What you can do with Foursquare

Each of these is one operation on one endpoint, available both as a workflow step and as a tool an AI agent can call on its own. Nothing bundles several operations into one action, so what a run did stays readable afterwards.

Most endpoints run on the free plan. A few, mainly the ones that publish on your behalf, need a paid plan.

Place, 4 operations

  • GETget_place

    Retrieves detailed information about a place including hours, ratings, and contact info.

  • GETmatch_places

    Finds the Foursquare place that matches a given name and location.

  • GETnearby_places

    Discovers places in the immediate vicinity of a location using Snap to Place technology.

  • GETsearch_places

    Searches for places near a location with filtering by category, query, and open status.

Autocomplete, 1 operation

  • GETautocomplete

    Provides typeahead suggestions for place names, addresses, and search queries.

Category, 1 operation

  • GETget_categories

    Retrieves the complete Foursquare category taxonomy for places.

Photo, 1 operation

  • GETget_place_photos

    Retrieves photos of a place with metadata and various size options.

Tip, 1 operation

  • GETget_place_tips

    Retrieves user tips and reviews for a place.

Foursquare API rate limits

  • 50,000 requests per day

Rate limits vary by plan

These are the limits Foursquare documents, not ones LiveContext measured. They can change and often depend on your plan, so check the Foursquare documentation for current values.

Use Foursquare from Claude Code, Cursor or Codex

Connect Foursquare in LiveContext, create an API key in Settings, then add the LiveContext MCP server to your client. Its Foursquare operations become tools the client can call, next to every other integration you connected.

Claude Code
claude mcp add --transport http livecontext https://livecontext.ai/mcp --header "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY"
Codex (~/.codex/config.toml)
[mcp_servers.livecontext]
url = "https://livecontext.ai/mcp"

[mcp_servers.livecontext.http_headers]
"X-API-Key" = "YOUR_API_KEY"
Cursor, Claude Desktop and other JSON configs
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "livecontext": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://livecontext.ai/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "X-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Set up the MCP server step by step

How to connect Foursquare

  1. Create your workspace

    Sign up free. Nothing to install.

  2. Connect Foursquare once

    Add your Foursquare connection in Settings. Every tool from this integration reuses it, and secrets are encrypted at rest and visible only to you.

  3. Describe the job in chat

    The workflow builds itself in front of you and picks the endpoints it needs. Drag the steps yourself on the canvas whenever you would rather be explicit.
