[Learn more about the data you can access through these tools](/mcp/what-data-is-available-in-conductors-mcp).

### Verify Your Perplexity Plan and Permissions

Custom connectors using remote MCP are available for users on individual **Pro** plans and **Enterprise** plans. 

From [Perplexity](https://www.perplexity.ai/help-center/en/articles/13915507-adding-custom-remote-connectors):

> Organization members can add custom remote connectors if admins enable them for the organization. How you add a remote connector depends on whether an admin adds it for the entire organization or a user (including admins) adds it for their own account. In both cases, the steps are largely the same. The main difference is that only admins can share connectors with the entire organization. 

### Configure Your Custom Connector in Perplexity

For more context, you can review [Perplexity's article](https://www.perplexity.ai/help-center/en/articles/13915507-adding-custom-remote-connectors) about configuring custom connectors. However, we will provide all necessary instructions here:
