Connect Greenhouse to Perplexity
Give Perplexity governed access to Greenhouse’s 156 tools through Runlayer, with identity, policy, scanning, and audit on every call.
Set up
Add Greenhouse to Perplexity in four steps
Admins approve the server once. Everyone in Perplexity then gets it through the same governed connection.
- 1
Add Greenhouse to Runlayer
Greenhouse isn’t in the Runlayer catalog yet, so an admin adds it by its MCP server URL.
Adding a connector manually - 2
Connect Perplexity to Runlayer
Users add the Runlayer Plugin to Perplexity by following Runlayer’s setup guide. Perplexity reaches Greenhouse’s 156 tools through the Runlayer Plugin’s search and execute tools instead of listing each one.

Control
What Runlayer can see and stop in Perplexity
Some controls apply to every client at the gateway. Others depend on what Perplexity exposes to Runlayer.
Gateway policy (available)
Every Greenhouse call from Perplexity passes through Runlayer, where your policies can allow, alert, mask, or block it.
Audit trail (available)
Each call is recorded with the user, Perplexity as the client, the tool, and the policy and scanner decisions.
Managed browser extension (available)
Managed Chrome, Edge, and Firefox deployments can monitor supported web-chat activity and apply prompt-time controls where the surface permits it.
Native enforcement adapter (not available)
Runlayer has no device-side adapter for Perplexity yet, so control happens at the gateway.
