How has interest in "mcp server" moved over the last year in the US?
Fifty-three weekly points, from the week of 31 August 2025 to now.
Each point carries the date, a unix timestamp and an isPartial flag, so the current unfinished week is marked rather than silently low.

Which US states search for "mcp server" most?
Fifty-one regions, and the leader is not California.
Wyoming 100 · Kansas 47 · Washington 44 · California 34 · Massachusetts 32
The scale is relative to the top region, so Wyoming leads per head of population rather than in absolute searches.

What topics does Google associate with "mcp server"?
Topics are entities, not strings, so each one carries a type.
Top: Model Context Protocol 100, Server (Computing) 93, 2026 30
Rising is noisier: Reuters as Breakout, National Health Service at +4,800%. Entity matching pulls in news coverage that shares the acronym.

FAQ
Before you wire it in
Do I need a Google account or API key?
No. The only credential is your HasData key. The tool reads the public Google Trends pages a signed-out visitor sees.
Are the numbers actual search volumes?
No, and this is the single most common misreading. Google Trends returns a relative index where 100 is the peak of the period you asked for. A value of 50 means half the peak, not fifty searches. For absolute volume you need a keyword tool, not Trends.
Why did the curve change when I changed the date range?
Because the index is rescaled to whatever window you request. The same week can read 40 over five years and 100 over three months. Compare curves only when they were pulled with the same <code>date</code>.
Can I get YouTube or Google News trends instead of web search?
Yes. Pass <code>gprop</code> as <code>youtube</code>, <code>news</code>, <code>images</code> or <code>froogle</code> for Shopping. Leave it out for web search.
How fresh is the data? Is anything cached?
Every tool call fetches the page at that moment. Trends itself lags by a day or two on the most recent bucket, which is Google’s own behaviour rather than ours.
How many calls can run in parallel?
One on the free tier, five on Startup, fifteen on Basic, and fifty on Growth. The larger Growth volumes raise it to 200, 300 and 500.
What happens when I run out of credits?
Nothing is charged on top of the plan. Calls stop until the billing cycle renews.
Does it work with Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code and Claude Code?
Yes, all four, plus anything else that speaks MCP over streamable HTTP. Claude Desktop connects through OAuth, and the rest take the URL and an API key header.
Is HasData affiliated with Google?
No. HasData is an independent service and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Google LLC. Google Trends is a trademark of its respective owner.
