Pin to Pinterest from Perplexity Computer

# One-time setup: coming
Install the ClipSpeed skill (when available) or add the ClipSpeed MCP server at https://api.clipspeed.ai/mcp, then list my connected channels.
# Then ask Perplexity Computer:
> Pin the recipe card to the Dinners board tomorrow at 8pm with a title and a link to the post
Perplexity Computer: Preview — nothing booked yet. Pinterest — title ≤100. Book it?Status: coming. ClipSpeed has not verified Perplexity Computer and the skill is not yet published.
- Ask Perplexity Computer whether it can add an HTTP MCP server. If so, add https://api.clipspeed.ai/mcp with an API key stored as a secret.
- Otherwise wait for the ClipSpeed skill; the badge on this page changes when it ships.
- Ask it to list your channels.

What can Perplexity Computer do on Pinterest?
On Pinterest, Perplexity Computer can publish image and video Pins with a title, description and link to a board. Every booking runs through the same rules as the ClipSpeed app.
Image and Video posts
Pinterest takes image and video through ClipSpeed. Video: MP4 or MOV; 4 seconds to 15 minutes on Pinterest. Image: JPG or PNG; 2:3 is the recommended Pin ratio.
500 characters, checked at booking
Pinterest's own arithmetic. Too long is refused with the real count, never trimmed at send time. Titles are required and cap at 100.
Exact time or refused
Name the minute and Perplexity Computer books it, or you are told why not and offered the next open slot. A booked Pinterest post is never moved behind your back.
Preview before anything posts
preview: true runs the whole booking and writes nothing. Perplexity Computer shows the plan, with each slot and the day's remaining cap, and books only on your yes.
Clips cut in the same chat
Submit a video or stream link, get captioned 9:16 clips with a viral score, and post the best as native video on Pinterest. No download, no re-upload.
Pacing and numbers
Planned: Image posts on Pinterest are at least 60 minutes apart, up to 4 a day. Video on Pinterest is at least 4 hours apart, up to 4 a day under your plan. After a post goes out, Perplexity Computer can read back views and engagement where Pinterest provides them.
How does Perplexity Computer post to Pinterest through ClipSpeed?
You describe what you want in plain language and Perplexity Computer makes the ClipSpeed calls. A typical conversation has three beats.
Find your Pinterest channel
Ask Perplexity Computer whether Pinterest is connected. It calls list_channels and reads platform_settings, so it also knows what Pinterest accepts and the limits before you write a word.
Compose within the rules
Describe the post. Perplexity Computer drafts within Pinterest's limits; mention a clip or a file and it attaches it.
Schedule or publish
Name a time, or say now. The slot is booked exactly or refused with the next open one, and the reply carries the id you can cancel or edit by.
Pinterest settings reference
These are the schedule_post fields that apply to Pinterest. Mention any of them in plain language and Perplexity Computer sets them; the server checks them at booking. Fields marked planned land with the Pinterest release.
| Field | Type | Required | What it does on Pinterest |
|---|---|---|---|
platforms | string[] | Yes | Include "pinterest". Up to ten platforms per call; each books its own slot. |
title | string | Yes | The Pin title, up to 100 characters. |
text | string | No | The description, up to 500 characters. |
board | string | Planned | The board the Pin is saved to. Lands with the Pinterest release. |
media_kind | image | video | No | Detected from the file when omitted. |
clip_id or media_url | string | One of the two | A ClipSpeed clip or a public link to an image or video. |
scheduled_at | ISO 8601 | No | Exact or refused with the next open slot. |
preview | boolean | No | Plan only. |

