- Real-Time Web Search: Integrates with Perplexity's Sonar API for up-to-date web-wide research.
- Conversational AI Support: Enhances AI interactions by providing accurate and contextually relevant search results.
- Secure Access: Ensures controlled and secure access to web data for LLMs.
- Extensibility: Built with the Model Context Protocol, allowing integration with various AI tools and frameworks.
Tools
The Perplexity Ask MCP Server provides the following tools:
- Web Search Integration: Enables AI agents to perform web searches and retrieve relevant information.
- Contextual Data Retrieval: Supports fetching data in a structured format for efficient LLM usage.
Configuration
To use the Perplexity Ask MCP Server, you need to configure it with the appropriate API keys and endpoints. Here’s an example configuration for Claude Desktop:
{
"mcpServers": {
"perplexity": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-perplexity"],
"env": {
"PERPLEXITY_API_KEY": "<YOUR_API_KEY>"
}
}
}
}
Usage
