Perplexity Agent MCP Server

Perplexity Agent is an MCP integration. Multi-step web research with citations via Perplexity's Agent API. Standard library only.

Packages and local setup

The published pypi package is perplexity-agent-mcp, version 0.4.0. Its declared MCP transport is stdio.

The package declares PERPLEXITY_API_KEY (required): Your Perplexity API key. Read at call time and sent only as an Authorization header to api.perplexity.ai; never logged or echoed.; PERPLEXITY_AGENT_WAIT_SECONDS: How long a blocking call waits before handing back a response_id to collect later. Defaults to 55, just inside Claude Desktop's unconfigurable 60s tool-call timeout. Raise to 300 on clients without that limit..

Before connecting

Check the maintainer’s instructions for account access, authentication and the supported client configuration. Once connected, inspect the tools your client receives and try a small task that matches the server’s stated purpose. The registry description does not include a verified, complete tool list.
