You can connect Perplexity to Relato so your AI Content Agents run answer-engine research and cite it while they draft. This page is the short version. The full connect flow lives in the parent article below.

Once Perplexity is connected, an agent can ask questions and get sourced answers while it works. Common uses:

These are research inputs. The agent uses them to draft with support, not to publish.

In Relato, open Settings > Integrations > MCP > Add account, paste the Perplexity MCP URL, approve the OAuth prompt, and name the account. The name you choose prefixes Perplexity tools in the agent tool picker. Then attach the Perplexity tools plus the Relato query and project tools to an agent, and set a trigger: a project stage change, a schedule, or a manual run. You usually attach these to a research or brief-building agent. For the full walkthrough, read Connect any MCP to Relato.

Build a research agent. Trigger it when a project moves into your research stage. Give it the Perplexity tools plus the Relato query and project tools. Tell it to ask a few sharp questions about the topic, collect the answers with their sources, and write a research section into the project brief. Drafters then work from cited material rather than guesswork.

Relato's MCP integration is OAuth-based. You can connect Perplexity if it runs an OAuth-capable MCP server that Relato can reach. If a public OAuth MCP for Perplexity does not exist yet, tell us at [email protected] and we will help you find the right path.

Do I need my own Perplexity access? Yes. The MCP connects your own Perplexity access to Relato, so your usage and limits are your account's.

Will the agent keep the sources? It can. Tell the agent to write the citations into the brief so writers can check and reuse them.
