Npm Trends MCP
Have your agent fetch npm weekly download trends over time so you can see which packages and ecosystems are gaining traction before you standardize your stack.
Overview
npm Trends MCP is a MCP server for the Idea phase that gives your agent npm package download trends and weekly download history over time.
What is this MCP server?
- npm package trend and weekly download time series via npm.api.trendsmcp.ai
- Streamable HTTP MCP with required Bearer Authorization
- Free API key at trendsmcp.ai
- Published server version 1.0.3
- Pairs with other TrendsMCP sources for cross-channel validation
- Remote MCP version 1.0.3
- Endpoint host npm.api.trendsmcp.ai
- Required Authorization Bearer (free key at trendsmcp.ai)
What problem does it solve?
Choosing npm dependencies from stars and blog posts alone hides whether weekly installs are actually growing or stalling.
Who is it for?
Solo TS/JS builders comparing libraries, scaffolding CLIs, or validating that an npm-first product idea rides a growing package category.
Skip if: Python-only stacks, proprietary registries, or teams that need vulnerability scanning instead of download momentum.
What do I get? / Deliverables
Once configured, your agent can pull download trend series for packages you name and support stack decisions with up-to-date adoption curves.
- Weekly npm download trends for specified packages
- Comparative momentum notes the agent can embed in ADRs or research docs
- Agent-ready queries without manual npmtrends visits
Recommended MCP Servers
Journey fit
Stack and dependency choices start in Idea and Discover when you map what builders actually adopt; download trends reduce guesswork about library momentum. Discover is the subphase for scanning tools and ecosystems; npm download curves are a direct signal for JavaScript/TypeScript builders picking libraries or CLI foundations.
How it compares
Registry download analytics over MCP, not a skill that refactors your package.json.