Pinterest limits and gotchas to know
Pinterest enforces a few rules that Perplexity Computer and ClipSpeed respect automatically, but knowing them helps you phrase requests.
- A title is required and capped at 100 characters; the description is capped at 500. Over either is refused at booking.
- Pins want 2:3 vertical images. A 9:16 clip works as a video Pin; a landscape image is accepted but cropped in the feed.
- Pinterest takes images and video only. Text-only requests are refused with a message naming what Pinterest accepts.
- Pinterest is the next rail. Until it posts, bookings are refused plainly and the badge says Coming soon.
- Planned pacing: four image Pins a day an hour apart, video Pins four hours apart.
| Rule | |
|---|---|
| Accepts | Image, Video |
| Text limit | 500 characters |
| Title | 100 characters, required |
| Links in the caption | A destination link is a separate field on a Pin, kept and clickable |
| Pacing | Planned: Image posts on Pinterest are at least 60 minutes apart, up to 4 a day. Video on Pinterest is at least 4 hours apart, up to 4 a day under your plan. |
| Formats | Image: JPG or PNG; 2:3 is the recommended Pin ratio. Video: MP4 or MOV; 4 seconds to 15 minutes on Pinterest. Aspect: 2:3 vertical |
| Status | Coming next on ClipSpeed's rail; bookings are refused with a plain message until then |
What Postiz-style schedulers cannot do
Cut the clips first
Perplexity Computer does not need finished video to start. Hand it a YouTube link, a podcast, a stream VOD or a local export. ClipSpeed finds the moments, cuts them to 9:16 with word-by-word captions, scores each one 0 to 100 for shareability, and returns them in the same conversation. Perplexity Computer picks by score, writes the caption from the transcript, and books the clips on Pinterest. Three tool calls, one approval, no download and no re-upload.
- Clips arrive with a title written from the hook, a transcript and a viral score, so the agent can choose and caption without watching the footage.
- Live streams can be clipped while they are still on air; the agent books the highlights for the next morning before the stream ends.
- Every clip is already hosted, so
schedule_posttakes its id directly. Nothing moves through your laptop.
submit_to_clipspeedPaste the link. ClipSpeed starts the job and returns a project id.check_clipsPoll with the project id. Back come the finished 9:16 clips with titles, transcripts, viral scores and preview links.schedule_postPass the clip id, the platforms, a caption and a time. Perplexity Computer shows the plan with preview: true, you say yes, it books.generate_image or generate_videoDescribe the shot. ClipSpeed runs it on the model that fits (Seedance, Kling, Veo, Nano Banana Pro, GPT Image and others) and quotes the credits first.wait_for_generationReturns the hosted result link and a preview the agent can show you.schedule_post with media_urlThe result link goes straight into the booking on Pinterest. The caption, the time and the file are approved together.The other half nobody else has
Generate the image or video, then post it
A product shot for Instagram, a 16:9 announcement graphic for X, a six-second opener before a clip: Perplexity Computer can make an image or a short video with ClipSpeed's image and video models and book the result in the same reply. There is no separate design tool, no export, no upload page. The generated file is hosted, so media_url is the only thing the booking needs.
- The price in credits is quoted before anything renders, within the per-generation and daily caps you set in Settings.
- Results are previewed in the conversation, so you approve the picture and the post at once.
- Images post as JPG, PNG or WebP up to 25 MB; video posts as MP4, MOV or WebM up to 1 GB.
What is Perplexity Computer?
Perplexity Computer is Perplexity's agent that works on a cloud computer: it browses, runs commands and completes multi-step tasks. ClipSpeed's CLI and SKILL.md, which it would install, are in progress. Where it can add an HTTP MCP server, the ClipSpeed URL works today.

Pinterest and Perplexity Computer: frequently asked questions
How do I pin to Pinterest from Perplexity Computer?
Ask Perplexity Computer whether it can add an HTTP MCP server. If so, add https://api.clipspeed.ai/mcp with an API key stored as a secret. Otherwise wait for the ClipSpeed skill; the badge on this page changes when it ships. Connect Pinterest in ClipSpeed (or ask Perplexity Computer for a connect link; it is private and valid for ten minutes), then describe the post in plain language. Perplexity Computer reads the Pinterest rules, drafts within them, shows the plan and books on your yes. Pinterest is coming next; until the badge changes, the booking is refused with a plain message.
What can Perplexity Computer post to Pinterest through ClipSpeed?
Publish image and video Pins with a title, description and link to a board. Pinterest takes image and video posts; a text-only request is refused with a message naming what it accepts. Text is limited to 500 characters. A title is required and is capped at 100 characters.
Which Pinterest settings can Perplexity Computer control?
The fields in the settings reference above: title, text, board, media_kind, clip_id or media_url, scheduled_at, preview. Mention any of them in plain language ("unlisted", "tomorrow at 9", "preview first") and Perplexity Computer sets the matching field before it books.
Do I need a Pinterest API key or developer account?
No. You connect Pinterest to ClipSpeed once through Pinterest's own sign-in, and Perplexity Computer talks to ClipSpeed over OAuth. No Pinterest developer key, bearer token or password is pasted anywhere.
How many Pinterest posts a day can Perplexity Computer schedule?
Planned: Image posts on Pinterest are at least 60 minutes apart, up to 4 a day. Video on Pinterest is at least 4 hours apart, up to 4 a day under your plan. When a time is taken, the booking is refused with the next open slot rather than moved. Ask for preview to see a day's plan and the remaining cap before anything is booked.
Can posts go out to Pinterest while I am away?
Yes. Once booked, ClipSpeed publishes at the scheduled minute whether or not Perplexity Computer is open. For unattended runs that decide what to post, use a headless agent such as Claude Code or Codex with the same account.
Is posting to Pinterest from Perplexity Computer different from Manus?
The booking is identical: the same rules, the same calendar, the same refusals. What differs is where you work. Perplexity Computer: perplexity's cloud. Manus: cloud, task agent with connectors.
