For research-to-social workflows
Social media scheduling for Perplexity Computer
Use Creagency as the action layer after research: pick channels, create drafts, attach media, and let a person approve publishing.
Perplexity provides research context; Creagency provides the social scheduling API, CLI, and local MCP tooling.
Research-backed campaign
Turn a research summary into several social drafts.
Prompt
Use Creagency to draft three posts from this research summary: one LinkedIn post and two X posts. Keep all claims tied to the source notes.Scoped API key
Draft first
Confirmed publish
Quick start
Get Perplexity working with Creagency.
Move from research to scheduled social drafts.
1
Create a scoped Creagency API key
Use a key with post, asset, and integration scopes. The agent should not receive your social platform passwords.
2
Install the local tooling
Install @creagency/agent, export CREAGENCY_API_KEY, and verify the workspace with auth:status and integrations:list.
3
Add the Creagency skill
Give the agent the Creagency API rules so it knows account discovery, media upload, draft creation, and publish confirmation.
4
Run the first draft
Ask for a draft and require the agent to show the connected account and post summary before scheduling or publishing.
Setup
Use the surface that matches how Perplexity runs.
Skill files teach the rules, CLI commands handle terminal workflows, and local stdio MCP gives supported agent clients bounded tools.
Skill
Install the Creagency skill so Perplexity uses the real API rules instead of inventing endpoints.
Steps
Install the skill file in the agent's supported skill directory.
Tell the agent to read the skill before it drafts, uploads media, or prepares publish actions.
Keep API keys outside prompts and chat transcripts.
Install the Creagency skill
Use this for agents that read local skill files.
mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills/creagency-api
curl -fsSL https://creagency.ai/.agents/skills/creagency-api/SKILL.md \
-o ~/.agents/skills/creagency-api/SKILL.mdCLI
Use parseable terminal commands when the agent can run local shell tools.
Steps
Install @creagency/agent globally or call it with npx.
Set CREAGENCY_API_KEY and CREAGENCY_API_ORIGIN in the shell or agent environment.
Run auth:status and integrations:list before creating a post.
Creagency CLI baseline
Start every local agent setup with an auth check and account discovery.
npm install -g @creagency/agent
export CREAGENCY_API_KEY=creagency_xxx
export CREAGENCY_API_ORIGIN=https://api.creagency.ai
creagency auth:status --json
creagency integrations:list --jsonLocal MCP
Run creagency-mcp as a local stdio server so Perplexity can use bounded Creagency tools. Hosted remote MCP is planned as a separate OAuth-based connector. Use the local CLI and stdio MCP server today.
Steps
Point the agent client at the creagency-mcp stdio command.
Pass CREAGENCY_API_KEY through the environment rather than inline config.
Use prepare tools for publish and delete, then require the returned confirmation token.

Perplexity prompts you can actually use.
Research-backed campaign
Turn a research summary into several social drafts.
Prompt
Use Creagency to draft three posts from this research summary: one LinkedIn post and two X posts. Keep all claims tied to the source notes.Expected outcome
Three drafts are created with source-aware wording.
Content calendar fill
Convert research angles into a week of draft posts.
Prompt
Suggest a five-post social calendar from this research. After I approve the plan, create the drafts in Creagency.Expected outcome
The agent separates planning from draft creation.
Competitive summary
Turn a competitor note into a careful brand-safe post.
Prompt
Create one LinkedIn draft from this competitive summary. Avoid naming competitors unless the source text already does.Expected outcome
A brand-safe draft is created without overclaiming.
Asset-backed insight
Attach a chart or image to a research post.
Prompt
Upload ./chart.png and create one LinkedIn draft explaining the main insight in plain language.Expected outcome
The image is attached and the post stays in draft.
Safety
Keep the agent useful without handing over your channels.
Read connected accounts before creating or scheduling content.
Keep API keys in environment variables and never print them in chat.
Create drafts first when the user has not explicitly asked to schedule.
Prepare publish and delete actions before execution, then ask for confirmation.
Troubleshooting
When the first run does not work.
Perplexity cannot see connected accounts.
Run creagency auth:status --json, then integrations:list --json. If the list is empty, connect social accounts in Creagency first.
A post command fails with a missing scope.
Create or rotate the API key with posts:read, posts:write, assets:read, assets:write, and integrations:read.
The agent tries to publish immediately.
Point it back to the skill rule: create or schedule a draft first unless the user explicitly confirms publish.
FAQ
What Perplexity users usually ask first.
Can the agent publish without approval?
Creagency local MCP publish and delete flows are two-step. The agent prepares the action, shows the summary, and only executes after confirmation.
Is hosted remote MCP available now?
Not generally. The available path is the local CLI and stdio MCP package. Hosted remote MCP with OAuth is planned separately.
Does the agent need social account passwords?
No. Social channels connect through Creagency and platform OAuth. Agents use scoped Creagency API keys.
Set up Perplexity Computer with Creagency.
Install the skill, connect the CLI or local MCP server, and start with one draft that your team can review.
