Perplexity Search Agent

MCPOpen SourceMIT14.0

by shubham0704 • APIs & Integration

A local MCP agent that integrates Perplexity.ai search into the Claude desktop so Claude can perform web/search queries via a Perplexity API key.

Example Use Cases

1
Perform live web/search queries from Claude using Perplexity.ai's API.
2
A local MCP-based bridge between a desktop assistant (Claude) and external search services.
3
An example of configuring and running a custom MCP agent with uv and integrating it into Claude's desktop configuration.

Description

This repository provides an example MCP (Model Context Protocol) agent that connects Claude to Perplexity.ai search. It runs locally via the uv/MCP tooling and requires you to supply a Perplexity API key in the search.py agent. The setup instructions show how to register the agent in Claude's desktop config so Claude can invoke Perplexity-powered searches at runtime.
