Perplexity Universal MCP Server
This repository contains an implementation of an Perplexity Universal MCP (Model Context Protocol) server. It provides a standardized interface for interacting with Perplexity's tools and services through a unified API.
The server is built using the Universal MCP framework.
This implementation follows the MCP specification, ensuring compatibility with other MCP-compliant services and tools.
Usage
You can start using Perplexity directly from agentr.dev. Visit agentr.dev/apps and enable Perplexity.
