Perplexity MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides intelligent code analysis and debugging capabilities using Perplexity AI's API. Works seamlessly with the Claude desktop client.

Features

  • Intelligent Error Analysis: Detailed breakdown of coding errors with root cause analysis
  • Pattern Detection: Automatically recognizes common error patterns and provides targeted solutions
  • Comprehensive Solutions: Step-by-step fixes with multiple implementation alternatives
  • Best Practices: Includes coding standards and error prevention tips
  • Python Support: Specialized handling of Python type errors and common coding issues

Example Usage

Ask questions like:

  • "Fix this TypeError in my Python code"
  • "What's causing this error message?"
  • "How do I fix this code?"

Include your code snippet for targeted analysis:

def calculate_total(items): total = 0 for item in items: total = total + item['price'] # TypeError: string + int data = [ {'name': 'Book', 'price': '10'}, {'name': 'Pen', 'price': '2'} ] result = calculate_total(data)

The server will provide:

  1. Root cause analysis of the error
  2. Step-by-step solution with code examples
  3. Best practices to prevent similar issues
  4. Alternative implementation approaches

Installation

Prerequisites

  • Node.js 18 or higher
  • A Perplexity AI API key
# Using npm npm install -g perplexity-mcp # Or using the repository directly npm install -g git+https://github.com/yourusername/perplexity-mcp.git

Option 2: Install from Source

  1. Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/perplexity-server.git cd perplexity-server
  1. Install dependencies:
npm install
  1. Build and install globally:
npm run build npm install -g .

Configure Claude Desktop

Add to your Claude desktop configuration file:

MacOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json Windows: %APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

{ "mcpServers": { "perplexity": { "command": "perplexity-mcp", "args": [], "env": { "PERPLEXITY_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here" } } } }

Or if installed from source:

{ "mcpServers": { "perplexity": { "command": "node", "args": ["/absolute/path/to/perplexity-server/build/index.js"], "env": { "PERPLEXITY_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here" } } } }

Security

  • The API key is stored securely in Claude's desktop configuration file
  • The key is passed to the server as an environment variable
  • No sensitive data is stored in the repository
  • The server expects the API key to be provided by Claude's environment
