Deploy apps from Muse Code - setup guide

This guide shows how to connect AppDeploy to Muse Code, Meta’s terminal coding agent, so it can deploy apps from chat and return a live URL.

As of now, Muse Code doesn’t support the standard client-side OAuth authentication flow, which is why this guide uses the API key flow instead. Once Muse Code adds support for it, authentication will switch to the standard OAuth sign-in flow.

Step-by-step Instructions

Create an AppDeploy API key - run this in your terminal:
curl -X POST https://api-v2.appdeploy.ai/mcp/api-key -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"client_name": "muse"}'
Copy the api_key value from the response and save it securely - it cannot be retrieved later.
Open your Muse Code settings file at ~/.config/muse/settings.json (create it if it doesn’t exist) and add AppDeploy under mcp_servers, replacing YOUR_API_KEY with the key from step 1:
{ "mcp_servers": { "appdeploy": { "transport": "streamable_http", "url": "https://api-v2.appdeploy.ai/mcp", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" } } } }
If the file already exists, add the appdeploy entry to your existing mcp_servers block and keep the rest of your settings.
Start a new Muse Code session. AppDeploy’s tools load automatically - the API key is your credential, so there is no browser sign-in.
Setup is done! Ask Muse Code to build your app - it will use AppDeploy to deploy it. For example:
“Build a Hello Muse webpage with a global visitor counter and deploy it with AppDeploy.”

Your API key identifies your AppDeploy account. Keep it out of shared configs and source control.
