概要
What is Perplexity MCP Server?
An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server providing comprehensive access to the Perplexity AI API. It enables LLMs and AI agents to perform fast, search-augmented queries and conduct exhaustive, multi-source deep research through a standardized, secure, and easy-to-integrate protocol. It is built for developers using MCP clients like advanced AI assistants, IDE extensions, or custom research tools.
How to use Perplexity MCP Server?
Install Node.js ≥18 and obtain a Perplexity API key. Clone the repository, run npm install and npm run build. Create a .env file with PERPLEXITY_API_KEY. Configure your MCP client (e.g., Cline) to run the server with the command node /path/to/dist/index.js and pass the environment variable. Start the server with npm start (uses stdio by default) or configure HTTP transport.
Key features of Perplexity MCP Server
- Dual API support for quick search and deep research
- Advanced search control (recency, domain, academic mode)
- Cost tracking utility based on token usage
- Structured logging, centralized error handling, input validation
- HTTP transport with JWT and OAuth 2.1 authentication
- Resilient API client with error handling and logging
Use cases of Perplexity MCP Server
- Automate research by programmatically performing quick lookups or deep-dive investigations
- Enhance AI reasoning by grounding LLM responses with up-to-date, verifiable web information
- Integrate search‑augmented generation into any AI‑driven workflow
- Generate detailed multi‑source reports on complex topics
よくある質問
How do I configure the server?
Create a `.env` file with `PERPLEXITY_API_KEY` (required). Optionally set `MCP_TRANSPORT_TYPE` (stdio or http), `MCP_HTTP_PORT`, `MCP_AUTH_MODE`, and other environment variables documented in the README.
What transport mechanisms are supported?
stdio (default) and HTTP. HTTP can be secured with JWT or OAuth 2.1 authentication.
Is there a cost tracking feature?
Yes, the server includes a utility to estimate API call costs based on token usage and model, helping manage expenses.
What timeout should I use for the deep research tool?
The deep research tool may take longer than 60 seconds; the README recommends allowing a timeout of 180 seconds in MCP clients like Cline.
