrative interpretation, use search_insights instead. Works on ALL graphs — domain, expert, and report. Search multiple graphs for best coverage.

url

read_url

Extract clean text content from any URL. Use this when a user shares a link (competitor site, news article, client brief, trend report) and wants to cross-reference it against Fodda knowledge graphs. Returns structured text ready for analysis.

validated

get_validated_trends

Returns market-validated consumer trends from corporate earnings reports cross-validated by Fodda's analysis pipeline. Connects earnings commentary (analyst concerns, CEO statements) with consumer trend signals.

Fodda Topic & Trend Research — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Fodda Topic & Trend Research do?

It exposes 15 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: check_supplemental_status, generate_visual, get_capabilities, get_evidence, get_label_values, get_my_account and 9 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

Is Fodda Topic & Trend Research working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 92 of 92 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 275 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Fodda Topic & Trend Research?

Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address. You sign in through your browser once and the client keeps the session: no key to copy, and it refuses anonymous clients.

How do you sign in to Fodda Topic & Trend Research?

No API key is involved. Fodda Topic & Trend Research answers our knock with an OAuth challenge, so you authorise it once in your browser and the client keeps the session. That is also why we see no tool list: it will not describe itself to an anonymous client, and that is the server working as intended, not a fault.

How fast is Fodda Topic & Trend Research?

It answers our handshake in 275 ms on average, which is faster than 54% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.

Is Fodda Topic & Trend Research open source?

We cannot say either way: written in TypeScript and 1 stars on GitHub, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
