Perplexity Mac app

The currently supported Perplexity flow uses the Mac app, its advanced connector configuration, and an API key. Create the key at api.usepalim.com/setup.

Configuration

In Perplexity, open Settings → Connectors → Add Connector → Advanced and add:

{
  "args": [
    "mcp-remote",
    "https://api.usepalim.com/mcp",
    "--header",
    "x-api-key:${PALIM_API_KEY}"
  ],
  "command": "npx",
  "env": {
    "PALIM_API_KEY": "YOUR_PALIM_API_KEY"
  },
  "useBuiltInNode": true
}

Save the connector and restart Perplexity. Do not share this configuration because it contains your API key.

Personalize the behavior

Use your account Custom Instructions or a Perplexity Project's Custom AI Instructions. Independently, make sure the Palim connector is available to the thread. See Prompts and personalization for a short starter instruction and the reliability test.

Test

Open a new thread with the Palim connector enabled and ask for Palim Help.
