Check Your Synology NAS Health and Downloads Through Your Muse

Through an AnythingMCP custom connector, your muse can watch your Synology NAS in plain words: how full the drives are, whether a disk is healthy, and what the download queue is doing.

What it does

The connector adds 10 tools that talk to Synology DiskStation Manager. Your muse can read the system information, including model, DSM version, uptime, CPU, and memory, and read live use: CPU load, memory in use, disk throughput, and network throughput. It can show storage for every volume and disk: size, used space, file system, and SMART health status. It can list shared folders with name, path, description, and whether each is encrypted. It can list the files and folders under one path in File Station and search for a file by name. It can list the Download Station queue, with each task's title, status, size, progress, and speed, and the user accounts on the NAS.

How to use it

1. In DSM, create a user for the integration. Give it read access to the shared folders your muse should see. For the system tools, put it in the administrators group, since several system endpoints are admin only.
2. Turn off two-factor sign-in for that user, or the login call cannot complete, so use a dedicated account, not your own.
3. Start an AnythingMCP account and add the Synology DSM connector.
4. Enter your NAS address, the user name, and the password.
5. In Muse, open Settings, then Connectors, and add a custom connector with the address AnythingMCP gives you. Sign in and approve.
6. Ask about the NAS, such as how much space is left on the main volume, or what is downloading right now.

What you need

• A Muse account that can add custom connectors
• An AnythingMCP account with the Synology DSM connector added
• A Synology NAS and a dedicated DSM user for the integration

What to watch for

• For the cloud service, the NAS must be reachable from the internet. A self-hosted AnythingMCP on the same network needs no outside access.
• Use a dedicated user, not your own account. The system tools need admin membership, and that user needs two-factor turned off, so keep its access narrow and its password out of chats.
• This connector lists and reads. It does not manage downloads, change settings, or move files. Those jobs stay in DSM.
• This is a custom connector, and Meta does not review custom connectors. You can disconnect it in Settings at any time. The muse prepares, you decide.
