What It Does
PeepTrend gives AI agents focused tools for gaming creator research:
- Check YouTube channel name and handle conflicts.
- Check YouTube video titles against recent videos, demand, competition, and velocity.
- Check YouTube shelf saturation for gaming topics.
- Check gaming niches and small-channel fit.
- Check Steam update opportunities before the shelf fills.
- Check whether a Steam game fits a YouTube channel.
- Pull PeepTrend opportunity feeds and full reports when connected to a PeepTrend account.
- Generate creator ideas, save workflow status, and send feedback when the account has subscription access.
PeepTrend accounts can create API keys for MCP clients. Some tools are available to try with a free account; full reports, generated ideas, workflow actions, alerts, and higher usage are available from PeepTrend plans.
Install
Codex:
codex plugin marketplace add PeepTrend/PeepTrend.MCP
codex plugin add peeptrend-youtube-gaming-trend-finder@peeptrend
Claude Code:
claude plugin marketplace add PeepTrend/PeepTrend.MCP
claude plugin install peeptrend-youtube-gaming-trend-finder@peeptrend
Generic MCP clients:
npm install -g peeptrend-mcp
Or run it directly:
npx -y peeptrend-mcp
Running the command manually prints setup instructions. In normal use, your AI client starts this package as an MCP server and communicates with it over stdio.
Configure
Create an API key in PeepTrend:
- Create or log in to your PeepTrend account.
- Open Profile.
- Create an API key under AI integrations.
- Add it to your MCP client as
PEEPTREND_API_KEY.
Example MCP config:
{
"mcpServers": {
"peeptrend": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "peeptrend-mcp"],
"env": {
"PEEPTREND_API_KEY": "pt_key_from_profile"
}
}
}
}
An API key is recommended. It connects MCP requests to your PeepTrend account and enables account features when available.
Without an API key, public free checks can still run with public limits. Full opportunity feeds, reports, generated ideas, saved plans, alerts, account-aware limits, and subscription features need PEEPTREND_API_KEY.
Check Status
npx -y peeptrend-mcp --doctor
Use --stdio only when a tool or MCP client explicitly asks for the raw MCP server process.
