Available components
How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically against the live server, and we only credit what we can confirm. How we score → Why this is hard to score →
Endpoint Security74
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- No authorisation is required to call this server. Every tool declares its destructiveHint and none is destructive, so open access doesn't expose one. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Partial
- HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path. View diagnostics → Pass
- HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
Transport & Reachability100
- Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake. View diagnostics → Pass
Schema Quality & AI Usability63
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1803 tokens (~450/item across 4 items; 4 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management100
- No destabilizing schema changes in the last 30 days.Pass
Tool Coverage100
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 100% of tool parameters carry a description.Pass
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 4 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 4 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities40
- Spec-recency check failed: implements MCP spec 2025-03-26; the latest is 2026-07-28. See how to fix → Fail
How do I install the Wikipedia Trends API MCP server?
Wikipedia Trends API is a hosted endpoint at https://wikipedia.api.trendsapi.ai/mcp, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

trends___get_growth ~598
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.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| keyword | string | yes | What to look up. The string format is required by source. Standard sources (google search, google images, google news, google shopping, youtube, wikipedia, tiktok, reddit, amazon, news sentiment, new… |
| percent_growth | array | – | Growth windows. Default if omitted: ['12M']. Each item must be a preset string: '7D', '1W', '14D', '2W', '30D', '1M', '2M', '3M', '6M', '9M', '12M', '1Y', '18M', '24M', '2Y', '36M', '3Y', '48M', '4Y'… |

trends___get_time_series ~387
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.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |

trends___get_top_posts ~150
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.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| keyword | string | yes | The hashtag, with or without '#'. Spaces are removed. Example: 'bookstagram' or '#fitness'. |
| limit | integer | – | Max posts to return. Default 20, min 1, max 20. |
| source | string | yes | Exactly one source per request. Valid: 'tiktok', 'instagram'. |
No output schema declared.

trends___get_top_trends ~668
Live top-trending board for exactly one feed type. No keyword. For 'Amazon Best Sellers by Category', 'Google Trends 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.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
