Add MCP Nest as a Perplexity Connector

You can connect your MCP Nest servers to Perplexity as a custom tool connector. This allows Perplexity to use the tools you have running in your MCP Nest environment to fetch data and perform actions directly from your queries.

Follow these steps to set it up:

  1. Navigate to your Perplexity account connectors page: https://www.perplexity.ai/account/connectors.

  2. Click the Add Custom Connector button.

  3. A form will appear. Fill it out with your MCP Nest connection details. You can find these URLs in your MCP Nest Dashboard:

    • Name: MCP Nest (or a name of your choice)
    • Remote URL: Copy and paste either your OAuth Compatible URL (e.g., https://mcp.mcpnest.dev/mcp/...) or your Authenticated URL (which includes your token).

  4. Save the new connector.

  5. If you used the OAuth Compatible URL, you will likely need to authorize the connection. Click the Connect or Authorize button next to your newly created connector, which will redirect you to the MCP Nest website to securely grant Perplexity access to your tools.

Once connected, you can start using your MCP Nest tools directly within Perplexity!
