Connects Muse to live web and news search, cited answers, URL extraction, and specialist datasets covering SEC filings, markets, patents, academic papers, clinical trials, EU crypto rules and more. Muse can look things up, pull clean page text, and return sourced answers. Needs an API key and prepaid credits.

Example request: "What did the Fed say this week and what are analysts expecting for the next rate decision?"

How to connect: Not in Muse's Connectors list yet, but Muse can still use it. Paste this into Muse: "Use API Pick to help me. It is a free service with an MCP server at https://www.apipick.com/mcp. It needs an API key from API Pick; ask me to enter it through your secure credential prompt. Ask me before you share anything with it." Muse asks before it shares anything with the app's site. Meta does not review apps used this way, so only use ones you trust. We tested this in the Muse app on September 24, 2026: Muse used an app's link directly this way and returned a live answer.
