HasData Yelp tools (3)

write = sends, deletes, buys or posts
  • hasdata_yelp_place_getPlaceDetailsFree

    Get Yelp Place Details Fetches a single Yelp business by Yelp ID or alias with domain targeting. Returns name, address, phone, website, price range, categories, overall rating, review count, hours, amenities, photos, and highlighted reviews. Use to enrich leads or listings with verified Yelp metadata, monitor a competitor's rating and review count over time, or validate hours/amenities before displaying venue details to end users.

  • hasdata_yelp_reviews_getPlaceReviewsFree

    Get Yelp Place Reviews Fetches the review feed of a single Yelp business by Yelp ID, with sorting (relevance, date, rating, elites), filtering by star rating, language and free-text query, and cursor pagination. To page, either step `start` by `num`, or resend the `pagination.nextPageToken` of the previous response as the `nextPageToken` parameter, keeping the other filters unchanged, until `pagination.hasNextPage` is false. The response reports the page it returned as `pagination.start` and `pagination.num`, matching the parameter names. Each review returns the author profile (name, location, review/friend/photo counts, Elite status), full text with language, star rating, timestamp, attached photos and videos, reader reactions, review tags (check-ins, first review, reservation and payment flags) and the owner reply when present. The response also carries the business review totals broken down by rating and by language. Use to monitor customer sentiment over time, mine complaints for a competitor, track how a business responds to negative reviews, or build rating-distribution and review-velocity datasets.

  • hasdata_yelp_search_getSearchResultsFree

    Get Yelp Search Results Runs a Yelp business search by keyword and location with optional map-bounded radius via the `l` parameter (g:lon1,lat1,lon2,lat2), domain targeting, and offset-based pagination. Returns a ranked list of businesses with Yelp alias/ID, name, categories, rating, review count, price tier, and thumbnail. Use the returned aliases as input to the Yelp Place endpoint for full details, to power local-discovery UIs, or to build market-share/competitor datasets for a niche in a given geography.

Yelp MCP Server

<!-- mcp-name: com.hasdata/yelp -->

A hosted Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that gives Claude, Cursor, Windsurf and any other MCP client three read-only Yelp tools. Search businesses by keyword and location, read one business in full, and page through its complete review feed, all as structured JSON, with no Yelp Fusion key and nothing to host.

It reads public Yelp pages that a signed-out visitor can see, on any of the 41 regional domains.

1,000 free credits every month, no card required, which is 100 Yelp calls at the 10-credit rate.

What you need

An MCP client and a HasData API key from the dashboard, free to create with no card, and the free tier covers about 100 calls a month at the 10-credit rate. This is a remote server, so the simplest path is a URL and an x-api-key header, with no container to run. A client that only speaks stdio reaches it through a thin launcher, published as @hasdata/yelp-mcp on npm and hasdata-yelp-mcp on PyPI, shown below.

Quick start

The server URL is the same for every client. We run it hands-on in Claude Code and Claude Desktop. The other blocks follow each client's own documented format for a remote server.

Clients with OAuth support can add the same URL as a connector and sign in without putting a key in a config file.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http yelp "https://mcp.hasdata.com/api/mcp?apis=yelp" \
  --header "x-api-key: HASDATA_API_KEY"

Claude Desktop

Settings, then Connectors, then Add custom connector, then paste https://mcp.hasdata.com/api/mcp?apis=yelp and sign in.

For the config-file route, Claude Desktop loads only local (stdio) servers, so it reaches a remote server through a stdio launcher. The @hasdata/yelp-mcp package is that launcher, and it reads the key from the environment. Add this to claudedesktopconfig.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "yelp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@hasdata/yelp-mcp"],
      "env": { "HASDATA_API_KEY": "YOUR_KEY" }
    }
  }
}

For Python instead of Node, swap the launcher for the PyPI package, which uvx runs without a manual install:
