Which MCP Server Should You Choose?
Choose TikTok Trends MCP when:
You need dedicated capabilities in the Social Media domain.
You prefer remote streaming HTTP/SSE transport architecture.
Your security boundary fits: No auth required (Free / Open Source).
TikTok hashtag volume over time, with growth for any hashtag. Free key at trendsmcp.ai
Schedule and manage social media posts across 10 platforms (Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, X, LinkedIn, YouTube, Threads, Pinterest, Bluesky, Telegram) from any MCP-compatible AI assistant.
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).
Postfast MCP Tools (24)
list_accounts
List connected social media accounts (each with `connectionStatus` — `CONNECTED`/`DISABLED` — `disabledReason`, `followerCount`/`followerCountUpdatedAt`, and `inboxCapable`)
list_posts
