Connect Yelp to OpenClaw on Operator.io
Yelp is a local business directory and review platform with millions of listings. Instantly access rich business data, ratings, and customer reviews for location-based services.
Automate Yelp with AI
On Operator, an OpenClaw agent pilots Yelp for you. It reads your message, plans the steps, and runs them in Yelp, using actions like get business details, get business reviews, get review highlights.
Your agent reaches Yelp directly or through connectors like Composio MCP and Pipedream MCP, which handle the sign in and token refresh for you, so there is nothing to wire up and no API keys to paste.

How to connect Yelp
You authorize Yelp once from your dashboard. Operator holds the connection and refreshes the access tokens on its own, so your agent keeps working with Yelp without you signing in again. The same setup unlocks every other app your agent can reach, so you only do it once.
When you are ready, the get started guide walks through standing up your OpenClaw agent.
Common questions about Yelp
- How do I connect Yelp to Operator?
- Connecting Yelp is a one time sign in from your Operator dashboard. Operator keeps the connection live and rotates the token on its own, so the agent stays connected to Yelp and you never reauthorize by hand.
- Can my agent pull and update data in Yelp?
- Yes. It can read records, write new ones, and answer questions about what is stored. Point it at Yelp and ask for a figure or a list, or have it keep a table in step with another app you have connected, all in plain language.
- Do I need to write code or manage Yelp API keys?
- No. Operator manages the Yelp connection and token refresh, so there are no API keys to paste and nothing to deploy.
- Can my agent use Yelp together with my other apps?
- Yes. The same agent reaches every app you connect, so it can move between Yelp and tools like Gigasheet, Nasa, Api ninjas in one job, reading from one and acting in another without you wiring anything between them.
