Arjunkmrm Perplexity Search

arjunkmrm/perplexity-search

Connects Claude to Perplexity's Sonar Pro API for web searches with citation tracking. Exposes a single search tool that takes a query string and optional recency filter (hour, day, week, or month). Returns both the search results content and an array of citations, which is handy when you need Claude to pull current information from the web with source attribution. Requires a Perplexity API key. Reach for this when you want real-time web search capabilities without building your own search integration, especially if you value having structured citations alongside the results.
