Which MCP Server Should You Choose?
Choose Unity MCP when:
You need dedicated capabilities in the Gaming domain.
You prefer local stdio subprocess transport architecture.
Your security boundary fits: OAuth 2.0 (Free / Open Source).
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.
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).
Unity MCP is categorized under Gaming and uses a local stdio subprocess. In contrast, Steam Trends MCP belongs to Gaming using remote streaming HTTP/SSE transport. Select Unity MCP when you need capabilities focused on gaming and Steam Trends MCP when you require tools for gaming.
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).
