Drive Instantly (cold-email outreach platform) from any AI agent: leads, campaigns, lead lists, accounts (sending mailboxes). 8 tools, Bearer auth.
Prerequisites
See the full setup instructions baked into the connector (visible in the in-app store when you select the connector). The required environment variables for this connector are:
INSTANTLY_API_KEY
Step 1 — Get credentials
instantly.ai).
Setup:
- Sign in to https://app.instantly.ai → bottom-left avatar → Settings → Integrations → API → Generate New API Key.
- Set
INSTANTLY_API_KEY.
Authentication: Authorization: Bearer ${INSTANTLY_API_KEY}.
Lead state: leads have status (Active, Paused, Completed, Unsubscribed, Bounced, Skipped, Replied). Adding a lead with skip_if_in_workspace=true deduplicates.
Campaigns: sequence of email steps. Adding a lead to a campaign enrolls it in the sequence.
Accounts (sending mailboxes): each campaign sends from one or more connected mailboxes — managed in UI.
Pagination: ?starting_after=lead_id cursor.
…(continued in the in-app connector instructions)
Step 2 — Install the adapter
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/HelpCode-ai/anythingmcp/main/docker-compose.quickstart.yml -o docker-compose.yml
printf 'JWT_SECRET=%s\nENCRYPTION_KEY=%s\n' "$(openssl rand -hex 32)" "$(openssl rand -hex 32)" > .env
docker compose up -d
Step 3 — Add the connector in Muse
Your server URL: in AnythingMCP, open MCP Servers → the server this connector is on, and copy its URL (
https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp/…). Use it wherever this guide showsYOUR_SERVER_ID.
Muse adds remote MCP servers as custom connectors and signs in to them with OAuth.
- In Muse, open Settings → Connectors and choose Add custom connector.
- Paste the MCP server URL
https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp/YOUR_SERVER_ID. - Muse opens the AnythingMCP sign-in page: sign in and approve access.
- In a chat, ask Muse for something that needs the
Instantlytools.
You can also set it up from a chat, on the web, in the iOS and Android apps or in WhatsApp. Send Muse this message:
Create a Custom Connector for a new remote MCP server, then connect to it:
Name: AnythingMCP
Transport: remote streamable HTTP
URL: https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp/YOUR_SERVER_ID
Auth: OAuth
Self-hosting? Use your instance's public HTTPS address instead of https://cloud.anythingmcp.com. Muse connects from Meta's cloud, so localhost does not work.

FAQ
Where is Muse available? Meta currently offers Muse in the US and Canada, on the web, in the iOS and Android apps and in WhatsApp.
Does Meta review this connector? No. Meta doesn't review custom connectors. Muse sees only the tools you switched on for this MCP server in AnythingMCP, and you can disconnect it anytime under Settings → Connectors.
