Interact with Live NetSuite Data in Meta Muse via CData Connect AI
Muse is Meta's personal AI agent for iOS, Android, and the web, built on the Muse Spark models. It connects to remote model context protocol (MCP) servers, so you can point Muse at a governed data source and let it discover and call live data tools.
Connect Muse to CData Connect AI through its Remote MCP Server, and Muse gains governed, real-time access to live NetSuite data. You can explore data, fetch records, and interact with objects using natural language prompts, with every request running against authorized sources.
This article shows you how to configure NetSuite connectivity in Connect AI, generate a personal access token, create a custom connector to the Connect AI Remote MCP Server in Muse, and interact with live NetSuite data from Muse.
About NetSuite Data Integration
CData provides the easiest way to access and integrate live data from Oracle NetSuite. Customers use CData connectivity to:
- Access all editions of NetSuite, including Standard, CRM, and OneWorld.
- Connect with all versions of the SuiteTalk API (SOAP-based) and SuiteQL, which functions like SQL, enabling easier data querying and manipulation.
- Access predefined and custom reports through support for Saved Searches.
- Securely authenticate with Token-based and OAuth 2.0, ensuring compatibility and security for all use cases.
- Use SQL stored procedures to perform functional actions like uploading or downloading files, attaching or detaching records or relationships, retrieving roles, getting extra table or column info, getting job results, and more.
Customers use CData solutions to access live NetSuite data from their preferred analytics tools, Power BI and Excel. They also use CData's solutions to integrate their NetSuite data into comprehensive databases and data warehouse using CData Sync directly or leveraging CData's compatibility with other applications like Azure Data Factory. CData also helps Oracle NetSuite customers easily write apps that can pull data from and push data to NetSuite, allowing organizations to integrate data from other sources with NetSuite.

Getting Started
Step 1: Configure NetSuite connectivity for Meta Muse
Connectivity to NetSuite from Muse is made possible through Connect AI's Remote MCP Server. To interact with NetSuite data from Muse, start by creating and configuring a NetSuite connection in Connect AI.
- Log into Connect AI, click Sources, and then click Add Connection
- Select NetSuite from the Add Connection panel
-
Enter the necessary authentication properties to connect to NetSuite.
The User and Password properties, under the Authentication section, must be set to valid NetSuite user credentials. In addition, the AccountId must be set to the ID of a company account that can be used by the specified User. The RoleId can be optionally specified to log in the user with limited permissions.
See the "Getting Started" chapter of the help documentation for more information on connecting to NetSuite.
- Click Save & Test
- Navigate to the Permissions tab and update user-based permissions
Add a Personal Access Token
A Personal Access Token (PAT) is used to authenticate the connection to Connect AI from Muse. It is best practice to create a separate PAT for each integration to maintain granular access control.
- Click the gear icon () at the top right of the Connect AI app to open Settings
- On the Settings page, go to the Access Tokens section and click Create PAT
- Give the PAT a descriptive name and click Create
- Copy the token when displayed and store it securely. It will not be shown again
With the NetSuite connection configured and a PAT generated, Muse can now connect to NetSuite data through Connect AI.
Step 2: Create a custom connector to the Connect AI MCP Server in Meta Muse
Muse has no manual "add MCP server" form. Instead, you ask Muse in plain language to build a custom connector that points at the Connect AI Remote MCP Server, a hosted, public HTTPS endpoint that speaks streamable HTTP. Muse builds the connector on its secure VM using the official MCP SDK, then discovers and calls the available Connect AI data tools.
- Open Muse on iOS, Android, or the web and start a new chat
-
Ask Muse to build a custom connector to the Connect AI Remote MCP Server, giving it the server URL and noting that the endpoint is a hosted MCP server over streamable HTTP, for example:
Create a custom connector to CData Connect AI. It is a hosted MCP server over streamable HTTP at https://mcp.cloud.cdata.com/mcp and it requires an Authorization header.
-
When Muse prompts for credentials, it opens a secure entry flow, separate from the chat, that saves the value in its Secure Credentials Store. Enter the Authorization header value in the format Basic your_base64_encoded_email_PAT
Note: For the Authorization value, base64 encode email:PAT and prefix it with Basic. Enter it only in Muse's secure credential prompt, never in the chat.
-
Muse connects to the Connect AI MCP Server and lists the available data tools. Review the custom connector confirmation, then click Continue. When Muse offers to save the integration as a skill, choose yes so the connector is available in every future chat
With the custom connector saved, the Connect AI tools are available to Muse in any chat.
Step 3: Interact with live NetSuite data from Meta Muse
With the integration complete, interact with live NetSuite data directly from Muse through natural language prompts.
-
In a Muse chat, type a prompt that uses the Connect AI connector, for example:
- Use the CData Connect AI connector to list all available connections
- Show the available objects and fields for NetSuite
- Fetch the top 5 records from NetSuite
- Approve the tool call in the Sentinel dialog when prompted
-
Muse calls the Connect AI MCP Server and returns live results from NetSuite data
At this point, Muse communicates with the Connect AI MCP Server and retrieves live NetSuite data through remote MCP tools directly from your chats.
