How does authorizing Tempreon work in Perplexity?

Adding the connector and authorizing it are two separate steps. When you add the custom connector you choose OAuth, which needs no client ID or secret because Tempreon supports dynamic client registration, and Streamable HTTP. Then you click the new Tempreon connector card on the Plugins page, which opens a browser window with the consent screen to sign in and approve.

Where do I add the Tempreon connector in Perplexity?

On the web or the Mac or Windows desktop app, open Plugins in the sidebar, click Add custom, choose Connector, then Add MCP connector, and pick Remote. Fill in the form with the name Tempreon, the MCP server URL, OAuth authentication, and Streamable HTTP transport. Check the acknowledgment box, then click Add. If your account does not show Plugins yet, the older path is Customize, then Connectors.

I do not see the option to add a custom connector in Perplexity. Why?

Custom connectors require a Pro, Max, or Enterprise plan as of October 2026, so free accounts see only the built-in connector catalog. On Enterprise, the Allow members to add custom connectors toggle is off by default, so an admin has to turn it on before you can add your own. Perplexity is also rolling out the new Plugins page gradually, so if you do not see Plugins in the sidebar yet, look under Customize, then Connectors instead.

Perplexity Setup — Docs

Overview

Perplexity is an answer engine that routes your questions through a roster of frontier models — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and Kimi among them, depending on your plan. Since March 2026 it has supported custom remote MCP connectors, which is how Tempreon plugs in.

Once connected, your AI loads your Core Imprint, searches your Knowledge Vault, and remembers what it learns — across every tool. And because Perplexity runs many models behind one interface, connecting Tempreon once gives every one of them your context: switch from GPT to Claude to Kimi mid-research and your identity and knowledge come along.

Quick path: Plugins (sidebar) → Add custom → Connector → Add MCP connector → Remote → paste the Tempreon URL → OAuth + Streamable HTTP → Add → click the connector card on the Plugins page to authorize → toggle it on under Sources.

Availability note (as of October 2026): Custom connectors require a Pro, Max, or Enterprise plan (on Enterprise, members can't add their own until an admin turns on "Allow members to add custom connectors", which is off by default). Free accounts see only the built-in connector catalog. Perplexity documents custom remote connectors for the web and the Mac/Windows desktop apps, and doesn't document them for the Comet browser — set Tempreon up on the web or desktop. Perplexity renamed the Customize sidebar item to Plugins in October 2026 and is rolling it out gradually; if your account doesn't show Plugins yet, the same steps start from Customize → Connectors.

Prerequisites

A Perplexity Pro, Max, or Enterprise account (on Enterprise, ask your admin to enable custom connectors)
A Tempreon account with at least one available Bridge slot
Your Tempreon MCP server URL (also shown in your Bridges dashboard)

Step-by-Step Setup

1. Open Plugins

On the web or desktop app, open Plugins in the sidebar. Don't see Plugins? Your account may not have the new page yet — open Customize → Connectors instead.

2. Add a custom connector

Click Add custom, then choose Connector → Add MCP connector (on the older Customize → Connectors page, use its add-custom-connector button)
Choose Remote
Fill in the form:
- Name: Tempreon
- MCP Server URL:

https://api.tempreon.com/functions/v1/tempreon-mcp/mcp

Authentication: OAuth — no client ID or secret needed; Tempreon supports dynamic client registration
Transport: Streamable HTTP

Check the acknowledgment box about custom connector risk
Click Add

3. Authorize the connection

The new Tempreon connector appears on the Plugins page. Click its card to start the authentication flow and enable it. A browser window opens with the Tempreon consent screen — sign in if prompted, review the request, and approve.

4. Enable it as a source

Back in Perplexity, make sure the Tempreon connector is toggled on under Sources. Then ask something that touches your context to confirm it's live.

Troubleshooting

You don't see "Add custom". Custom connectors require Pro, Max, or Enterprise as of October 2026. On Enterprise, "Allow members to add custom connectors" is off by default — an admin has to turn it on under Enterprise settings → Connectors (Connector permissions section). Free accounts only get the built-in catalog. If there's no Plugins item in your sidebar yet, look under Customize → Connectors.

The connector is added but Perplexity never uses it. Check that it's toggled on under Sources, and that you completed the authorization step by clicking the connector card.

Using Comet? Perplexity doesn't document custom connectors for Comet. Set up the connector on the web or desktop app instead — your account settings carry over.

The connection fails immediately. Confirm the URL ends in /mcp with no trailing slash: https://api.tempreon.com/functions/v1/tempreon-mcp/mcp.
