Analytics & Data
What the Foursquare connector can do
Foursquare's places data covers venues, categories, photos, and user tips worldwide. With a Foursquare connection in a type.com Space, the agent can search for places near a location, pull a venue's full details, grab its photos, or read user tips, which helps teams research locations for site selection, local marketing, or travel planning in one thread.

FAQ
Questions people ask before connecting Foursquare
Can Claude pull location data from Foursquare?
Yes. With a Foursquare connection shared to a Space, the agent can search, retrieve venue details, photos, and tips in a thread, visible to everyone on the team.
What does Foursquare need to authenticate in type.com?
Foursquare uses an API key, added once by an admin during setup. The admin then decides which Spaces can use that connection.
Can Foursquare searches run automatically?
Yes. A weekly or monthly scan of venues in a target area can run as a type.com automation that posts findings to a channel.
Is this the same as a Foursquare MCP server?
Not exactly. type.com uses connectors and connections to give selected Spaces access to approved app tools and data. Some connectors use hosted MCP, while others use OAuth, API keys, service accounts, or custom APIs.
