Perplexity
Perplexity MCP Server enables Claude Desktop to interact with the Perplexity API, allowing users to perform internet research with source citations directly within conversations. Developed by Hirofumi Tanigami, it provides the 'ask_perplexity' tool that sends chat completion requests to Perplexity's API and returns responses with citations. The implementation is designed to work with smaller models to avoid timeout issues in Claude Desktop, making it ideal for fact-checking, research, and gathering contextual information from the web with transparent source attribution.
