Marketing MCP for Perplexity Computer
Computer researches the web and acts on what it finds. Connect Spreeflo and the research can land as a segment, a draft, or a report in your workspace.

The agent
What is Perplexity Computer?
Perplexity Computer is Perplexity’s autonomous agent — multi-step tasks with memory, file access, and live web access. Custom remote connectors take an MCP server URL and an auth choice, which is all Spreeflo needs.
Research-first
It brings live web context to the task, so market or competitor findings can turn straight into audience work.
Auth your way
Custom connectors let you pick OAuth, an API key, or open authentication — the API-key path suits Spreeflo’s bearer key.
Repeatable workflows
Tasks it does well can be kept and re-run, so a weekly marketing report stops being something you assemble by hand.
Setup
Connect Perplexity Computer in about a minute
A Spreeflo API key, and one entry in Perplexity Computer.
Create an API key
In the Spreeflo app, go to Settings → API Keys and click + Add API Key. Name it Perplexity Computer so you can revoke this one connection later without touching the others.
Add the Spreeflo MCP server
Custom connector- 1.Open connector settings and choose to add a custom remote connector.
- 2.Enter the Spreeflo MCP server URL.
- 3.Pick API key auth and supply
Bearer <your key>, or use open auth with the key-in-URL form.
https://mcp.spreeflo.com/mcp
# Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_API_KEY>
# or, with open auth:
# https://mcp.spreeflo.com/mcp/<YOUR_API_KEY>Custom remote connectors require a Pro, Max or Enterprise plan on Perplexity’s side.
Check it works
Ask Perplexity Computer for something small — "list my Spreeflo audiences". A working connection is one where the connector answers from your workspace rather than from the web.
Full setup guide and troubleshootingIn practice
What Perplexity Computer does with it
Two ordinary requests, and the Spreeflo tools behind them.
Find what our competitors changed in pricing this quarter, then segment customers likely to care.
Researched the changes, then built an audience from the attributes that matched:
list_contact_attributescreate_segmentget_segment_preview
The web research is Perplexity’s; the segment is a real saved segment in Spreeflo.
Put together this week’s marketing report — sends, opens, clicks, and what moved.
Pulled the numbers across campaigns and web push, and the links people actually clicked:
get_campaign_performanceget_webpush_performancelist_link_clicks
Read-only, so it is safe to schedule as a recurring task.
Running it
Where research stops and your workspace begins
Computer is the only client here that brings outside information into the task. That is the whole appeal, and it also means the boundary between what it read on the web and what it writes to your contacts deserves more attention than it would with a local agent.
Web findings are not verified facts
A competitor’s pricing page read this morning is a good input to a segment definition. It is a poor thing to write into contact attributes as though it were first-party data. Let research shape the query, and keep what lands in the workspace to things your own events and attributes can support.
Recurring tasks are best kept read-only
Saved workflows are the strongest reason to pair these two — a marketing report that assembles itself weekly costs nothing to keep. Reporting tools are all reads, so a schedule cannot compound a mistake. A recurring task that writes is a different risk profile entirely.
API-key auth over open auth
Custom connectors let you choose. The API-key path carries Bearer <your key> as a header and is the cleaner fit for Spreeflo; open auth exists for clients that cannot send one and puts the key in the URL instead. Prefer the header form unless something stops you.
The connector is plan-gated
Custom remote connectors need Pro, Max or Enterprise on Perplexity’s side. That is Perplexity’s gate rather than Spreeflo’s — every Spreeflo plan that includes API access can serve the connection, so if the option is missing it is the subscription tier to check first.
Research quality is not workspace quality
It is tempting to treat a well-sourced answer as a well-founded segment. They are different claims: one is about the world, the other is about who is in your audience. Preview a segment before you act on it — get_segment_preview shows you the actual contacts — rather than trusting that a confident narrative produced a sensible query.
Why this pairing
Perplexity Computer + Spreeflo
- Live web research feeding real audience work
- API-key auth suits Spreeflo’s bearer key directly
- Recurring tasks turn reports into something automatic
- Reads reflect the workspace, not a stale export
- Sends, deletes and publishes refused server-side
Coverage
Everything it can touch
The same surfaces you work with in the app, exposed as tools — and a short list that is deliberately off limits.
Computer leans on the insight column hardest — performance, clicks and events pulled into a report — with segment work as the place its research actually lands.

- Audiences and contacts
- Segments, static and dynamic
- Tags
- Custom contact attributes
- CSV import
Sending
- Campaigns and journeys
- Email templates

What MCP refuses to do
These are irreversible or they reach real people, so they are removed from the surface rather than left to your client's confirmation settings. A person does them in the app.
