Connects to National Park Service data to help you find parks by location or activity, check current alerts and closures, discover campgrounds with amenities and reservations, browse curated things to do, and find scheduled ranger programs and events.

Example request: "Show me campgrounds with RV hookups at Zion National Park and check if any trails are closed right now."

How to connect: Not in Muse's Connectors list yet, but Muse can still use it. Paste this into Muse: "Use National Parks MCP Server to help me. It is a free service with an MCP server at https://national-parks.caseyjhand.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. 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.
