🔍 Perplexity AI MCP without API key
Implements an MCP server that exposes Perplexity's search, research, and reasoning capabilities through browser session tokens extracted from cookies, eliminating the need for paid API access. Supports both authenticated mode (with full model selection and file attachments) and tokenless mode (limited to search and ask tools with turbo model). Integrates via stdio transport with Cursor, VS Code, Claude Desktop, Windsurf, Zed, and other MCP clients, with optional Docker deployment via streamable HTTP.
