This one has been quiet for a while

Quiet is not dead — but it is worth knowing when it wakes up, or when someone else takes it over. We watch the repository and tell you either way.

Available tools 6

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

trends

trends___get_context

What people are posting, reading and betting about a keyword right now. Returns recent posts, videos, news stories, discussions and prediction markets per source, with engagement (views, likes, score) and top comments. Use it to explain why something is trending or what the conversation says; get_time_series and get_growth measure how much. Costs 1 request per source. Returns a plan-limit message when the request is rate limited or the monthly quota is used up.

trends___get_growth

Point-to-point growth for a keyword on one or more sources. Each window is a preset string (12M, 3M, YTD, and the other listed periods). Values are on a 0-100 scale, plus absolute volume when available. Designed for growth questions; for charting or custom math, get_time_series provides the full series. App Downloads and App Rankings are keyword sources (Android bundle ID). They are not the App Store / Google Play live boards on get_top_trends. Returns a plan-limit message when the request is rate limited or the monthly quota is used up.

trends___get_time_series

Full historical series for one keyword and one source (0-100 values, plus volume when available). Suited for charting or custom math. Live 'what's trending now' boards are on get_top_trends. get_growth answers most growth questions with less data. Returns a plan-limit message when the request is rate limited or the monthly quota is used up.

trends___get_top_posts

Live top posts for one hashtag on one social source. Fetched live on every call; nothing is stored. For when the user already has a hashtag and wants the posts winning on it. get_top_trends ranks the hashtags themselves. Returns a plan-limit message when the request is rate limited or the monthly quota is used up.

trends___get_top_trends

Live top-trending board for exactly one feed type. No keyword. For 'Amazon Best Sellers by Category', 'Google Trends by Category', 'Pinterest Trending by Category', 'Top Websites', 'Substack by Category', and 'TikTok Trending Hashtags by Category', category selects the board. Default sort is current rank. Use sort='rank_change' for climbers vs a prior snapshot (window 1d, 3d, 7d, 14d, or 30d). If the requested board is not in the database yet (for example a country that is not collected on the schedule), the board is fetched live. App Store Top Free, App Store Top Paid, and Google Play are live store boards, not keyword lookups. App history is available via get_growth or get_time_series with source App Downloads or App Rankings and an Android bundle ID. Live boards are only available here, not via get_time_series. Returns a plan-limit message when the request is rate limited or the monthly quota is used up.

trends___get_usage

Shows your plan, requests used this month, requests left, and when it resets. Free: does not use a request. Call it when the user asks about their limit or after a limit error.

YouTube Trends MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can YouTube Trends MCP do?

It exposes 6 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: trends___get_context, trends___get_growth, trends___get_time_series, trends___get_top_posts, trends___get_top_trends, trends___get_usage. 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 YouTube Trends MCP working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 459 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

Is YouTube Trends MCP still maintained?

The linked repository no longer exists on GitHub — it was deleted or made private. We show this because it changes what you can expect: an unmaintained server may keep answering for months and then stop without warning.

How do I connect YouTube Trends MCP?

Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does YouTube Trends MCP need an API key?

No. YouTube Trends MCP completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 6 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is YouTube Trends MCP?

It answers our handshake in 459 ms on average, which is faster than 27% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
