How do I connect Reddit Ads to Perplexity?

In Perplexity open Plugins, choose Add custom, then Connector, then Add MCP connector, select Remote and paste https://mcp.paidsync.ai/mcp with OAuth 2.0 and Streamable HTTP. Click the PaidSync connector card, sign in to PaidSync and press Approve, then ask Perplexity to connect your Reddit Ads account. No API key is needed. Full steps are above.

Is there an official Reddit Ads MCP server?

We found none. Reddit's Ads API docs describe a developer API and list no MCP server or AI connector (checked 30 Sep 2026). PaidSync connects Reddit Ads to Perplexity through one endpoint, https://mcp.paidsync.ai/mcp, with OAuth sign-in.

Can Perplexity create Reddit campaigns through PaidSync?

No. PaidSync works on Reddit campaigns that already exist. It reads performance, pauses and enables campaigns, and changes budgets, bids, statuses and names on campaigns and ad groups. New campaigns, ad groups and ads are built in Reddit Ads Manager.

What Reddit Ads data can Perplexity read?

Impressions, clicks, spend, key conversions and purchase conversions at account, campaign, ad group or ad level, for the date range you name, plus lists of your campaigns, ad groups and ads. Money comes back in the ad account's own currency.

How many Reddit Ads tools does PaidSync have?

14, inside one server of 630+ tools across 14 platforms. They cover connecting and picking an ad account, performance reports, and pause, enable, budget and setting changes on campaigns and ad groups.

How much does PaidSync cost?

Free for 15 tasks with no credit card. Pro starts at $99 a month for 600 tasks. Team starts at $249 a month for 5 seats and 6,000 tasks. Done For You is custom.

Does the same PaidSync connection work in other assistants?

Yes. PaidSync is one endpoint, https://mcp.paidsync.ai/mcp, with OAuth sign-in, and the same login works in Claude, Claude Code, ChatGPT, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot through Copilot Studio, Cursor and Windsurf. Set up PaidSync once and use it from any of them.

Connect Reddit Ads to Perplexity in 3 Steps

How to connect Reddit Ads to Perplexity with PaidSync

This is the route through Perplexity's custom connectors. No API key is needed, because Perplexity connects with a PaidSync sign-in (OAuth).

Before you start

Custom connectors are a Perplexity feature you add in step 1, and nothing needs installing. On a Perplexity Enterprise organization, an admin must first allow members to add custom connectors.
Signing in with Google? There is no separate sign-up. You pick Continue with Google in step 2, and your free PaidSync account (15 tasks, no credit card) is created when you press Approve.
Prefer an email and password? Create the account at paidsync.ai/signup before you start. The sign-up link inside the sign-in window opens the website and does not bring you back to Perplexity.
Know which Reddit login can open your Reddit ad accounts. You use it in step 3.

Add PaidSync to Perplexity as a custom connector

In Perplexity open Plugins in the sidebar (or Customize, then Connectors), choose Add custom, then Connector, then Add MCP connector, and select Remote. Name it PaidSync and paste the server URL:

https://mcp.paidsync.ai/mcp

Set authentication to OAuth 2.0 and transport to Streamable HTTP. PaidSync supports dynamic client registration, so the Client ID and Client Secret fields stay empty. Tick the acknowledgement, click Add, then click the PaidSync connector card and sign in with your PaidSync login. A custom connector needs a Perplexity plan that includes them, and on an Enterprise organization an admin must allow members to add custom connectors first.

Sign in to PaidSync and press Approve

The PaidSync sign-in screen opens. Pick Continue with Google, or sign in with your PaidSync email and password. A PaidSync screen then asks whether to allow Perplexity to manage your ad accounts via PaidSync. Press Approve and PaidSync is connected.

New to PaidSync and signing in with Google? Your free account (15 tasks, no credit card) is created when you press Approve. The screen also mentions ad accounts already connected inside PaidSync. On a new account that list stays empty until you finish step 3.

Connect your Reddit Ads account and ask Perplexity

In any chat, ask: "Connect my Reddit Ads." Perplexity replies with a link that opens Reddit's own sign-in and consent screen. Sign in with the Reddit login that can open your ad accounts and allow access. PaidSync never sees your Reddit password.

Come back and ask: "List my Reddit ad accounts." Perplexity uses list_reddit_accounts to show them and set_active_reddit_account to pick the one you name. Connecting, listing and picking an account uses none of your tasks. Then try: "Show my Reddit campaign performance for the last 7 days." You can also connect Reddit Ads from the PaidSync workspace instead. Both routes use the same PaidSync login, so Perplexity sees the account either way.

