Connect DonorAtlas to Perplexity

What you'll need

  • A DonorAtlas account.
  • A Perplexity Pro, Max, or Enterprise plan. Custom connectors aren't available on the free plan.
  • In an organization, an admin adds the connector for everyone. Members can add their own only if the admin has turned on Allow members to add custom connectors.
  1. 1

    Start a custom connector

    In Perplexity, go to Organization Settings → Connectors → + Custom connector.

  2. 2

    Name it and paste the server URL

    Name it DonorAtlas and paste the MCP server URL below.

    Name
    DonorAtlas
    MCP Server URL
    https://mcp.donoratlas.com
  3. 3

    Set up OAuth

    In Advanced, choose OAuth and paste the client ID below. Leave the client secret blank, and keep everything else the same. Click Add.

    Client ID
    tpc_k1imPwxTzywsURAqnLRSZ9
    This isn't a secret. It's the same for every Perplexity customer.
  4. 4

    Turn it on

    Still in Connectors, search for DonorAtlas, and enable the MCP server by toggling it on.

  5. 5

    Add it to your account

    Go back home, and click Customize on the left side, go to the Connectors tab (at the top), and search for DonorAtlas. Click on it and click Add connector. This will take you to log in.

  6. 6

    Test the connection

    Open a new chat and say “search for donors in New York City” or something similar. Your AI model should use DonorAtlas for this.

If something goes wrong

I don't see a Connectors section, or the custom option is missing.

Custom connectors need a Pro, Max, or Enterprise plan. In an organization, the admin also has to allow members to add them, so the simplest fix is to ask your admin to add DonorAtlas for the whole organization.
