Read Your Directus Collections and Records Through Your Muse

Through a custom connector, your muse can read a Directus site or app in plain words: list what collections it holds, see what fields each one has, and find the exact records you ask for.

What it does

The connector adds 5 tools, and it is read only. It can list the collections the connected account can see, such as articles, products, or orders, depending on how the project was built. It can list the fields inside one collection, so you both know what details each record carries before searching. It can list items in a collection with filters, a search word, sorting, paging, and totals, so a request like the ten newest published articles returns a short list instead of the whole table. It can pull one item in full by its record key. It can also report basic server information.

How to use it

1. Start an AnythingMCP account and add the Directus connector.
2. In Directus, copy the web address of your project and a static access token for a user with only the access you want to share. Enter both only where the connector asks, and never put the token in a web address.
3. In Muse, open Settings, then Connectors, and add a custom connector with the address AnythingMCP gives you. Sign in and approve.
4. Ask for the server information and the list of collections first, so you know you are in the right project.
5. Pick one collection, ask for its fields, then ask for a small filtered list and check a few records in Directus itself.

What you need

• A Muse account that can add custom connectors
• An AnythingMCP account with the Directus connector added
• A Directus project and a static access token

What to watch for

• The connector cannot create, change, or delete anything. Edits still happen in Directus itself, by a person.
• The token sets the limits. The muse sees only the collections and records the token owner can see, so use a token with narrow access.
• A self hosted project on a private network may not be reachable. A private address is blocked by default and needs an explicit allow setting first.
• Field names differ from project to project. Ask for the field list first, or a filter built on a guessed name can return nothing.
• 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.
