npm Trends MCP is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server: npm package trends and weekly downloads over time. Free key at trendsmcp.ai. In practice that means any MCP-compatible AI assistant can call npm Trends MCP's tools directly — the model decides when to use them in a conversation or agent run.
It's a hosted (remote) server — point your client at https://npm.api.trendsmcp.ai/mcp and you're connected, with nothing to install locally. The current release is v1.0.6, published under the MIT license, with source at trendsmcp-ai/npm-trends-mcp on GitHub.
npm Trends MCP is listed under Development on mcp.site and works with any MCP client — Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed and the rest of the ecosystem — using the install snippets below.
