Shelfclub connects to a catalog of 1.7 million books. Muse can search by title or author, browse by mood and genre tags, find trending books, get book details and ratings, discover similar books, and look up author biographies.

Example request: "Find me a cozy mystery book that's fast-paced and perfect for a weekend read."

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