How it works / Connect Perplexity · Leer en español

Add Spica Post to Perplexity.

Perplexity can act as well as answer, through connectors. You add your link as a custom connector, sign in once, and it can look something up and turn it into a scheduled post.

Menu names in Perplexity change between versions. If a step looks different, look for the connectors section in its settings.

Before you start

  • A Spica Post account with at least one social account connected.
  • Your MCP link, shown on your Spica Post account page.
  • A Perplexity plan that allows custom connectors. Check Perplexity's own help pages for which plans do.
  • A web browser. The phone apps may show only the ready-made connectors.

Steps

  1. On perplexity.ai, open your account settings and choose Connectors.
  2. Click + Custom connector and choose Remote.
  3. Name it "Spica Post" and paste your MCP link as the MCP server URL.
  4. If it asks how to sign in, choose OAuth. Tick the box that says you understand the risks of custom connectors, and save.
  5. Open the new connector and connect it. Perplexity opens the Spica Post login page. Sign in and approve.
  6. In a new thread, turn the Spica Post connector on and ask for a post. For example: "Look up what's on in town this weekend and draft a Facebook post that ties it to our Saturday hours."

Good to know

Adding, connecting and switching on are three separate steps in Perplexity. If it answers without using Spica Post, check that the connector is on for that thread.

If something goes wrong

  • The login page doesn't open. Remove the connection in Perplexity and add the link again.
  • The assistant says an account needs reconnecting. Open the reconnect link it gives you, sign in to that platform again, then repeat your request.
  • A post fails a check. The assistant is told which of the platform's limits it went over. Ask it to fix the draft and try again.
