Connects Claude to Foursquare's 2025 Places API through Pipeworx's gateway infrastructure. The server is part of a larger platform offering 673+ data sources, so you can either use the standalone Foursquare endpoint or connect to the full gateway for broader access. Configuration is straightforward with streamable HTTP transport. Instead of calling specific tools, you can use ask_pipeworx to query locations in plain English and let the gateway handle tool selection and argument mapping. Useful when you need real world place data, venue information, or location based queries without managing API keys directly. The repo doesn't list individual tools, but it's built on Foursquare's current production API.
Foursquare Places MCP — migrated to the 2025 Places API
Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 673+ live data sources.
| Tool | Description |
|---|
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"foursquare": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/foursquare/mcp"
}
}
}
Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 673+ data sources:
{
"mcpServers": {
"pipeworx": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
}
}
}
Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English:
ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Foursquare data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
