PostSnag connects to Perplexity as a custom remote connector, so you can ask Perplexity about any profile, post, or group you've already captured without leaving the chat.

Before you start

  • PostSnag MCP is included with Pro and Lifetime. A Free account can add the connector, but every question comes back asking you to upgrade instead of an answer.

  • Your connector link, ready to copy:

    https://api.postsnag.com/mcp

  • Sign in to app.postsnag.com in the same browser first. Perplexity sends you to a PostSnag sign-in screen partway through, and being signed in already makes that step instant.

  • You've captured at least one profile, post, or group. The connector reads your PostSnag library; with nothing captured yet, there's nothing for it to answer from.

Connecting PostSnag MCP to Perplexity

  1. Open Connectors in Perplexity: in account settings, click Custom connector, then choose Remote.

  2. Name the connector: name it PostSnag.

  3. Paste your MCP link: drop it into the MCP Server URL field.

    https://api.postsnag.com/mcp

  4. Add it: leave Authentication set to OAuth, tick the acknowledgement, then click Add.

Important Note: Custom remote connectors need a Perplexity Pro or Enterprise plan. That's Perplexity's rule, not PostSnag's, and it applies no matter which PostSnag plan you're on.

Signing in to PostSnag

If you're already signed in to app.postsnag.com in that browser, Perplexity sends you straight back with nothing to click. If you're not signed in, PostSnag's own sign-in screen opens first: sign in with your email and password or Google, and you land back in Perplexity, connected. There's no key to create or paste anywhere in this flow, and PostSnag never touches your Facebook login.

Your first questions

Once it's connected, type a plain question straight into Perplexity. A few to try first:

  • "Which of my captured posts got the most reactions last month?"

  • "Summarize everything I've captured from the profile I check most often."

  • "What's in my competitor folder, and which post did best?"

  • "How many groups am I tracking, and what's in each one?"

  • "Rank my best-performing posts by comments."

Checking it worked

Ask Perplexity: "How many posts have I captured?"

On Pro or Lifetime, you get a real number back, pulled straight from your own library. That count matches what you'd see on Posts inside your dashboard, since the connector reads the same library. On the Free plan, Perplexity relays this message instead:

"The PostSnag MCP connector is available to Pro and Lifetime members only. Please upgrade your account at https://postsnag.com to connect Claude, ChatGPT, or Perplexity."

Disconnecting

Remove PostSnag inside Perplexity's own connector settings, and the connection stops right away. Nothing changes inside PostSnag: your library, your scans, and your account stay exactly as they were. You won't lose anything you've already asked about; disconnecting just stops Perplexity from answering new questions until you reconnect. Reconnect any time with the same link:

https://api.postsnag.com/mcp

Common questions

Where do I find connectors in Perplexity?

In your account settings, under Custom connector, where you choose Remote. Name it PostSnag, paste the link into the MCP Server URL field, leave Authentication on OAuth, and tick the acknowledgement before adding it.

Do I need Perplexity Pro?

Yes, on Perplexity's side: custom remote connectors are a Pro and Enterprise feature there. Your PostSnag plan is separate. PostSnag MCP is included with Pro and Lifetime.

Does connecting this give Perplexity my Facebook login?

No. PostSnag never holds your Facebook password, and the connector only exposes what you've already captured to your PostSnag library. Your Facebook session stays in your own browser, where the extension uses it.

Can Perplexity go capture something new for me?

No. The connector reads your captured library; it has no Facebook access of its own. Capturing still happens in the Chrome extension while you scroll.

Do I need to reconnect after upgrading from Free to Pro?

No. The connector doesn't check your plan when you add it, only when you ask a question. Upgrade your PostSnag plan and your next question in Perplexity works, with nothing to reconnect.
