Access official public datasets as CSV or API: UK food hygiene ratings, CQC care providers, UK charity register, Scotland FHIS, US restaurant inspections and building permits. Filter by location and rating to research businesses and premises.

Example request: "Show me all restaurants with low food hygiene ratings in my area."

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