Why use Moonya from Perplexity
Moonya's post-from-your-text tool only uses facts from the text it is given. That pairs well with Perplexity: let it gather and check the information, then hand that summary to Moonya so the post says what the sources say and nothing more.
Perplexity connects to Moonya with an API key, so you create the key in Moonya first and paste it as a header when you add the connector.
Moonya is a social media autopilot for small businesses and agencies. It learns your brand from your website, creates carousels, single image posts, Stories and short videos in your brand colors and fonts, and publishes them to Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, TikTok, Threads, YouTube, Pinterest and Google Business, plus X as a paid add-on.
What you can do from Perplexity
These are the things the Moonya connector actually exposes to Perplexity. Every tool is listed in plain language in the MCP documentation.
- Brand Brain. Read and update what Moonya knows about your brand, analyse your website, add a PDF or DOCX brand document and save rules every future post follows.
- Posts and drafts. Get topic ideas, then create carousels, single image posts and Stories from a topic or from your own text. The slides come back as images.
- Review and schedule. Edit captions, hashtags and slide text, rewrite a draft from a plain instruction, change a slide photo, then approve, schedule, skip or move posts, up to 30 at once.
- Your own photos and videos. Use your Gallery, schedule up to 10 of your own photos at once and invite up to 3 Instagram collaborators on a feed post, carousel or Reel.
- Automations. Recurring post automations that create drafts on a schedule, plus comment-to-DM automations for Instagram and Facebook with results.
- Inbox and analytics. Read messages, comments and reviews, reply as the brand after you approve the exact text, and see reach, engagement, best time and top posts.
- Video. Reels from your clips or photos with a voiceover, a talking AI presenter and animated explainers: you see the script and the credit price before anything renders. Video tools appear when video is enabled for your workspace.
- Agencies. On the Agency plan one connection can cover all client brands. Say which brand you mean and Moonya switches, keeping brands strictly separate.
Connect Moonya to Perplexity in 3 steps
Before you start
- A Moonya account with an active plan or the 7-day trial for $1. Every plan includes the AI assistant connector.
- A Moonya API key. In Moonya open Settings, AI assistants (MCP), click Create key, give it a name and pick Perplexity as the tool. The key is shown once, and Moonya shows the ready-made setting for Perplexity with the key already filled in. Only the workspace owner can create keys.
- To publish, at least one social network connected in Moonya. Drafts work without one.
Perplexity (web, desktop, Comet)
- Settings → Connectors → "+ Custom connector" → Remote (Pro, Max or Enterprise)
- Paste the address, Transport: Streamable HTTP, Authentication: API Key
- Paste the header below (Authorization: Bearer and your key) and save
Address and header (replace <KEY> with your key):
https://moonya.ai/mcp
Authorization: Bearer <KEY>To check that it works, ask: “What do you know about my brand?” Perplexity should answer with what Moonya has in your Brand Brain. Moonya's tools load when a conversation starts, so new features show up in a new chat.
Things to ask in Perplexity
Write in your own words, in English or Serbian. Here is what happens behind each request.
“Summarize the three biggest changes in this year's Instagram features for small businesses, then turn the summary into a Moonya carousel.”
Perplexity researches, Moonya confirms the cost and creates one carousel from the summary text.
“What is waiting for my approval in Moonya?”
Moonya lists the drafts and shows their slides as images.
“Approve the carousel and schedule it for Wednesday at 6 pm.”
Moonya schedules it, or picks the nearest safe slot and tells you why.
“Remember: never mention prices in our posts.”
Moonya saves the rule, and every future post follows it.
Your photos and videos
Perplexity cannot pass a file from your computer to Moonya. Add photos and videos in the Moonya Gallery in the app (drag and drop), or give Moonya a public link to a photo, then ask Perplexity to use them.
Good to know
- Nothing is published without your approval. New posts and videos are drafts. They go out only after you approve or schedule them, in Perplexity or in the Moonya app.
- Credits are confirmed first. Tools that cost credits tell you the exact cost and wait for your yes. A repeated request never charges twice. Drafts take 2 to 4 minutes, and Perplexity checks back until the draft is ready.
- Irreversible actions ask first. Publishing right now, deleting and replying to a message, comment or review need your confirmation.
- Posting limits protect your accounts. Moonya spaces out posts on the same network and moves a post to the nearest safe time when needed, and tells you why.
- Plans. The connector is included in Starter ($29), Pro ($79) and Agency ($199) per month, each with a 7-day trial for $1. Some video formats unlock once the trial ends and the plan is paid. See pricing.
- You stay in control of access. Revoke a key at any time in Moonya under Settings, AI assistants (MCP); it stops working immediately. Moonya does not read your chat history.
Troubleshooting
- You cannot add a custom connector. Custom connectors are available on Perplexity Pro, Max and Enterprise.
- The connector does not authenticate. Choose Streamable HTTP as the transport and API Key as the authentication, and paste the full header: Authorization: Bearer followed by your key.
- A tool returns an error. Moonya explains the fix in plain words and gives a link when the fix needs the browser, for example connecting a network or billing.
