How to Connect Carly to Meta Muse

Carly isn’t listed in Muse’s Settings > Connectors, so searching for it there finds nothing. Instead, you add Carly as a custom connector by asking Muse in a chat. You need a Carly API key first.

1. Make a Carly API key

  1. Open carlyassistant.com/integrations and scroll to the bottom.
  2. Click Advanced, then API keys.
  3. Name the key Muse. If you’re on a team, leave Access on All.
  4. Leave every scope ticked. They start out ticked.
  5. Click Generate key and copy it. This is the only time Carly shows the whole key.

Carly's API keys form with a key named Muse and every scope ticked.

2. Ask Muse to build the connector

  1. Open a chat with Muse in the app, on the web or in WhatsApp.
  2. Send this message:

Build a custom connector to https://carlyassistant.com/mcp/ using an API key as a bearer token.

  1. When Muse asks for the key, paste it into Muse’s secure credential prompt, not into the chat.

Muse can now reach everything you’ve connected to Carly: your email accounts, calendars, workflows and the apps on your Integrations page.

Try it

Use Carly to list my meetings tomorrow and any emails from this week I haven’t answered.

Troubleshooting

Searching “Carly” in Muse’s Connectors finds nothing

That’s expected. Carly isn’t in Muse’s directory; it’s a custom connector you create from a chat (step 2).

That’s normal. https://carlyassistant.com/mcp/ is an address for apps like Muse, not a page for browsers. Give it to Muse as in step 2.

Muse can only do some things, like booking

The key is missing scopes. Make a new key with every scope ticked and give it to Muse.

Muse stopped reaching Carly

The key may have been revoked. Its row under Your keys shows the status. Make a new one and give it to Muse.

To use several Gmail or Outlook accounts in Muse at once, see connecting multiple email accounts to Meta Muse.

Carly schedules, researches, and briefs you—so you can focus on what matters.

See what people say

"Before Carly, I relied on a Calendly link, but the whole process felt impersonal and not very professional. Carly changed that by handling all the back-and-forth, so I'm no longer stuck in endless email threads trying to line up schedules.

Now Carly reaches out to candidates, shares my real-time availability, lets them pick a slot, then sends a Zoom link and drops it straight into my calendar. She sends reminders to both of us before each call, which has significantly reduced no-shows and last-minute confusion.

On top of scheduling, Carly acts like a full executive assistant, sending me my schedule the night before so I can prepare for each call. It reminds me of the old x.ai assistant, but Carly is noticeably smarter, faster, and better suited to my healthcare recruitment business."
