Returns matching businesses with star ratings, review counts, price, categories, address, and phone. Example: search_businesses({ term: \"pizza\", location: \"San Francisco, CA\" }). |\n| `get_business` | Get full details for a single Yelp business by its id or alias. Returns rating, review count, price, categories, address, phone, hours, photos, and coordinates. Example: get_business({ id: \"garaje-san-francisco\" }). |\n| `get_reviews` | ⚠️ UPSTREAM-UNRELIABLE — Yelp Fusion's /reviews endpoint has been 404-ing on most ids since mid-2026 even for valid businesses. PREFER `get_business` (which sometimes inlines a snippet) or `search_businesses` for review-context queries. If you must call get_reviews: pass the ENCRYPTED business id (long alphanumeric, e.g. \"WavvLdfdP6g8aZTtbBQHTw\") returned in search_businesses results — aliases / slugs (e.g. \"garaje-san-francisco\") reliably 404. Returns up to 3 review snippets per business (rating, text, author, timestamp); \"limit\" is capped by Yelp upstream regardless of what you pass. |\n\n## Quick Start\n\nAdd to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):\n\n```json\n{\n  \"mcpServers\": {\n    \"yelp\": {\n      \"url\": \"https://gateway.pipeworx.io/yelp/mcp\"\n    }\n  }\n}\n```\n\n### What this endpoint actually serves\n\n`tools/list` at `https://gateway.pipeworx.io/yelp/mcp` returns the tools in the table\nabove **plus the shared Pipeworx meta-tools** — `ask_pipeworx`,\n`discover_tools`, `search_within`, `remember`/`recall` and the rest of the\ngateway-wide set. So the tool count you see is larger than this table: a\nsingle-pack endpoint currently lists roughly 30 shared tools alongside the\npack's own. The connection's `initialize` response states its exact scope, and\nis the authoritative answer for a given day.\n\nThis is deliberate, not multiplexing by accident. The meta-tools are what let a\nscoped connection answer a question this pack does not cover — via\n`ask_pipeworx`, which routes across the whole catalog — without you adding a\nsecond MCP server. There is currently no way to mount a pack endpoint without\nthem; if the extra schemas cost you more context than the routing is worth,\nconnect to the full gateway once rather than to several pack endpoints.\n\nOr connect to the full Pipeworx gateway to get every pack's tools listed\ndirectly, instead of just this one's:\n\n```json\n{\n  \"mcpServers\": {\n    \"pipeworx\": {\n      \"url\": \"https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp\"\n    }\n  }\n}\n```\n\nBoth URLs reach the same gateway and the same 1476+ data sources. The\nonly difference is which pack's tools are listed **directly**; `ask_pipeworx`\nreaches all of them from either one.\n\n## Using with ask_pipeworx\n\nInstead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English —\nthis works on the pack endpoint above as well as on the full gateway:\n\n```\nask_pipeworx({ question: \"your question about Yelp data\" })\n```\n\nThe gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.\n\n## More\n\n- [Docs and guides](https://pipeworx.io/docs)\n- [pipeworx.io](https://pipeworx.io)\n\n## License\n\nMIT\n",
