The Perplexity MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol server designed to enhance the capabilities of large language models (LLMs) such as Claude by enabling them to conduct internet research. This is achieved through integration with the Perplexity API, which provides access to real-time, up-to-date information along with source citations. The server is an unofficial integration, independently developed and not affiliated with Perplexity AI. It leverages the public API of Perplexity to perform its functions. The server is built using the Go programming language and requires Go 1.20 or later, along with a valid Perplexity API key. It is designed to work seamlessly with Claude Desktop and other MCP clients, allowing users to perform research tasks efficiently. The server tracks sources automatically, ensuring that all information is properly cited, which is crucial for maintaining the credibility and reliability of the research conducted.
