Foursquare

Foursquare MCP Connector for Claude

A+

Empower location intelligence via Foursquare — search millions of places, retrieve rich venue details and photos, and discover nearby POIs directly from any AI agent.

10 tools Official Updated Jun 28, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

Connect your Foursquare account to any AI agent and take full control of your geospatial intelligence and place discovery workflows through natural conversation.

What you can do

  • Place Discovery Orchestration — Identify bounded routing spaces inside the headless Foursquare POI graph and extract explicitly attached REST arrays targeting specific search queries near any GPS pin
  • Rich Metadata Inspection — Perform structural extraction of properties driving active node schemas, retrieving mega-document payloads including hours, ratings, and precise mapping arrays natively
  • Visual & Social Auditing — Retrieve explicit cloud logging tracing media URL limits to compile dynamic image URLs and capture raw text sentiments left by humans to track venue quality
  • Geospatial Intelligence — Execute immediate queries within custom drawn multi-point geometries or specific radius boundaries to find what exists physically adjacent to any target
  • Precise Venue Matching — Dispatch automated validation checks routing explicit duplication logic to force Foursquare to confidently return exactly one node for ambiguous strings
  • Intelligent Autocomplete — Provision highly-available JSON payloads generating fast typeaheads by querying partial letters to predict user intent natively
  • Taxonomy Oversight — Enumerate explicitly attached structured rules exporting the entire official Foursquare classification tree to resolve internal type codes flawlessly

How it works

Show me user tips for 'The Met Museum'

Retrieving tips... Visitors recommend: 'Go early to avoid crowds', 'Don't miss the Egyptian wing', and 'The rooftop view is incredible'. I found 50+ detailed tips for your visit.

Yes. Use the 'search_within_polygon' tool. Provide a coordinate string representing the multi-point geometry. The agent will analyze the localized boundaries and restrict the POI lookup strictly inside that drawn area.
