Perplexity MCP Server

smithery badge

MCP Server for the Perplexity API.

:warning: Limitations:

  • The Claude Desktop client may timeout if Perplexity processing takes too long
  • This issue might be resolved if Claude Desktop implements support for long running operations and progress reporting in the future
  • Implementation updates to handle these features will be made if they become available
