Connects to Boken Japan's read-only database covering every municipality in Japan. Muse can search listings by keyword, prefecture, town or category, pull town overviews with access and station details, and open individual entries with source links and verified booking links for stays.

Example request: "Find soba places and a place to stay in Hakuba, Nagano, and tell me how to get there by train."

How to connect: Not in Muse's Connectors list yet, but Muse can still use it. Paste this into Muse: "Use Boken Japan to help me. It is a free service with an MCP server at https://bokenjapan.com/mcp/. It does not need an API key. 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.
