Claude Code

For the Claude Code CLI (and other header-based clients), authenticate with a personal API key instead of OAuth.

Generate a key

In SearchTheTrend: Settings → Connect your AI → Generate key. Copy the stt_... value, which is shown once.

Add the server

claude mcp add --transport http searchthetrend https://searchthetrend.com/api/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer stt_YOUR_KEY"

Add --scope user to make it available in every project.

Verify

Start a new Claude Code session and run /mcp. searchthetrend should show as connected with its tools.

Treat the key like a password: it acts as your account (saved lists, credit-spending scans). Revoke it anytime from the same settings page.
