# Perplexity API Platform MCP Server The official MCP server implementation for the Perplexity API Platform, providing AI assistants with real-time web search, reasoning, and research capabilities through the [Agent API](https://docs.perplexity.ai/docs/agent-api/quickstart) and the Search API. ## Remote MCP Server The remote MCP server is hosted by Perplexity and is the easiest way to get started: same tools, nothing to install or update.
