## About
TrendPulse reads Google News RSS feeds and Google Trends data. You can search news by keyword, location, topic or publisher site, fetch top stories, and extract the text of an article. On the trends side it returns interest over time, keyword growth, ranked and trending terms, regional interest, related queries and topics, autocomplete suggestions and category lists.
It runs locally over stdio from the PyPI package with uvx mcp-trendpulse, so uv is required. No API key or sign-in is documented. Article extraction can fall back to Playwright with Chromium, which needs a separate playwright install chromium step. The hosted DigestSEO edition mentioned in the README is not released.
