Carbone connects to document generation. Muse can render invoices, contracts, reports and other documents by merging your templates with data, convert between Office formats and PDF, and manage a library of reusable templates.

Example request: "Generate an invoice as a PDF by filling in my invoice template with customer and line item data"

How to connect: Not in Muse's Connectors list yet, but Muse can still use it. Paste this into Muse: "Use Carbone to help me. It is a free service with an MCP server at https://mcp.carbone.io/. 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.

Tools:
- list_templates: List stored Carbone templates with filtering, search, and pagination. Filter by Template ID, Version ID, category, or upload origin. Use includeVersions to see the full version history of each template. Supports cursor-based pagination for large collections. Note: filtering by ta
- convert_document: Convert any document to another format without storing a template. Supports 100+ input/output format combinations: Office documents, PDFs, images, web pages, spreadsheets, and more. The source file can be a local path, a URL, or a base64 string. Carbone tags are PRESERVED, not re
- render_document: Generate a document by merging a Carbone template with JSON data. Two modes: (1) pass templateId to use a previously uploaded template; (2) pass template (file path, URL, or base64) to upload and render in a single request without storing a template. Supports output format conver
- list_categories: List all template categories currently in use in your Carbone account. Categories act like folders for organising templates (e.g. "invoices", "legal", "hr"). Use the returned names as the category filter in list_templates or upload_template.
- list_tags: List all tags currently used across templates in your Carbone account. Tags are free-form labels attached to templates (e.g. "sales", "billing", "v2"). Note: the Carbone API does not support filtering list_templates by tag — use this tool to discover available tags, then call lis
- upload_template: Upload and store a reusable Carbone template. Once uploaded, use render_document with the returned Template ID to generate documents from it. Supports versioning: multiple versions can live under a single stable Template ID, with deployedAt controlling which version is active. Ac
- update_template_metadata: Update the metadata of a stored template: name, comment, category, tags, deployment timestamp, or expiration. Use deployedAt to activate a specific version for rendering. Use expireAt to schedule or trigger immediate deletion.
- delete_template: Delete a stored Carbone template. This is a soft delete: the template is marked for garbage collection and removed after a delay (default 24 hours). You can delete by Template ID (removes all versions) or by Version ID (removes only that specific version). For immediate or schedu
- download_template: Download the original source file of a stored Carbone template (e.g. the DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, or HTML file that was uploaded). Use this to inspect, edit, or back up a template. Pass a Template ID to download the currently deployed version, or a Version ID to download a specific vers
- get_api_status: Check Carbone API health and version. Returns the current API version and a status message. Useful for verifying connectivity and confirming which Carbone version is active.
- get_capabilities: Returns a summary of all Carbone capabilities: supported formats, features, tool usage examples, and links to full documentation. Call this first if you are unsure what Carbone can do.
