## Introduction

Muse is Meta's AI assistant. It can connect to outside tools through custom connectors, which use the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
This guide explains how to connect Tavily to Muse using Composio Connect, which handles OAuth, token refresh, and reliability so you do not have to. You add Composio as a custom connector once, then ask Muse to work with Tavily in plain language.

## TL;DR

- Cross-app workflows across 1,500+ apps from a single plugin layer.
- On-demand tool loading so Muse only loads the tools needed for the current task.
- Programmatic tool calling through a remote workbench for complex, multi-step workflows.
- Multi-account support so users can connect and switch between multiple accounts for the same app.
- Shared account access so teams or agents can work through common business accounts and service connections.
- Managed authentication with OAuth handling, credential storage, and token refresh managed by Composio.
- Safer credential handling so app credentials stay outside the model context and tool responses.
- User-level account isolation so actions run against the correct connected account instead of mixing user access.

## Connect Tavily to Muse

### Connecting Tavily to Muse
You add Composio to Muse once as a custom connector, then connect Tavily from the chat.

## What is the Tavily MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Tavily MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Tavily account. It provides structured and secure access to web search, page content, website structures, and account usage, so your agent can search the web, extract content, crawl websites, map pages, and check usage on your behalf.
- Focused web search: Have your agent search the web with controls for search depth, content type, result count, and included or excluded domains.
- Web page content extraction: Direct your agent to extract and parse useful content from specific web pages for research, summaries, or analysis.
- Intelligent website crawling: Let the agent crawl a website across multiple paths and collect content from the pages it discovers.
- Website mapping: Instruct your agent to map a website and identify its available pages before deeper research or extraction.
- Usage monitoring: Have your agent check your Tavily account and API key usage statistics so you can track consumption.

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `TAVILY_CRAWL` | Tavily crawl | Tool to perform intelligent graph-based website crawling with parallel path exploration and content extraction. Use when you need to traverse and extract content from multiple pages of a website following specific patterns or instructions. Supports depth/breadth controls, domain filtering, and natural language instructions for guided crawling. |
| `TAVILY_EXTRACT` | Tavily extract | Tool to extract and parse web page content from specified URLs using Tavily's extract endpoint. Use when you need to retrieve clean, structured content from web pages with optional image extraction and content reranking based on query relevance. |
| `TAVILY_GET_USAGE` | Get Tavily usage | Tool to retrieve API key and account usage statistics from Tavily. Use when you need to check credit consumption, limits, and per-endpoint usage for search, extract, crawl, map, and research operations. |
| `TAVILY_MAP` | Tavily map website | Tool to map a website and discover its pages. Use when you need to scan a website and get a structured list of URLs/pages it contains without extracting full content. |
| `TAVILY_TAVILY_SEARCH` | Tavily search | Use this to perform a web search via the Tavily API; offers controls for search depth, content types, result count, and domain filtering. Requires an active Tavily connection (401 = auth failure). Rate limit: ~2 req/s; apply exponential backoff on HTTP 429. Results are nested under response_data.results (not a flat list). Subject to HTTP 429 on rapid bursts. |

## Troubleshooting

### 1. Why doesn't Muse show a button to add my API key?

Muse shows the button only when you ask it to open the secure credentials store.
- Start a new chat.
- Send the message from step 1 exactly as written.
- If Muse asks for the key in the chat, do not paste it. Ask Muse to open the secure credentials store.

### 2. Why does the Composio connection fail after I add my API key?

The key or the connector settings are not correct.
- Copy the full key from the Composio dashboard. It starts with ck_.
- Make sure the URL is https://connect.composio.dev/mcp and the header is x-consumer-api-key.
- Remove the Composio connector in Muse settings, then do steps 1 to 3 again.

### 3. Why doesn't Muse use the Composio tools for Tavily?

Muse may not pick the Composio connector for the request.
- Ask Muse to list its Composio tools.
- Name Composio and Tavily in your request, for example: Use Composio to connect to Tavily.
- If it still does not work, start a new chat and try again.

### 4. Why does Muse ask me to connect Tavily again?

Your Tavily connection expired or was removed.
- Open the link Muse gives you and sign in to Tavily again.
- Check that the Tavily connection shows as ACTIVE in the Composio dashboard.

### 5. What do I do if I pasted my API key into the chat?

Treat the key as exposed.
- Create a new API key in the Composio dashboard and delete the old one.
- Add the new key in Muse's secure credentials store, not in the chat.

## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK

Once connected, Muse can access the Tavily MCP server through Composio to run the actions you authorize, using plain language in the chat.

None listed.

## Conclusion

### Way Forward
Now that Tavily is connected, extend your setup by connecting the other apps you already use every day, so Muse can run true cross-app workflows end to end.
- Connect Calendar to turn threads into scheduled meetings automatically.
- Connect Slack or Teams to post summaries, approvals, and alerts where your team works.
- Connect Notion, Linear, Jira, or Asana to convert requests into tickets, tasks, and docs.
- Connect Drive, Dropbox, or OneDrive to fetch, file, and share attachments without manual steps.
Start with one workflow you do repeatedly, then keep adding apps as you find new handoffs. With everything behind a single connection, Muse can coordinate multiple tools safely and reliably in one conversation.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Does Muse support MCP?

Yes. Muse supports custom connectors that use the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Composio connects as one custom connector over remote streamable HTTP at https://connect.composio.dev/mcp, and gives Muse access to Tavily and 1,500+ other apps.

### Where do I get the API key for the Composio connector?

Copy it from the Composio dashboard. It starts with ck_. Enter it only in Muse's secure credentials store, never in the chat.

### Can I connect more than one Tavily account to Muse?

Yes. Composio supports multiple connected accounts for the same app. Give each Tavily connection a name, such as work or personal, and tell Muse which one to use.

### How safe is my Tavily data with Composio?

Tokens, keys, and configuration are encrypted at rest and in transit. Your Composio API key stays in Muse's secure credentials store, not in the chat or the model context. Composio is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant.
