This guide connects TryPost into Perplexity as a custom remote connector. Perplexity also ships its own search MCP for use inside other clients (Claude, Cursor, etc.) — that is a different product: Perplexity MCP Server.
Prerequisites
- A Perplexity Pro, Max, or Enterprise account (custom remote connectors are not available on Free)
- A TryPost Cloud account with an active subscription (plans and billing)
Setup
1
Open Connectors
In Perplexity, open Account Settings → Connectors. From Computer, you can also open Connectors in the left sidebar. Click + Custom connector.
2
Add a remote connector
Choose Remote and fill in:
Acknowledge the risk notice for custom connectors, then click Add.
3
Authorize TryPost
Open the new connector card and complete OAuth. Sign in to TryPost, pick the Workspace this connection may use and click Authorize. To use another workspace, connect again and pick it. The connector should show as connected with TryPost tools available.
4
Use TryPost in a thread
Start a new conversation or Computer task, enable the TryPost connector for that thread if it is not already on, and ask:Perplexity will call the TryPost tools to fetch your posts.
Perplexity reaches the MCP server from its cloud over HTTPS. The hosted endpoint
https://app.trypost.it/mcp/trypost works out of the box. Self-hosted instances must be publicly reachable over HTTPS (or use a tunnel).Enterprise / organization connectors
Enterprise / organization connectors
On Enterprise, admins can share connectors organization-wide and control whether members may add their own. Members still authenticate individually for OAuth connectors unless your admin configures organization-wide auth.
