perplexity-ai

Why we included this project

This Python wrapper talks to Perplexity through the same web interface the product itself uses, so you get its cited search-and-answer responses without holding an official API key. It offers both synchronous and asynchronous calls, streams replies as they arrive, handles file uploads for document Q&A, and retries failed requests automatically. There's also a Model Context Protocol server bundled in, so Claude Code and other MCP clients can call Perplexity search as a tool with no credentials to set up. The catch is that a chunk of the project exists to auto-generate accounts and dodge query limits, a tactic that probably runs against Perplexity's terms of service, so treat that part with care. If you just want keyless access to Perplexity-style answers, the wrapper and its optional web interface are a practical place to start.
