Custom connectors require a paid Perplexity plan. On Enterprise, admins must first enable Allow members to add custom connectors — it is off by default.
1

Open connector settings

  • For yourself: Account settings → Connectors
  • For the whole organization (admins): Enterprise settings → Permissions → Connectors permissions
2

Start a custom connector

Click + Custom connector in the top-right corner, then select Remote in the modal.
3

Fill in the fields

Leave Client ID and Client Secret empty — Rings supports dynamic client registration and OAuth discovery, so Perplexity finds the endpoints and scopes itself.
4

Acknowledge and add

Tick the acknowledgement box, then click Add. The connector appears on the Connectors screen in your account settings.
5

Authenticate

Click the Rings connector card to start the sign-in flow and enable it.
6

Turn it on for a search

On the Perplexity home screen, enable Rings under Sources.

​
Sharing it with your organization

Only admins can share a connector organization-wide. After creating it, the creator opens Enterprise settings → Permissions and shares it there. Organization members may not see it immediately. For an org-wide connector using OAuth, an admin can either authenticate once on behalf of everyone, or require each member to sign in with their own Rings account. Per-member sign-in is the right choice for Rings, because tool results are scoped to what each user can already see in the app.

​
Editing or removing it

On the Connectors screen, click the ellipsis (⋮) on the Rings card and pick the action you want.
If the connector shows an error tag right after you add it, Perplexity’s verification probe could not reach the server. Re-check the URL — it must be https:// and end in /mcp.
