com.mcparmory/perplexity
Search the web and generate AI responses with real-time information via Perplexity API
What is the com.mcparmory/perplexity MCP server?
The Perplexity MCP server connects Claude and other AI agents to Perplexity AI's web search and response generation capabilities. It enables real-time web searches, AI-powered answers, and embedding generation through a standardized MCP interface.
This server exposes Perplexity AI's search and generation APIs as MCP tools, allowing your AI agent to perform web searches, get AI-synthesized answers with current information, and create embeddings. Use it when you need real-time web data, current events, or up-to-date information that your base model doesn't have.

Tools & capabilities
Tools this server exposes to the agent.
Web Search— Search the web and retrieve real-time informationGenerate AI Responses— Generate AI-powered responses using Perplexity's modelsCreate Embeddings— Generate embeddings from text using Perplexity's embedding models
Use cases
- Search the web for current events, news, or real-time data within Claude conversations
- Get AI-synthesized answers that combine web search with reasoning
- Generate embeddings for semantic search and similarity matching
- Augment Claude's knowledge with real-time information beyond its training cutoff
- Build applications that need current information without manual web browsing
com.mcparmory/perplexity MCP server FAQ
It's an MCP server that integrates Perplexity AI's web search, response generation, and embedding APIs into Claude and other AI agents, enabling real-time information retrieval and AI-powered synthesis.
The server itself is free and open-source (MIT License), but using Perplexity's APIs requires a Perplexity API key and is subject to Perplexity's pricing and terms of service.
Install via pip (`pip install mcparmory-perplexity`) or uvx (`uvx mcparmory-perplexity`), then add it to your MCP client config with your Perplexity API credentials.
You need a Perplexity API key, which you can obtain from Perplexity's developer platform.
No, this server requires an active internet connection and valid Perplexity API credentials to function, as it queries Perplexity's live APIs.
Python 3.11 or higher is required to run this server.
README (reference)
Source of truth, from the repository.
MCP servers that connect AI agents to real-world APIs. Each server is a standalone Python package — generated from the upstream OpenAPI spec using MCP Blacksmith and tested against the live API before release. Hosted on MCP Armory or run independently.

Features
Every server in this registry provides:
- Full API coverage — all endpoints from the OpenAPI spec are exposed as MCP tools
- Authentication — API key, Bearer token, Basic auth, OAuth2, JWT, OpenID Connect, and mutual TLS
- Multi-auth — servers that support multiple auth methods let you configure whichever you prefer
- Pydantic validation — request parameters are validated before sending to the API
- Resilience — configurable retries with exponential backoff, connection pooling, and timeouts
- Response sanitization — optional redaction of sensitive fields from API responses
How servers are generated
Servers are generated by MCP Blacksmith, an automated pipeline that:
- Parses an OpenAPI specification
- Transforms operations through LLM-driven passes (naming, parameter filtering, enhancement, classification)
- Generates a complete MCP server with auth, models, validation, and configuration
- Tests every tool against the live API using an autonomous agent
- Deploys passing servers to this registry
The generator targets Python 3.11+ and uses FastMCP as the MCP framework.
Contributing
Servers are auto-generated — don't edit server code directly. If you find an issue, open a GitHub Issue describing:
- Broken or deprecated endpoints
- Missing or incorrect parameters
- Authentication problems
- Incorrect request/response models
We'll re-generate the affected server with the fix. To request a new server, open an issue with a link to the API's OpenAPI spec or documentation.
License
Each generated server is released under the MIT License. The underlying APIs have their own terms of service — see individual server READMEs for details.
