Perplexity AI

Connects Claude Desktop to Perplexity AI's language models through a lightweight proxy, offering web search capabilities with llama-3.1-sonar-small-128k-online and multi-turn conversations with mixtral-8x7b-instruct.

Perplexity MCP Server provides Claude Desktop with direct access to Perplexity AI's language models through a lightweight proxy implementation. It offers two main tools: perplexity_ask for single questions using the llama-3.1-sonar-small-128k-online model with web search capabilities, and perplexity_chat for multi-turn conversations using mixtral-8x7b-instruct. The server communicates via stdio transport, requires only a Perplexity API key for authentication, and is designed for easy installation through npm or direct execution, making it ideal for users who need to augment Claude with Perplexity's specialized search and reasoning capabilities.
