Which Perplexity app supports this?

The Perplexity app for Mac. MCP connectors live in the Mac app's settings; the web and mobile apps don't offer the Connectors panel today.

If I connect Serphouse API to Perplexity, can I use the same connection in Claude or ChatGPT later?

Yes, and that's the point: the connection is yours, not Perplexity's. You paste the same link in any AI you use, and there's nothing new to set up or pay again. Connect a new AI and Serphouse API is already there.

Do I need to hand my Serphouse API password to Perplexity?

Never. You sign in once at Vinkius, and we keep your logins encrypted and away from your AI. Perplexity only ever sees the link, and you can remove it whenever you want.

What can I actually ask Perplexity to do with Serphouse API?

Whatever the Connector covers: check data, run actions and bring answers back into the thread. The Connector page lists every capability your AI gains, with real examples you can copy.

Perplexity doesn't show the Connector. What do I check?

Make sure the connector shows Running in the Connectors list and that it's switched on under Sources on the homepage, then confirm the Connector is active in your Vinkius account. A deactivated Connector stops responding.

Can I remove the access later?

Anytime. Remove the connector in Perplexity's Connectors settings and it's out of your threads. Your Vinkius account keeps the connection and its history either way, ready for the next AI.

Perplexity + Serphouse API

One thread. Your Serphouse API, live inside Perplexity.

Real prompts, answered with live data. This is the kind of conversation you will have in Perplexity once the connector is in.

Waiting for input…

Works with modern AI clients that support MCP, including ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and more.

These prompts ship with the Serphouse API Connector. Once yours is connected, they work in your threads.

The full capability set, the prompts and the observed latency live on the Serphouse API Connector page.

Mission Control

See everything your Perplexity agents do in Serphouse API.

When Perplexity runs a tool in Serphouse API, it happens on Perplexity's side: you see the answer, but not the request itself, what data it carried, or whether a rule was broken.

Now every move lands on your screen.

Every execution is recorded, enforced, and shown to you: what ran, what it returned, what was blocked, and why.

Request Volume & Latency

requests latency

Every request your Perplexity agents make through Serphouse API is logged, enforced and auditable. See how AI Governance turns agent activity into accountability, and what it means for your Serphouse API workflows.

What sets us apart

It's not just the Connector that stays safe. Everything your agents do through it is.

Connecting Serphouse API to your AI is step one. But an open line between your agents and Serphouse API is only half the story: without protection, every action they take runs unguarded.

That's why protection doesn't stop at the door.

Every action your agents take through the Connector runs inside our infrastructure: signed activity logs, automatic key rotation, spending limits that pause instead of surprise, and a sandbox that isolates every execution.

Tamper Proof Activity Log

Every request your agents make in Serphouse API is recorded and signed, so any change to the history becomes detectable.

Automatic Key Rotation

We rotate security keys every 24 hours. Your Serphouse API connection stays protected without any manual work.

Spending Protection

We enforce the spending limit you choose and pause actions that exceed it until approval is received. Your Serphouse API actions never surprise you.

Isolated Sandbox

Every execution through Serphouse API runs isolated, with 34+ security rules covering memory, CPU, network access, file handling and execution.

Security Event Streaming

Security events flow to Splunk, Datadog or your own webhook, so Serphouse API activity lands in the tools you already rely on.

Instant Resume

Idle connections resume in 3 to 5 ms while preserving their state, keeping your Perplexity threads responsive.

Malicious File Protection

We detect compressed files designed to exhaust system resources and block them before they ever reach Serphouse API.

Credential Validation

We test your Serphouse API credentials before saving them. Invalid credentials are rejected instead of being stored.

Separate Usage Limits

Usage stays isolated per account, so activity in one connection never consumes another account's allowance.

One Connector, one link, and the whole operation is protected. Not just the connection: everything your agents do through it.

These guarantees are not add-ons: they are the infrastructure every Serphouse API connection runs on. Read how our infrastructure protects everything your Perplexity agents do, end to end.
