How do I connect PlacesDataAPI — Local Business Places, Reviews & Contact Enrichment MCP Server?

Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address. You sign in through your browser once and the client keeps the session: no key to copy, and it refuses anonymous clients.

How do you sign in to PlacesDataAPI — Local Business Places, Reviews & Contact Enrichment MCP Server?

No API key is involved. PlacesDataAPI — Local Business Places, Reviews & Contact Enrichment MCP Server answers our knock with an OAuth challenge, so you authorise it once in your browser and the client keeps the session. That is also why we see no tool list: it will not describe itself to an anonymous client, and that is the server working as intended, not a fault.
