Not in Muse's Connectors list yet, but Muse can still use it. Copy the request below and paste it into Muse. 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.

GovGazette is a remote MCP server, so any assistant that can add a custom connector by link can use it. Same link, same tools.
In ChatGPT, open Settings, then Connectors (called Apps & Connectors on some accounts).
Under Advanced settings, switch on Developer mode. That is what lets you add a connector by link.
Choose Create, give it a name, paste the link as the MCP server URL, and save. If it needs a sign-in, ChatGPT asks for it here.
Start a chat, open the tools menu, pick the connector, and ask. ChatGPT asks before it runs a tool the first time.
Custom connectors need a paid ChatGPT plan, and on Team, Enterprise and Edu accounts only an admin can add them. Our "Working" label means the server answered us; it cannot tell whether your plan lets you add it. All connectors that work in ChatGPT
In Claude, open Settings, then Connectors.
Choose Add custom connector, give it a name, and paste the link.
If it needs a sign-in, Claude sends you to it. Then turn the connector on in a chat from the tools menu and ask.
Custom connectors are available on paid Claude plans; on Team and Enterprise accounts an admin may need to add them. Our "Working" label means the server answered us; it cannot tell whether your plan lets you add it. All connectors that work in Claude

Screened, no issues found
Screening looks for known threats and hidden instructions at the time of the check, and runs again weekly and whenever the tool list changes. It cannot see the server's code, so only connect what you need and review what Muse asks to do. How screening works.
check_exclusionsCheck 1 to 20 identities against a dated active SAM snapshot. Pass identities as an array of objects, not a record ID or page URL. Each identity needs a name, UEI, CAGE, or NPI. Exact identifier matches and name-only possible matches remain distinct. Read coverage.freshness; stalcreate_saved_searchCreate one private saved opportunity search with the supplied name and criteria. Requires authenticated workspace access and explicit user intent. Creates an account workspace if needed and adds a search without replacing existing searches. Returns a private feed link. The first delete_saved_searchPermanently delete one saved search owned by the authenticated private workspace, including its baseline, retained change events and feed link. Requires explicit user intent; does not delete other searches or public records.delete_saved_search_workspacePermanently delete the authenticated private saved-search workspace and all its searches, baselines, change events and feed links. Requires explicit user intent to delete the entire workspace. Does not delete the GovGazette login account, public records or another workspace.detailRetrieve a known public identifier. Supply generation from search for a consistent result.documentRead bounded official record text by known identifier. Does not fetch arbitrary URLs or paths.exclusion_changesCompare two retained snapshots. No longer observed does not mean reinstated; enrichment-only changes are excluded.exclusion_contextRetrieve an exclusion with agency explanation, named restriction references, source evidence, explicit source-age warnings and supported business links.explain_matchExplain deterministic primary NAICS overlap between a registered vendor and opportunity. Not an eligibility determination.freshnessReport actual source dates, coverage, record counts and SHA256 provenance.get_saved_search_eventsRead the latest 100 retained change observations for one saved search owned by the authenticated private workspace. Does not change the search. Retention and missing intermediate observations are explicit; observations are not proof of delivered notifications.list_saved_searchesList the saved opportunity searches in the authenticated private workspace, including criteria, status and change counts. Does not change searches. Requires workspace Authorization headers on /mcp or account OAuth on /account/mcp; never accept keys in tool arguments.research_opportunityBuild a cited research brief with retained notice requirements, exact award-number candidates and same-industry comparisons. Does not infer an incumbent or eligibility.rotate_saved_search_feedReplace the private feed link for one saved search owned by the authenticated workspace, immediately revoking its previous link. Requires explicit user intent. Does not delete the search or its events. Keep the replacement link private; a lost response may mean the link changed asearchSearch public opportunities, vendors, awards, exclusions, or reference collections. Results include provenance and a generation-pinned cursor.search_exclusionsFilter active exclusion records by agency, program, classification, geography and dates. Preserve the returned cursor and generation. Read coverage.freshness for source age and warnings; results are dated evidence, not clearance.search_opportunitiesFind official opportunity records by keywords, industry, set-aside, state, agency and source status. Active does not imply the deadline is open.https://govgazette.com/mcpNot in Muse's Connectors list yet, but Muse can still use it. Paste this into Muse: "Use GovGazette to help me. It is a free service with an MCP server at https://govgazette.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.

At the last check (November 13, 2026, 14:45 UTC) the endpoint was working, answering in 186ms. Over the last 7 days it answered 82.8% of health checks. It is checked every 15 minutes.
It was screened on October 28, 2026 with the result "screened, no issues found". Screening checks the domain against threat feeds and reads the tools for hidden instructions and requests for passwords or card numbers. It cannot see the server's code, so grant only the access you need.
It is freemium. Check https://govgazette.com/agents for current pricing.
It exposes 17 tools, including check_exclusions, create_saved_search, delete_saved_search, delete_saved_search_workspace. For example, you could ask Muse: "Check if my business is eligible to bid on federal contracts in my state and industry."
