You can connect your local MCP servers to Perplexity as a custom connector through Warplet. This lets Perplexity fetch data and perform actions with your local apps directly from your queries.
Before you start, make sure Warplet is running and connected. The app lists one URL per MCP server under Use these URLs to connect your favorite LLM. Each URL routes to a specific MCP server: the DEVONthink URL routes to the DEVONthink MCP server, the Beeper URL to the Beeper MCP server, and so on. Copy the URL for the server you want to connect.
Follow these steps:
-
Navigate to your Perplexity account connectors page: https://www.perplexity.ai/account/connectors.
-
Click the Add Custom Connector button.
-
A form will appear. Fill it out with the following details:
- Name:
Warplet(or the name of the app you're exposing) - Remote URL: your Warplet MCP URL, copied from the app
- Name:
-
Save the new connector.
-
Click the Connect or Authorize button next to your newly created connector. When the Warplet authorization page appears, paste the bearer token shown in the Warplet app and approve.
Once connected, you can start using your local tools directly within Perplexity.
