This article explains how to upload a custom plugin or import one from GitHub when the plugin you need is not in the catalog, what the package must contain, and how personal and organization plugins differ. A custom plugin bundles skills and connectors into one package that Perplexity Computer can install in a single step. For adding a single custom skill or custom connector, see [How to use Computer Skills](https://www.perplexity.ai/help-center/help-center/en/articles/13914413-how-to-use-computer-skills.md) and [Adding Custom Remote Connectors](https://www.perplexity.ai/help-center/help-center/en/articles/13915507-adding-custom-remote-connectors.md). To add either one to your own account, start from the **Add custom** menu. > [!NOTE] > > Plugin upload needs the **Plugins** page. If your organization hasn't turned on Plugins yet, keep using **Customize → Connectors** and **Skills** to add skills and connectors. Everything there works as before. ## Before you start ## What a plugin package contains A plugin package is a `.zip` file with a `plugin.json` manifest. The manifest must include a `name`. A `description` is optional and can be omitted or empty. If provided, it must be a string of up to 1,024 UTF-8 bytes. Put `plugin.json` at the root of the archive, or upload a Claude Code or Codex plugin as it is. When there is no `plugin.json` at the root, Perplexity reads `.claude-plugin/plugin.json` or `.codex-plugin/plugin.json` instead. If you compress the plugin folder itself, that single top-level folder is fine. The package can contain: A plugin must include at least one skill or connector. Limits per plugin: > [!NOTE] > > If the package lists more than 15 servers, Perplexity imports only the first 15. Perplexity skips servers beyond the limit, local `stdio` servers, servers without a `type`, servers that require fixed headers, server URLs that contain unresolved variable placeholders, and servers your account is not allowed to add as a connector. The upload still succeeds. After uploading, open the plugin's page and confirm every connector you expected is listed. ## Upload a plugin **1. Open the Plugins page** Select **Plugins** in the sidebar. **2. Select Add custom, then Upload plugin or skill** If you are allowed to create plugins for your organization, you also see **Upload plugin or skill to organization**. **3. Drag your .zip file into the upload area, or click to choose it** The upload area shows the file requirements. **4. Check that the plugin's skills and connectors are listed** The plugin opens on its own page. If you uploaded a personal plugin, it is installed for you right away. **5. Connect any connectors you want to use** If the upload is rejected, check that the manifest includes a name and that it's at the root of the archive or in the Claude Code or Codex location. ## Import a plugin from GitHub You can import a plugin directly from a public GitHub repository instead of downloading and zipping it yourself. The same file requirements and limits apply as for an uploaded `.zip`. **1. Open the Plugins page** Select **Plugins** in the sidebar. **2. Select Add custom, then Import plugin from GitHub** **3. Paste the repository URL** Only public repositories can be imported. To import a single plugin from a repository that contains several, paste the URL of that plugin's folder. **4. Check that the plugin's skills and connectors are listed** ## How to verify it worked The plugin opens on its own page with its skills and connectors listed, and appears on the **Installed** tab. If a connector you expected is missing, check the import rules above. ## Personal and organization plugins If you belong to an organization, your administrator controls whether you can upload or create personal plugins and skills, and whether you can create organization plugins and skills. If you have a personal plugin you want to share, open it and select **Transfer to organization**; your personal preferences for the plugin are preserved. Administrators manage organization plugins from **Organization settings → Plugins and skills**; see [Manage plugins for your organization](https://www.perplexity.ai/help-center/help-center/en/articles/2026100801-manage-plugins-for-your-organization.md). > [!NOTE] > > Members cannot create organization connectors, including by uploading a plugin that declares a new connector. A plugin you upload can reference connectors your organization already has. Connectors inside your plugin follow your organization's connector settings and role permissions. ## Update or delete a plugin you uploaded To update a plugin, open it, select **More actions**, then **Replace file** to upload a new `.zip`. To remove it entirely, choose **Delete plugin**. Deleting permanently removes the plugin and its bundle; it does not disconnect the connectors it referenced. To stop using a plugin without deleting it, select **Uninstall** instead. See [Find, install, and remove plugins](https://www.perplexity.ai/help-center/help-center/en/articles/2026100702-find-install-and-remove-plugins.md). ## Related articles ## Need more help?
