Active·★ 77·MIT·Updated 2026-07-17

This project provides a Perplexity MCP server that automates a real Chromium browser to use your existing Perplexity account. It includes a native VS Code extension with a dashboard and auto-configuration for over 15 IDEs, as well as a standalone npm package for other MCP clients. The server supports multiple search modes, sources, and models without requiring a Perplexity API key.
