Read Your Podio App Fields and Items Through Your Muse

Through a custom connector, your muse can read one Podio app in plain words: see every field the app uses, filter its items by status or date, and open a single item with all of its values.

What it does

The connector adds 3 tools, all read-only. One returns the app with every field: type, label, whether required, and settings such as a category field's choices. One filters and lists items in that app, a page at a time, with their field values. One opens a single item by its numeric ID. Filters can use field names, the item title, creation and edit dates, tags, and IDs. Numbers, money, and dates filter by a from-to range, and dates can be relative, such as the last 7 days. Reading an item does not mark it as viewed, so your Podio notifications stay as they were.

How to use it

1. Start an AnythingMCP account and add the Podio connector.
2. Open Podio API settings and generate an API key. Copy the client ID and the client secret, which Podio shows only once.
3. Open the one Podio app you want to read, open the wrench menu, then Developer, and copy its App ID and App token.
4. Enter all four values only where the connector asks.
5. In Muse, open Settings, then Connectors, and add a custom connector with the address AnythingMCP gives you. Sign in and approve.
6. Start with a read: ask for the app fields, then a filtered list of items, and check the answer in Podio.

What you need

• A Muse account that can add custom connectors
• An AnythingMCP account with the Podio connector added
• A Podio API key, plus the App ID and App token for the one app you want to read

What to watch for

• One app only: the four values sign the connector in as that app, so other apps in the workspace stay out of reach and calls outside it fail.
• The connector cannot create or edit items or read comments or files. Changes stay inside Podio.
• Text fields cannot be filtered, except for the item title. Plan filters around status, dates, tags, and numbers instead.
• Podio limits filtered lists to 250 calls per hour per API key. Long paging jobs can hit it and need to wait.
• The sign-in lasts 8 hours and renews on its own.
• 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.
