🐍 ☁️ - Interacting with Perplexity API.
Install
npx -y tanigami-mcp-server-perplexityRequired environment variables
PERPLEXITY_API_KEYSet in your MCP configclaude_desktop_config.json
{
"mcpServers": {
"tanigami-mcp-server-perplexity": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"tanigami-mcp-server-perplexity"
],
"env": {
"PERPLEXITY_API_KEY": "<YOUR_PERPLEXITY_API_KEY>"
}
}
}
}Add this to your Claude Desktop config file. Find it at ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json on macOS.
What this does
tanigami/mcp-server-perplexity exposes a set of tools to Claude over the Model Context Protocol. After you add it to claude_desktop_config.json (snippet above) and restart Claude Desktop, those tools become callable inside any conversation. That makes it useful when you want Claude to reach into external HTTP APIs without copy-pasting context every turn.
Requirements
This server needs the following environment variables to be set before it can run:
PERPLEXITY_API_KEY
Set these via the env object in your MCP config (see claude_desktop_config.json snippet above).
Common use cases
- •Call REST or GraphQL endpoints against an authenticated upstream service
- •Translate between Claude's natural-language requests and a structured API
- •Compose several API calls in a single Claude turn (read user → fetch order → annotate)
