perplexity

v1.3.0

by perplexityai · author: Perplexity AI

Real-time web search, reasoning, and research through Perplexity's API

What perplexity does, in the publisher's words

The official MCP server implementation for the Perplexity API Platform, providing AI assistants with real-time web search, reasoning, and research capabilities through the Agent API and the Search API.

The remote MCP server is hosted by Perplexity and is the easiest way to get started: same tools, nothing to install or update. The Cursor and VS Code buttons at the top of this page connect to it with one click. If your MCP client does not support remote servers yet, skip to the local server setup below. Connect over Streamable HTTP with your Perplexity API key:

For Claude Code:

  • Get your Perplexity API Key from the API Portal
  • Replace your_key_here in the configurations below with your API key
