Checked on 15 November 2026 against Perplexity's pages Adding custom remote connectors, Troubleshooting connectors and Local and remote MCPs for Perplexity.

Who can do it​

PlansPro, Max or Enterprise. On Enterprise, an admin must switch on Allow members to add custom connectors.

  2. Click Plugins in the sidebar. If you do not see it, go to Customize, then Connectors.
  3. Click Add custom, then Add MCP connector, then Remote.
  4. Name it ScentSell and paste this as the MCP server URL:
https://mcp.scentsell.com.au/api/mcp
  1. Under Advanced, set Authentication to OAuth and Transport to Streamable HTTP. Leave the client ID and secret empty; ScentSell registers Perplexity automatically.

Sign in on ScentSell​

A ScentSell page opens in your browser. If you are not logged in to ScentSell, it asks you to log in first and then brings you back. The page is headed Authorise followed by the app's name, lists what the app will be able to do, and shows the email you are signed in with. Click Authorise. ScentSell shows You're linked and sends you back. Click Deny if you did not mean to connect.

Give Perplexity the ScentSell rules​

Paste this as your first message:

You are now connected to my ScentSell account. ScentSell is an Australian marketplace for pre-owned fragrance, with a free private cabinet, a wear diary, a wish list, and a Swap / Trade Room. The ScentSell tools act as me and only see my own account.

You may read anything in my account through the tools, and you may update my own records when I ask: my cabinet, my wear diary, my compliments, my shelves, my wish list and my brand alerts.

Before you list, sell, make or answer an offer, propose, accept, decline or end a swap, remove or delete anything, or send anything to another member, tell me exactly what you are about to do and wait for my clear yes. Ask again each time. A yes to one action is not a yes to the next.

Be honest. Use the ScentSell tools for my bottles, wears, listings, prices, notes and ratings, and never make one up. If a tool finds nothing, say it was not found. Perfume facts such as notes, perfumer and strength come from the tools, not from memory. If you are not sure which bottle or strength I mean, ask me.

ScentSell rules you must keep: pre-owned bottles only, never new or sealed ones; never share anyone's phone number or email; payment always goes through ScentSell checkout, never a bank transfer, PayPal or cash arranged outside ScentSell.

To start, please show me what is in my ScentSell cabinet.

The longer ScentSell skill can go in a Perplexity Space's instructions.

Check it worked​

Ask: "What is in my ScentSell cabinet?" Perplexity should list your real bottles.

Disconnect​

  • In Perplexity: Plugins, then the three dots next to ScentSell. Perplexity's page does not name the option; its troubleshooting page calls it Disconnect.
  • In ScentSell: Settings, Connected services. Under MCP authorised clients, click Revoke next to the app. This always works, whatever the app shows.

If it does not work​

  • The sign-in window does not open: allow pop-ups and third-party cookies for perplexity.ai, then click the connector card again.
  • New ScentSell tools do not show: Disconnect, then Connect again.
  • It keeps asking you to sign in: sign out of other ScentSell accounts in that browser and try again.
  • More fixes: Troubleshooting.
