Bridge Claude Code with Perplexity Comet for autonomous browsing and tab management
Bridge Claude Code with Perplexity Comet for autonomous browsing and tab management. The perplexity mcp server wraps that behind the Model Context Protocol, so an assistant can use it through 10 defined tools rather than through you.
A production-grade MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that bridges Claude Code with Perplexity's Comet browser for autonomous web browsing, research, and multi-tab workflow management.
Everything the assistant can do here goes through one of these:
Auto — reconnect with exponential backoffPrerequisites — The Prerequisites tool exposed by this servercomet_connect — Establish connection to Comet browser. Auto-launches if not runningcomet_ask — Send a prompt to Comet and wait for the complete response. Automatically triggers agentic browsing for URLs and action-oriented requestscomet_poll — Check status and progress of ongoing tasks. Returns the response if completedcomet_stop — The comet_stop tool exposed by this servercomet_screenshot — The comet_screenshot tool exposed by this servercomet_tabs — View and manage browser tabs. Essential for multi-tab workflowscomet_mode — The comet_mode tool exposed by this servercomet_upload — Upload files to file input elements on web pages. Essential for posting images to social media, attaching files to forms, or uploading documentsYou will need one environment variable: COMET_PATH. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.
Installation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at perplexity-comet-mcp on npm and it is fetched when the client starts. The copy-paste blocks for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are further down this page.
Plenty of browser automation servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. Perplexity's toolset — Auto, Prerequisites, comet_connect and 7 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by RapierCraft; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
