Connect Cursor in 30 seconds

Open Cursor Settings → Tools & MCP → Add a Custom MCP Server, then paste:

"trends-mcp": {

  "transport": "http",
  "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" }
}

Config file location:

• Mac / Linux: ~/.cursor/mcp.json
• Windows: %USERPROFILE%\.cursor\mcp.json

You can also use the Add to Cursor button on trendsmcp.ai, which opens the MCP install prompt directly in Cursor.

Restart Cursor after saving the config.

What you can ask Cursor

Once connected, talk to the agent in plain English. Include the phrase "using TrendsMCP" or "via TrendsMCP" so it routes to the MCP instead of doing a web search.

• "Using TrendsMCP, plot the npm download trend for langchain, llamaindex, and haystack over the last year, then write the chart code."
• "Via TrendsMCP, get the GitHub Trending Repos for today and summarise the top 5 in a markdown table."
• "Using TrendsMCP, compare Steam concurrent players for Elden Ring vs Baldur's Gate 3, then suggest a SQL schema to track this."
• "Via TrendsMCP, fetch news sentiment for OpenAI over 90 days and dump the JSON into a fixture file."
• "Using TrendsMCP, what are the trending hashtags on TikTok right now? Pick three and draft tweet copy."
• "Via TrendsMCP, show me Wikipedia page views for Bitcoin weekly, then write a Python notebook to backtest a momentum signal."

Three tools your AI gets

• get_trends, historical time series for any keyword on any source (5 years weekly, 30 days daily where supported).
• get_growth, percentage change over any period (7D, 1M, 3M, 6M, 1Y, YTD, custom dates).
• get_top_trends, what is trending right now across live platform feeds.
