Foursquare integration for multiplayer collaboration with AI agents using Claude Code or Codex

One governed connection your whole team and its AI agents can share, with approved actions and human review, so working in Foursquare never means pasting credentials into a prompt.

Use Foursquare from Claude Code

Bring Foursquare context into engineering work while Type keeps app access attached to the teammate and workspace.

Automate Foursquare with Codex

Let coding agents ask for the right app action, preserve conversation context, and keep humans in the approval loop.

Connect open agent workflows

Use Type as the collaboration layer around OpenClaw and other LLM workflows that need app access.

Analytics & Data

What the Foursquare integration exposes

Foursquare provides location-based search and discovery, offering detailed venue information, place recommendations, and geospatial data for businesses and points of interest worldwide

One connection, many teammates

Connect Foursquare once, then decide which teammates can use it for threads, automations, skills, and coding work.

Representative actions

  • Retrieve nearby places v3

    The GetNearbyPlaces endpoint retrieves a list of places near a specified location, primarily supporting check-in use cases and local discovery. It returns points of interest (POIs) including lower quality results not found in the standard Place Search, enhancing location-based experiences with additional data like photos, reviews, and tips. This endpoint is ideal for applications seeking to provide users with a comprehensive view of their surroundings, including less prominent or newer locations. While it offers a broader range of results, it may sacrifice some precision compared to more focused search endpoints. Use this when you want to offer users a diverse array of nearby options, particularly for social check-in features or exploratory local recommendations.

  • Retrieve place photos by id

    Retrieves photos associated with a specific place in Foursquare's database. This endpoint allows you to access user-generated images for a particular point of interest (POI) using its unique Foursquare ID (fsq_id). It's useful for enhancing your application with visual content related to locations, such as restaurants, landmarks, or businesses. The endpoint returns photo data that can be used to construct image URLs for display. Keep in mind that the number and quality of photos may vary depending on the popularity and user engagement of the place. This tool should be used when you need to display or analyze visual information about a specific location in your application.

  • Retrieve places by id

    Retrieves detailed information about a specific place using its unique Foursquare ID (FSQ ID). This endpoint provides comprehensive data about a venue, including its name, address, category, ratings, tips, photos, and other relevant information. It's particularly useful when you need in-depth details about a known location, such as for displaying venue profiles or gathering specific place attributes. The endpoint should be used when you have a valid FSQ ID and require the most up-to-date and complete information about that place. Note that this endpoint focuses on individual place details and does not provide search functionality or lists of multiple venues.

  • Retrieve place tips using fsq id

    Retrieves user-generated tips for a specific place in the Foursquare database. This endpoint allows you to fetch valuable insights and experiences shared by Foursquare users about a particular venue. It's useful for enhancing location-based applications with real user feedback, helping users make informed decisions about places they might visit. The endpoint returns a list of tips, which may include information such as the tip text, the user who created it, and potentially a timestamp or rating.

  • Search places api request

    The GetPlacesSearch endpoint allows you to search for places in the Foursquare database based on various criteria such as location, keywords, and categories. This tool is ideal for discovering nearby points of interest or finding specific venues. It returns a list of places matching the specified parameters, providing essential information about each location. Use this endpoint for location-based features or gathering venue information in a specific area.

FAQ

Questions people ask before connecting Foursquare

Can Claude Code use Foursquare?

Yes. Type lets an AI teammate use connected Foursquare actions from a governed workspace context, so Claude Code work can reference the app without copying credentials into a local prompt.

Can Codex work with Foursquare through Type?

Yes. Codex can collaborate through Type with app context, skills, and approved actions. The Foursquare catalog entry includes public integration details and example capabilities where available.

Is this the same as a Foursquare MCP server?

Type exposes connected app capabilities to AI teammates and coding agents through Type's integration layer. Teams use it when they want shared app access, human review, and teammate-level permissions around agent work.
