Connects to Expatslist community content including city guides, business listings, classifieds, recommendations, questions and missed connections. Muse can help you find local services, get answers about living in a city, discover what's new in your community, and access cost of living and visa information.

Example request: "Show me recent questions and recommendations from people in Barcelona about finding an apartment."

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