Perplexity Computer searches the open web well. Much of the best evidence sits behind your subscriptions: a market-data service, an analyst portal, a news archive.

Add Cuiar as a connector, and Computer reads those pages in your Research workspace. It checks them against public sources and cites both.

A research memo with numbered citations. Three sources fly in. Two are public. One has a lock, which opens when Cuiar signs in to the subscription, and its quote fills citation two.

Setup

Add an MCP connector.

Computer runs in Perplexity's cloud and reaches the Cuiar app on your computer through the remote server.

  1. 1

    Open Plugins

    Open Plugins in the sidebar. Older accounts: Customize, Connectors.

  2. 2

    Add a connector

    Click Add custom, Connector, Add MCP connector.

  3. 3

    Enter the server

    Name: Cuiar. Transport: Streamable HTTP. Authentication: OAuth.

    https://mcp.cuiar.com/mcp
  4. 4

    Sign in

    Save, then sign in on cuiar.com. Perplexity asks for a Client ID and Secret only when a server cannot register clients. Cuiar can, so you need neither.

Route

The connector reads; Odyssey reads for longer.

Computer's cloud computer cannot start programs on yours. The remote server reaches the Cuiar app, and run_task can hand over a long reading job, in Odyssey mode on Pro and Team.

Example tasks

Evidence behind a login

  • 01

    Pull revenue figures

    “Using my market-data subscription in the Research workspace, pull the 2022 to 2025 revenue of the ten largest EU heat-pump makers and build a table with sources.”

    Computer calls run_task, then checks against public filings.

  • 02

    Size a market

    “Size the German B2B e-bike leasing market. Read the two industry reports in my analyst-portal account, compare them with public trade-association numbers and show where they disagree.”

  • 03

    Check quotes

    “Check the five quotes in this draft against the original articles in my news subscriptions. Mark each as exact, paraphrased or not found.”

    The vault signs in to each paywalled site.

  • 04

    Watch a regulator

    “Every Monday, read the consultations page of the national financial regulator and the EU register, and summarize the new items.”

    A Computer Scheduled Task, or a Cuiar routine with 0 8 * * 1.

  • 05

    Prepare a call

    “Before Thursday's call, download the last three annual filings for the target from the company registry, and list director changes and late filings.”

    The PDFs land on your computer. Computer gets the facts.

Good to know

Enterprise
An admin adds the connector under Enterprise settings, Permissions, Connectors permissions, Custom connector, Remote. Or the admin turns on Allow members to add custom connectors.
API Key option
The form has an API Key option. Perplexity does not say which header it sends, so use OAuth.
Files
Downloads land on your computer. Computer's own computer does not get them.
