Searches Reddit, Hacker News and other online forums for people asking for a product like yours. Muse can review the posts, decide which ones are relevant, and draft replies for you to edit and post. Requires a Needle API key. Tools are only visible after signing in to Needle.

Example request: "Find Reddit and Hacker News posts from the last week where people are asking for a tool like mine, and draft a helpful reply to each one."

How to connect: Not in Muse's Connectors list yet, but Muse can still use it. Paste this into Muse: "Use Needle to help me. It is a free service with an MCP server at https://api.useneedle.net/mcp. It needs an API key from Needle; ask me to enter it through your secure credential prompt. 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.
