ContentRadar MCP Server

MCP server that gives AI agents real-time content intelligence. One tool call returns a complete content brief with scored opportunities, content gaps, and actionable recommendations from 5 live sources.

What it does

The contentradar_brief tool takes a topic and returns:

• Scored content angles — ranked by cross-platform convergence
• Content gaps — topics with high demand but little existing content
• Suggested topics — with competition level and format recommendations
• People Also Ask — real questions from Google
• Autocomplete keywords — long-tail suggestions
• YouTube insights — top videos with view counts
• Reddit discussions — active posts with engagement scores
• Google Trends — interest direction + rising queries
• AI-synthesized recommendations — specific content pieces to create
