AI-powered search with citations and up-to-date answers
About
The Perplexity Ask MCP Server provides AI-powered search with citations and up-to-date answers through the Perplexity Sonar API. Your AI assistant can perform searches that return synthesized, cited answers rather than raw search results.
Built by the community (ppl-ai), this server connects to Perplexity's Sonar API to deliver answers that combine search results with AI synthesis. Each response includes source citations for verification.
Great for research tasks, fact-checking, and getting comprehensive answers to complex questions with proper source attribution.
