Perplexity
The Perplexity MCP server integrates Perplexity AI's web search API with Claude, enabling Claude to perform real-time web searches through a single tool called `perplexity_search_web`. The tool accepts a required search query and optional recency filters (day, week, month, or year) to retrieve current information from the web, solving the problem of Claude's knowledge cutoff limitations by providing access to up-to-date online content.
