Install

Use the official CrewAI MCP adapter shipped in crewai-tools:

pip install "crewai-tools[mcp]" crewai

Use Trends MCP as CrewAI tools

import os
from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew
from crewai_tools import MCPServerAdapter

server_params = {
    "url": "https://api.trendsmcp.ai/mcp",
    "transport": "streamable-http",
    "headers": {"Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['TRENDS_MCP_API_KEY']}"},
}

with MCPServerAdapter(server_params) as trends_tools:
    analyst = Agent(
        role="Trend Analyst",
        goal="Find rising topics across search and social platforms",
        backstory="Senior analyst with a nose for early signals.",
        tools=trends_tools,
    )

    task = Task(
        description=(
            "Compare 1 year YouTube vs TikTok trends for 'Stanley cup'."
            " Return a 3 bullet summary with the deltas."
        ),
        expected_output="Three bullet points with growth percentages.",
        agent=analyst,
    )

    crew = Crew(agents=[analyst], tasks=[task])
    result = crew.kickoff()
    print(result)

Set the API key in your shell:

export TRENDS_MCP_API_KEY=YOUR_API_KEY

The exact CrewAI MCP API can evolve, see docs.crewai.com for the current reference.

Use the REST API directly

If you prefer not to use the MCP adapter, you can wrap the REST API as a custom CrewAI BaseTool:

import requests
from crewai_tools import BaseTool

class TrendsTool(BaseTool):
    name: str = "Get Trend"
    description: str = "Get a 5 year trend for a keyword on a given source."

    def _run(self, source: str, keyword: str) -> dict:
        return requests.post(
            "https://api.trendsmcp.ai/api",
            headers={"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"},
            json={"source": source, "keyword": keyword},
            timeout=30,
        ).json()

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.

All data sources in one connection

One API key gives your CrewAI agents every keyword source and every live feed below.

Keyword sources (Get Trends and Get Growth)

| source | What it measures | Keyword format | | --- | --- | --- | | google search | Google search volume | Any keyword or phrase | | google images | Google image search volume | Any keyword or phrase | | google news | Google News search volume | Any keyword or phrase | | google shopping | Google Shopping search volume | Any keyword or phrase | | youtube | YouTube search volume | Any keyword or phrase | | tiktok | TikTok hashtag volume | Hashtag or topic | | reddit | Subreddit subscribers | Subreddit name only, no r/ prefix | | amazon | Amazon product search volume | Product name or category | | wikipedia | Wikipedia page views | Article title or topic | | news volume | News article mention volume | Any keyword or phrase | | news sentiment | News sentiment score (positive / negative) | Any keyword or phrase | | app downloads | Mobile app download estimates (Android) | Package id or app identifier | | npm | npm package weekly downloads | Exact package name e.g. react | | steam | Steam concurrent players (monthly) | Game display name e.g. Elden Ring |

All values are normalized to a 0 to 100 scale where the pipeline supports it, so you can compare different sources directly.
