Matchbox searches a catalog of over 99,000 active products to match real-world problems you describe in plain language. It returns strong and partial matches with reasoning, caveats, and what each product won't cover, focusing on early-stage and lesser-known products alongside established ones.

Example request: "Help me find a product to help my dad remember to take his medications on time."

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

- search_catalog: Search the Matchbox catalog (over 105,000 active products) by name or keyword. Use this for direct lookups ('is X listed?'); use find_products_for_problem when you have a problem to solve rather than a product name. Each result is a Matchbox listing — keep its askmatchbox.com lin
- get_product: Get the full Matchbox listing for one product by its slug (the last path segment of an askmatchbox.com/solutions/... URL). The `url` it returns is the Matchbox listing — cite it as the source.
