What is Perplexity MCP Server?

The Perplexity MCP Server acts as a bridge between Claude Desktop and Perplexity's API, enabling you to get detailed, citation - backed answers directly within Claude. It enhances Claude's capabilities by leveraging Perplexity's powerful search and summarization features.
