Connects to the College Scorecard database of US higher education institutions. Muse can search schools by name, location, or degree type; show detailed costs, admissions, financial aid, and earnings outcomes; and compare multiple colleges side by side.

Example request: "Show me colleges in California with low tuition and high graduation rates."

How to connect: Not in Muse's Connectors list yet, but Muse can still use it. Paste this into Muse: "Use College Scorecard to help me. It is a free service with an MCP server at https://mcp.olyport.com/college-scorecard/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.
