What is Perplexica MCP Server?

Perplexica MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides AI-powered web search functionality by connecting MCP clients to the Perplexica search API. It supports stdio, SSE, and Streamable HTTP transports and is built with the FastMCP framework.

How to use Perplexica MCP Server?

Clone the repository, install dependencies with uv sync, and set the PERPLEXICA_BACKEND_URL environment variable to your running Perplexica instance. Run the server using one of three transport modes: uv run src/perplexica_mcp.py stdio, sse, or http. Configuration examples for Claude Desktop, Cursor IDE, and generic MCP clients are provided. Docker deployment is also supported with compose files for HTTP and SSE transports.

FAQ from Perplexica MCP Server

What transports does Perplexica MCP Server support?

It supports stdio, SSE (Server-Sent Events), and Streamable HTTP transports. Stdio is recommended for most MCP clients; SSE and HTTP are available for web-based or real-time use cases.

How do I configure Perplexica MCP Server for my client?

Set the PERPLEXICA_BACKEND_URL environment variable to point to your Perplexica instance, then run the server with the appropriate transport command. For Claude Desktop or Cursor, use a stdio configuration with uv run ... stdio.

Does Perplexica MCP Server require a separate Perplexica instance?

Yes. The server connects to a running Perplexica instance via the PERPLEXICA_BACKEND_URL. You must ensure Perplexica is accessible at that URL.

How can I run Perplexica MCP Server in Docker?

Docker Compose files are provided for HTTP and SSE transports. Create an external Docker network named backend, set environment variables (e.g., PERPLEXICA_BACKEND_URL), then run docker-compose up -d. Both containers include health checks.

How do I test the server?

Run uv run src/test_transports.py to verify stdio, SSE, and HTTP transports, including MCP protocol handshake and endpoint accessibility.
