**Step 2: Configure the Kick Connector**

1. Choose **Remote** if asked for a connector type  
2. Enter `Kick` as the name  
3. Enter the Kick MCP URL: `https://use.kick.co/mcp`  
4. Set **Transport** to **Streamable HTTP**  
5. Choose authentication method:  
   * **OAuth** — Recommended for standard Kick login  
   * **API Key** — For token-based authentication  
   * **None** — For read-only public access (rarely used)  
6. Review the custom connector risk acknowledgement  
7. Click **Add**

**Step 4: Enable Kick in a Conversation**

Once authorized, enable Kick before using it in a conversation.

1. Start a new conversation in Perplexity  
2. Enable the connector from the prompt or tools area  
3. The Kick connector should appear as available

***

#### Verify Your Connection

Test that everything is working by starting a conversation with Kick enabled and asking:

```
List the Kick tools you can use and confirm the active workspace.
```

Perplexity should respond with available tools (like `transactions_query`, `reports_query`, `context_browse`) and your active workspace name.

***

#### Troubleshooting

**Can't Add Custom Connectors**

**Admin-controlled**: Organization admins may control whether members can add custom connectors.

**Solution**: Contact your organization admin and ask them to enable custom connectors or add Kick MCP for your organization.

**Authorization Failed**

The authorization didn't complete successfully.

1. Go to Account settings → Connectors  
2. Remove the Kick connector  
3. Add it again and complete the authorization flow  
4. Make sure you click **Authorize** on the Kick authorization page

**Wrong Workspace Showing**

Your Kick account has access to multiple workspaces. Tell Perplexity which workspace you want to use:

```
Please switch to the [workspace name] workspace.
```

***

#### **Data Privacy and Security**

* **Your data stays in Kick**: Perplexity requests data through the MCP connection but doesn't store your Kick data permanently  
* **Workspace permissions apply**: Perplexity can only access workspaces you already have permission to view in Kick  
* **You control access**: You can disconnect Kick at any time from the Connectors settings  
* **Confirmation required for changes**: Write operations require your explicit approval before execution

***

#### Next Steps

Now that you're connected:

1. Try a sample query: "List my workspaces" or "What tools can you use?"  
2. Ask complex financial questions and get cited, verified answers from your Kick data  
3. Check out the [Kick MCP Use Case Library](/ai/mcp/mcp-use-case-library.md) for advanced use cases
