PerplexityapiPerplexity Remote MCP Server
Connect Perplexity's search to Claude Code, Cursor, or VS Code with just an API key, nothing to install.
Details
- Perplexity hosts the server, so you point your editor at it and authenticate with your API key rather than installing and running anything locally
- Claude Code, Cursor, and VS Code are supported at launch
- It plugs in through the Model Context Protocol, the shared standard editors use to connect outside tools to an assistant
Best for
Giving a coding assistant live web search without building your own search plumbing
When to use it
Your assistant needs current information it was never trained on, like today's docs or a library's newest release
Who benefits
Developers working in Claude Code, Cursor, or VS Code
