Before you start
- Plans: Pro, Max, Education Pro, Enterprise Pro and Enterprise Max; not Free. Computer tasks use credits: Max includes 10,000 credits a month, and Pro includes weekly Computer usage. On Enterprise, members add their own custom connectors only if an admin allows it.
- Platforms: add the connector in Perplexity on the web. Computer runs on the web, in the iOS and Android apps, and from Slack, Teams and email.
- A PostQueen API key. A workspace admin copies it from Connections.
Where the API key is: in the app, open Connections > API key. Only a workspace Admin or Super Admin can reveal or rotate it; other members see it masked. A workspace has one key, and each agent card on Connections shows your MCP address with the key already filled in.
Connect Perplexity Computer
1
Open Plugins
In Perplexity on the web, open Plugins in the sidebar (or Customize > Connectors if you don’t see Plugins yet), then Add custom > Connector > Add MCP connector, and choose Remote.
2
Fill in the connector
Name it
PostQueen and fill in the fields as below, with your key in the address:3
Add it
Tick the acknowledgement box and click Add. PostQueen appears on the Plugins page.
4
Turn it on
On the Plugins page, click the PostQueen card to enable it.
On Enterprise, an admin can add PostQueen for the whole organization under Enterprise settings > Permissions > Connectors permissions, then + Custom connector, and then share it with the organization from the Permissions screen in Enterprise settings. Members add their own custom connectors only if an admin allows it.
Check that it works
Start a Computer task: “List my PostQueen channels.” Computer answers with the channels you connected in PostQueen. If it does not use PostQueen, open the Plugins page and click the PostQueen card to enable it.Good to know
- Keep Authentication on None. The key is already in the address, and Perplexity’s API Key option does not say which header it sends.
- Choose Remote. A local MCP server works only in the Mac app, and cloud Computer tasks need a remote one.
- Use the connector, not the PostQueen CLI. Computer keeps saved keys in its Credential vault and never passes them into its sandbox.
- The address carries your API key. Keep it private. If it leaks, a workspace admin rotates the key under Connections > API key, and you update the connector.
- Ask for drafts when you want to check first. A draft waits on your PostQueen calendar, and nothing publishes until you schedule it.
- What it cannot do over MCP: change a post’s text or time. Do that on the calendar in the app. The MCP tools lists what it can do.
Other ways to connect
Try this first
Run it on a schedule
Computer runs Scheduled Tasks. Describe the recurring task in Computer; it proposes a schedule for you to confirm, and lists the task on its Automations dashboard. Scheduled Tasks can use every connector you linked to Computer, PostQueen included, and run at most once an hour.Troubleshooting