What PaidSync can and cannot do on Reddit Ads

PaidSync has 14 Reddit Ads tools. They work on campaigns and ad groups that already run.

PaidSync can

Report on performance. get_reddit_performance returns impressions, clicks, spend, key conversions and purchase conversions at account, campaign, ad group or ad level, in the ad account's own currency.
List what runs. list_reddit_campaigns, list_reddit_adgroups and list_reddit_ads show the campaigns, ad groups and ads on the account.
Pause and enable campaigns. pause_reddit_campaign and enable_reddit_campaign.
Change budgets. update_reddit_campaign_budget sets the daily budget of a campaign that uses campaign budget optimization. Other daily budgets sit on the ad group and change with update_reddit_adgroup.
Change settings. update_reddit_adgroup changes an ad group's status, daily budget, bid or name, and update_reddit_campaign changes a campaign's status or name.

PaidSync cannot

No new campaigns, ad groups or ads. Build them in Reddit Ads Manager, then manage them from Perplexity.
Upload creative or edit targeting. Creative, subreddits, interests and audiences are set in Reddit Ads Manager.
Delete or archive. PaidSync has no Reddit delete or archive tool.

Reddit Ads prompts to try in Perplexity

Each prompt runs on the PaidSync tools named after it and uses one or more of your tasks. Changes made with the update tools preview as a dry run before they apply, and PaidSync reads the result back from Reddit afterwards.

"Show my Reddit campaigns from the last 7 days with spend, clicks and conversions." Runs get_reddit_performance at campaign level.
"Which Reddit ad groups spent more than $100 in the last 14 days with no key conversions?" Runs get_reddit_performance at ad group level.
"Pause the Spring Launch campaign on Reddit." Runs list_reddit_campaigns to find it, then pause_reddit_campaign. A pause has no dry run, so your assistant asks you before it pauses, and enable_reddit_campaign turns the campaign back on.
"Preview lowering the daily budget of the Retargeting ad group to $40." Runs update_reddit_adgroup, which previews by default.
"Preview raising the bid on the Prospecting ad group to $1.20 and renaming it Prospecting US." Runs update_reddit_adgroup with the new bid and name.

Why use PaidSync for Reddit Ads in Perplexity

Reddit tools that act. PaidSync's 14 Reddit Ads tools cover account access, reports, and pause, enable, budget and setting changes on campaigns and ad groups that already run.

Reddit next to your other channels. The same connection covers 14 platforms with 630+ tools, including Google Ads, Meta, LinkedIn and TikTok, so Perplexity can put Reddit results beside your other channels in one conversation.

Previews before updates. The update tools preview a budget, bid, status or name change as a dry run before it applies and read the result back from Reddit afterwards. In the PaidSync workspace, by default, every change is an approval card.

Troubleshooting Reddit Ads in Perplexity

The sign-in fails. Sign in to PaidSync the way you signed up, with Continue with Google or with your PaidSync email and password. Email users without an account create one at paidsync.ai/signup, then click the PaidSync connector card in Perplexity again. If Reddit's own consent screen fails, ask Perplexity "Connect my Reddit Ads" again for a fresh link.
Perplexity picked the wrong ad account. Ask Perplexity to list your Reddit ad accounts and switch to the one you mean, by name or ID. It runs list_reddit_accounts, then set_active_reddit_account, and every Reddit request after that goes to the account you picked. Switching uses none of your tasks.
An ad account is not listed. PaidSync lists the ad accounts that your connected Reddit login can open. Check in Reddit Ads Manager that your login has access to that ad account, or ask the account admin to add you, then ask Perplexity to list your ad accounts again. Still missing? Email support@paidsync.ai.
A campaign budget change is refused. update_reddit_campaign_budget works on campaigns that use campaign budget optimization. On other campaigns the daily budget sits on the ad group, so ask Perplexity to change it there with update_reddit_adgroup.
Perplexity says it has no Reddit tool. PaidSync shows Perplexity a short starter list of tools to keep the chat light. Ask Perplexity to call paidsync_context. It returns your connected platforms and the full tool list, Reddit included, and Perplexity then runs those tools through paidsync_exec. If PaidSync is missing from Perplexity altogether, check that its connector card is enabled under Plugins.
