Views lie. × usual doesn't.
A million views on a huge account is a normal Tuesday. 7.8M on an account that usually gets 272K is a format worth stealing.

Questions
What is HookTrend?
HookTrend finds the TikTok and YouTube videos breaking out in any niche: the ones getting many times their creator's usual views. You can use it in its own app or inside Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and n8n through its MCP server. It is the trend research tool of the Hooked suite.
What does “× usual” mean?
Views divided by the creator's usual views per video. A video at 40× usual got forty times what that account normally gets, so small creators who found something show up, not just big accounts doing big numbers.
Can Claude or ChatGPT find TikTok trends?
Not on their own: they only know what has been written about trends. Add HookTrend once (it takes a minute at hooktrend.com/mcp), then ask “what's breaking out in fitness this week?” and the answer comes back as real videos with their × usual.
How do I find viral TikTok videos in my niche?
Compare each video with its creator's usual views, not with raw views. A 40,000-view video from a 2,000-view account tells you more than a million views from a big account. HookTrend scores every video that way: search your niche on this page (free, no account), ask your AI, or start an agent that keeps watching.
Is there a TikTok trends API or MCP?
Yes. Developers can connect to HookTrend's MCP server at https://hooktrend.com/api/mcp with OAuth or an API key. Library tools are free with a daily cap, and paid tools quote their cost before they run. The full reference is at hooktrend.com/docs/mcp.
HookTrend vs Virlo: what's the difference?
Three things. Your first results show up in seconds, because HookTrend searches a library it refreshes every night instead of starting from zero. A credit costs the same in the app and in your AI, and reading the library costs nothing. And plans start at $29 with about 66 agent runs a month, where Virlo's start at $49 with about 20.
Why no Instagram?
We chose depth over coverage. On TikTok and YouTube (Shorts and long-form) we can read every video properly: its sound, its slides, its hook and how its creator usually performs. Doing Instagram half-well would make every number on this page less trustworthy.
Do I need a card to start?
No. The free plan gives you 50 credits a month, 1 research agent that runs weekly and the library tools in the app and inside your AI (25 reads a day). The search on this page needs no account at all. You add a card only when you upgrade.
Next week's breakouts are posting right now.
