Connecting Perplexity.
DonorClerk is added as a connector. We’re in early access: members get the connector URL and these steps when we launch.
Custom connectors need a Perplexity Pro, Max or Enterprise plan.
- 1
Open Settings → Connectors and choose + Custom connector, then Remote.
- 2
Name it DonorClerk, paste your DonorClerk connector URL, choose OAuth and Streamable HTTP, and save.
- 3
Start a new thread, turn DonorClerk on from the sources menu, and sign in to DonorClerk when asked.
Perplexity can’t show approval cards, so DonorClerk replies with a link to approve the change on donorclerk.com. Nothing is saved until you approve there. Perplexity’s own “allow this tool” prompt doesn’t count as approval.
Use a different assistant?
DonorClerk works with apps that support remote MCP servers.
