Yelp MCP Server FAQs
What is the Yelp MCP Server?
The Yelp MCP Server is a specialized integration that empowers your AI agents to access real-time public data from Yelp. It acts as a bridge, allowing tools like Claude, Cursor, and custom LLMs to search, extract, and interact with Yelp content dynamically.
How does the integration handle blocking and CAPTCHAs?
Built on Bright Data's robust infrastructure, the Web MCP Server handles the complexities of web data extraction behind the scenes. It automatically manages proxy rotation, CAPTCHA solving, and unlocking technology to ensure your AI receives structured, reliable data from Yelp without getting blocked.
Is the data from Yelp live or cached?
The data is completely real-time. Unlike databases that can become outdated, the Yelp MCP fetches live content directly from the source at the moment of request, ensuring your AI agents act on the most current pricing, posts, or profile information available.
Is there a free tier for the Yelp MCP?
Yes! We offer a generous free tier that includes 5,000 requests per month. This allows developers and businesses to test the Yelp MCP Server, build prototypes, and perform light data extraction at no cost before scaling up.
Can the Web MCP Server perform actions like clicking or scrolling?
Yes. Beyond retrieving static data, the server supports full browser automation. Your agents can be instructed to navigate Yelp pages, click buttons, handle infinite scrolling, and even take screenshots, enabling complex workflows that simulate real user behavior.
Do I need to host the server myself?
You have the choice. You can use our fully managed Remote MCP for instant access with zero infrastructure setup, or you can deploy the Local MCP if you require on-premise control and custom environment configurations for your Yelp projects.
Which AI tools are compatible with this server?
Our Web MCP Server is designed for seamless integration with popular AI clients. It works natively with Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, and diverse agentic frameworks like LangChain, making it easy to add Yelp data capabilities to your existing workflows.
What is the difference between Rapid and Pro modes?
Rapid mode is free and ideal for everyday tasks like SERP lookups and basic text extraction. Pro mode unlocks premium capabilities for Yelp, including deep structured data extraction and advanced browser automation tools designed for large-scale production environments.
Is the Yelp MCP Server compliant with data regulations?
Absolutely. The Yelp MCP Server is built with strict adherence to data protection regulations, including GDPR and CCPA. We only access publicly available web data, ensuring your AI operations remain compliant and ethically sound.
What data formats does the server output?
The server delivers data in clean, AI-ready formats. Depending on your specific needs, you can retrieve Yelp data as structured JSON objects for precise analysis or as simplified Markdown text optimized for LLM context windows.
