# Perplexity

> Connect TryPost to Perplexity for AI-powered social media management

[Perplexity](https://www.perplexity.ai) supports custom remote MCP connectors on paid plans, so you can connect TryPost and manage social media scheduling from Perplexity chat and [Computer](https://www.perplexity.ai/changelog/what-we-shipped---march-13-2026) workflows.

<Note>
  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](https://docs.perplexity.ai/docs/getting-started/integrations/mcp-server).
</Note>

## Prerequisites

* A Perplexity **Pro, Max, or Enterprise** account ([custom remote connectors](https://www.perplexity.ai/help-center/en/articles/13915507-adding-custom-remote-connectors) are not available on Free)
* A TryPost Cloud account with an active trial or subscription ([start a 7-day free trial](/knowledge-base/plans-and-billing))

## Setup

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Connectors">
    In Perplexity, open **Account Settings → Connectors**. From **Computer**, you can also open **Connectors** in the left sidebar. Click **+ Custom connector**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add a remote connector">
    Choose **Remote** and fill in:

    | Field              | Value                                                                                     |
    | ------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
    | **Name**           | `TryPost`                                                                                 |
    | **MCP Server URL** | `https://app.trypost.it/mcp/trypost`                                                      |
    | **Authentication** | **OAuth 2.0** (leave Client ID / Secret empty — TryPost uses Dynamic Client Registration) |
    | **Transport**      | Streamable HTTP if offered (prefer over SSE; often auto-detected)                         |

    Acknowledge the risk notice for custom connectors, then click **Add**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Authorize TryPost">
    Open the new connector card and complete OAuth. Sign in to TryPost and click **Allow**. The connector should show as connected with TryPost tools available.
  </Step>

  <Step title="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:

    ```
    List all my scheduled posts
    ```

    Perplexity will call the TryPost tools to fetch your posts.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  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).
</Note>

<Accordion title="API key authentication instead of OAuth">
  Perplexity also supports **API Key** (and open/no auth) for custom connectors. Paste a TryPost Personal Access Token from **Settings > API Keys** on the [TryPost dashboard](https://app.trypost.it). Prefer OAuth when both options work.
</Accordion>

<Accordion title="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.
</Accordion>
