Open Connectors in Perplexity Desktop

Open the desktop app, go to "Settings", then "Connectors", and click "Add connector".

Add the server config

Open the "Advanced" tab, then set the Server Name and paste the configuration below, then click "Save":

Server Name: Buffer

{
  "command": "npx",
  "args": [
    "-y",
    "mcp-remote",
    "https://mcp.buffer.com/mcp"
  ]
}

Note: Requires Node.js. Perplexity needs to find npx on your system. If the connector won't start, point the config at the full path of your Node install.
