Wikipedia Trends MCP Tools (3)
get_time_series
Weekly (or daily) history for **one** `source` + `keyword`. Same name on MCP and REST (`mode: "get_time_series"`). REST also accepts `get_trends` as an alias.
get_growth
Point-to-point percent change. Several windows in one call still count as **one** request for that source + keyword.
get_top_trends
Live ranked list. **No keyword.** On MCP, `type` is required and must match the feed name **exactly** (including capitals). On REST, omit `type` only if you intend to pull every feed (billed per feed).
Ready-to-Paste Client Configurations
Paste either (or both) of these JSON server blocks into your client config file (e.g. claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json).
Formio MCP is categorized under Developer Tools and uses a local stdio subprocess. In contrast, Wikipedia Trends MCP belongs to Developer Tools using remote streaming HTTP/SSE transport. Select Formio MCP when you need capabilities focused on developer tools and Wikipedia Trends MCP when you require tools for developer tools.
