Since the metronome sound is not part of the written score, and MuseScore exports audio of the 'score playback', you can add a percussion staff to your score and use woodblock as a 'metronome'. Being part of the score, it will then be included in MuseScore's audio export.
Alternatively, you can use a free software like Audacity to record MuseScore's (metronome + score) playback. Audacity can churn out an MP3 from that recording.

Thanks for lightning reply and explaining the inconsistency. Yes, I'd worked that out - wondering whether tom-tom would go well with a hymn but maybe woodblock better!

woodblock is closest to the metronome sound (which is completely synthesized, independant of any soundfont)

OK, I found too that wood block works. It just makes the score ugly (on the computer screen). If that line is made invisible it doesn't print, so it's ok for making scores. Thanks.

If you mark the instrument invisible in the instruments dialog it has no influence on the computer screen either..

Got it! Thanks
wee need things like the accented first beat, a different sound first beat and easy changing for different time signatures. Musescore - you need a metronome playback feature in audio export.

I know I'm late to the party, but I found this old MuseScore 3 file which shows how applying the Woodblock instrument from the Mixer to pitched notes can make the audio output sound with 'fake' accents:

Even though it uses an unpitched percussion instrument (i.e., woodblock), the sounds do change with pitch.
Also...
Once one full measure is written (or copied) into a score, selecting that measure and repeatedly pressing R will fill the score with "metronome" sounds. (That staff can be made invisible for viewing/printing.)
I haven't tried it yet in MS4. Will probably have to use Marc's "unbundled" GM soundfont in MS4.
Just thought of sharing an update for future readers. In MS 4, I downloaded the plugin https://github.com/XiaoMigros/metronome-audio-export/releases/tag/v1.0 and copied the .qml file to the plugin folder. In the score I enabled the metronome in the player control. This worked and I was able to export an mp3 file that included metronome click
