Perplexity

Overview

Perplexity is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server: Search the web, generate AI responses, and create embeddings with real-time information. Because it speaks the Model Context Protocol, AI assistants can use Perplexity as a set of callable tools instead of you copy-pasting between apps.

It runs locally: the Python package mcparmory-perplexity (via uvx) speaks MCP over stdio on your machine. No credentials are required — it works out of the box. The current release is v1.0.2, with source at mcparmory/registry on GitHub, where it has earned 30 stars.

On mcp.site, Perplexity sits in the AI & Agents category. Any MCP client can use it — Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed among them — via the install snippets below.
