About perplexity-mcp-server

cyanheads/perplexity-mcp-server

A Perplexity API MCP server that unlocks Perplexity's search-augmented AI capabilities for LLM agents. Features robust error handling, secure input validation, and transparent reasoning with the showThinking parameter.

Implements dual tools for Perplexity API integration—a `perplexity_search` tool for fast, filtered queries with recency and domain controls, and a `perplexity_deep_research` tool for exhaustive multi-source analysis with configurable reasoning effort. Built on the MCP SDK with TypeScript, it supports both stdio and HTTP transports, includes cost estimation utilities, and provides robust authentication (JWT/OAuth) and structured logging via Hono. Designed to integrate directly with MCP-compatible clients like Cline for LLM-driven research workflows.
