## MCP tools (7)

### `google_trends_interest` (~141 tokens)

Google Trends interest over time for ONE keyword. Values are 0-100 relative WITHIN this single request, so they are not comparable to another call's numbers — use google_trends_compare when you need to rank terms against each other.

Input parameters:

- `geo` (string): Country or sub-region code (US, VN, US-CA). Empty = worldwide.
- `keyword` (string, required): A single search term.
- `timeframe` (string): Google's own range string: 'today 12-m', 'today 5-y', 'now 7-d', 'all', or '2025-01-01 2025-12-31'.

### `google_trends_compare` (~112 tokens)

Compare up to 5 keywords in ONE Google Trends request, so their 0-100 values ARE normalised against each other and can be ranked. Google silently drops a 6th term, so 6+ is refused rather than answered with a term missing.

Input parameters:

- `geo` (string): Country or sub-region code. Empty = worldwide.
- `keywords` (array, required): 2 to 5 search terms.
- `timeframe` (string): Google range string, e.g. 'today 12-m'.

### `google_trends_trending` (~77 tokens)

What is trending on Google right now in one country. `searchVolume` is Google's own rounded bucket (100000, 1000000), not a precise count.

Input parameters:

- `geo` (string): Two-letter country code, e.g. US, VN, GB.
- `limit` (integer): How many terms to return.

### `youtube_listing` (~130 tokens)

List videos from YouTube: a channel's Shorts tab, a channel's videos tab, or search results. Returns videoId, title, view count, and (for videos/search) a publish date. Transcripts are NOT available from this server — Google gates them behind a token this server cannot mint.

Input parameters:

- `kind` (string): Which listing to read.
- `limit` (integer): Maximum rows. Pagination stops early if the listing runs out.
- `target` (string, required): A channel (@handle, UC… id or URL) for 'shorts'/'videos'; a search query for 'search'.

### `google_ads_advertisers` (~69 tokens)

Find advertisers in Google's Ads Transparency Center by name. Returns each advertiser's id, country and Google's declared ad count — pass the id to google_ads_creatives.

Input parameters:

- `keyword` (string, required): Advertiser or brand name to search.
- `limit` (integer): How many matches to return.

### `google_ads_creatives` (~88 tokens)

Every ad an advertiser is currently running, from Google's Ads Transparency Center: creative id, format, preview URL and first/last shown dates. An advertiser with zero ads is a real answer — Google keeps advertisers whose ads have stopped running.

Input parameters:

- `advertiser` (string, required): An AR… advertiser id, or a Transparency Center URL containing one.
- `limit` (integer): Maximum ads to return.

### `google_play_reviews` (~161 tokens)

Reviews for an Android app: rating, text, date, app version, thumbs-up and the developer's reply. Reviewer names and avatars are omitted unless you ask for them. Note each language/country returns a DIFFERENT set of reviews, so vary hl/gl to widen coverage.

Input parameters:

- `app_id` (string, required): Android package name, e.g. com.spotify.music.
- `gl` (string): Country code.
- `hl` (string): Language code. Each language returns a different set of reviews.
- `include_author` (boolean): Include the reviewer's display name. Off by default: it is personal data and rarely needed for product or ASO analysis.
- `limit` (integer): Maximum reviews.
- `sort` (string): Google's own ordering.
