TrendForge MCP Server

Install once, then ask Claude, Cursor, or Codex which game to record next — without leaving the chat. Your AI assistant queries TrendForge's live ranking directly: opportunity scores, game breakdowns, and live shelf checks.

Install in one command

No API key needed to browse. Add TrendForge to your AI client's MCP config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "trendforge": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "trendforge-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Free: ranking names, opportunity scores, and game summaries — no account needed.Creator Pro ($12/mo): unlocks full breakdowns — sub-scores, risk flags, and AI video ideas. Subscribe, then generate your MCP token and add it:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "trendforge": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "trendforge-mcp"],
      "env": { "TRENDFORGE_TOKEN": "your-token-here" }
    }
  }
}

What your assistant can do

list_opportunities

Top games right now, ranked by opportunity (Demand / Supply / Timing). Ask 'what should I play this week?'

get_game

One game's scores, summary and related games (free); full breakdown — risk flags and AI video ideas — with a Creator Pro token. Ask 'give me video ideas for Palworld.'

check_topic

Live YouTube shelf check on any game or query. Ask 'is a Hades 2 beginner guide worth making for a sub-1K channel?'

Install per client

Claude Desktop

Settings → Developer → Edit Config, then add to claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "trendforge": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "trendforge-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Cursor

Add to .cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "trendforge": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "trendforge-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Codex CLI

Add to ~/.codex/config.toml:

[mcp_servers.trendforge]
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "trendforge-mcp"]

How it works

The server runs locally over stdio using the open Model Context Protocol. Your assistant calls TrendForge's read-only API — the same data the public ranking shows, plus the live shelf check. Nothing is written. The free tier (no account) shows ranking names, scores, and summaries; a Creator Pro token ($12/mo) unlocks full breakdowns.

Scores: opportunity = w₁·Demand + w₂·Supply + w₃·Timing (0–100 each, server-weighted). See the full methodology.
