  • McMule is a Monte Carlo framework developed to advance the low-energy precision frontier by providing QED corrections to leptonic scattering and decay processes, currently up to next-to-next-to-leading order. Recent developments have extended its capabilities in two important directions: the systematic inclusion of electroweak effects at low energies within the low-energy effective field theory [arXiv:2507.17652], and the incorporation of pion form factors and the non-perturbative hadronic vacuum polarisation in loop amplitudes through a combination of OpenLoops and effective field theory techniques, referred to as disperon QED [arXiv:2512.10709]. I will provide an overview of McMule and discuss these recent extensions and their applications. In particular, I will illustrate the impact of the model used for non-perturbative $γ$-$Z$ mixing effects in the context of the MOLLER experiment and highlight the subtlety involved in consistently aligning OpenLoops with its effective field theory expansion in disperon QED.
