Perplexity Pro, Max and Enterprise connect to custom remote MCP servers, in conversations and in Computer.
Start a free trial, paste your website so Brew writes your brand files, and connect your sending domain.
Go to Account settings → Connectors, click + Custom connector and choose Remote.
Name it Brew, enter https://brew.new/api/mcp, choose OAuth, accept the custom-connector notice and click Add, then click the card to sign in.
Describe the email or flow. Perplexity asks you to approve consequential writes, and Brew asks before anything sends.
Connect Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or Grok over MCP and your agent gets every Brew tool. It designs emails from your brand, builds audiences, runs automations and schedules sends. OAuth and organization-scoped MCP connections ask you to confirm live sends and launches. Brand-scoped API keys can execute permitted calls without the MCP confirmation step.
Paste your website and Brew writes your brand into two files your agent reads for every email. Describe the email and it appears on the canvas, ready to edit by hand or in chat.

Partly. Perplexity can research your market, draft copy with citations and send the odd email from your own Gmail. On its own it does not design a finished, on-brand email, hold your contacts, send from your domain or run automations.

Connected to Brew, Perplexity sends campaigns from your own domain to your audiences, with unsubscribes handled, after you approve.

Pro, Max or Enterprise. Perplexity’s free plan does not include connectors. In an Enterprise organization, an admin enables custom connectors for members.
Perplexity writes good copy, but on its own it does not design the email from your brand. Brew does: it writes your brand into files your agent reads for every email, then designs the layout, copy and images and tests how it renders.
No. Over OAuth, Brew asks you to confirm before anything is sent or goes live, so the assistant drafts and you approve.
