com.mcparmory/perplexity is an MCP server that provides web search, AI-generated answers, and embeddings with up-to-date information.
About
com.mcparmory/perplexity wraps Perplexity capabilities in a stdio MCP server so Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and other MCP clients can search the web, produce AI-grounded answers, and generate embeddings without bespoke scripts. For developers, that collapses the gap between “ask the model” and “actually check what exists online today”—useful when discovering markets, narrowing MVP scope, or drafting technical docs that must reference current APIs and pricing pages. The registry entry ships two packages at version 1.0.2: PyPI identifier mcparmory-perplexity with runtimeHint uvx, and an OCI image on GitHub Container Registry. You need a Perplexity API key and an MCP-enabled editor; complexity stays beginner-friendly because configuration is standard server.json wiring. It complements vector stores like Pinecone: search and embed here, persist and query indexes elsewhere. It is not a substitute for structured news entity APIs when you need journalist graphs—pair with domain-specific servers when precision matters.
- Search the web with real-time information through MCP tool calls
- Generate AI responses grounded on retrieved sources
- Create embeddings for RAG pipelines and semantic recall
- stdio transport with uvx PyPI package mcparmory-perplexity 1.0.2
- Optional Docker deploy via ghcr.io/mcparmory/perplexity:1.0.2

What it does
Give your agent live web search, grounded AI answers, and embedding generation so research and docs stay current without manual tab switching.
Who is it for?
Best when you want one MCP hook for search-plus-synthesis across early journey phases without maintaining custom scrapers.
Skip if: Production-only teams that forbid external LLM search APIs or need on-prem crawling with no third-party inference.
What you get
Your workflow gains live retrieval and embedding tools the agent invokes directly while you discover, validate, or document.
- Search results and synthesized answers in chat
- Embedding vectors for downstream indexes
- Current-source snippets for specs and docs
By the numbers
- Server version 1.0.2
- 2 registry packages: PyPI and OCI
- Capabilities: search, AI responses, embeddings

MCP Armory Registry
Production-ready MCP servers for popular APIs, generated by MCP Blacksmith.
Servers · Install & Usage · Features · How it works · License
MCP servers that connect AI agents to real-world APIs. Each server is a standalone Python package — generated from the upstream OpenAPI spec using MCP Blacksmith and tested against the live API before release. Hosted on MCP Armory or run independently.

Install & Usage
Every server is a standalone PyPI package (mcparmory-<server-name>). Each server's own README.md has full credential setup and configuration instructions.
# With uvx (no install needed)
uvx mcparmory-github
# With pip
pip install mcparmory-github
mcparmory-github
MCP client configuration (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Codex, Claude Code):
{
"mcpServers": {
"github": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["mcparmory-github"],
"env": {
"BEARER_TOKEN": "ghp_your_token_here"
}
}
}
}
Features
Every server in this registry provides:
- Full API coverage — all endpoints from the OpenAPI spec are exposed as MCP tools
- Authentication — API key, Bearer token, Basic auth, OAuth2, JWT, OpenID Connect, and mutual TLS
- Multi-auth — servers that support multiple auth methods let you configure whichever you prefer
- Pydantic validation — request parameters are validated before sending to the API
- Resilience — configurable retries with exponential backoff, connection pooling, and timeouts
- Response sanitization — optional redaction of sensitive fields from API responses
How servers are generated
Servers are generated by MCP Blacksmith, an automated pipeline that:
- Parses an OpenAPI specification
- Transforms operations through LLM-driven passes (naming, parameter filtering, enhancement, classification)
- Generates a complete MCP server with auth, models, validation, and configuration
- Tests every tool against the live API using an autonomous agent
- Deploys passing servers to this registry
The generator targets Python 3.11+ and uses FastMCP as the MCP framework.
Contributing
Servers are auto-generated — don't edit server code directly. If you find an issue, open a GitHub Issue describing:
- Broken or deprecated endpoints
- Missing or incorrect parameters
- Authentication problems
- Incorrect request/response models
We'll re-generate the affected server with the fix. To request a new server, open an issue with a link to the API's OpenAPI spec or documentation.
License
Each generated server is released under the MIT License. The underlying APIs have their own terms of service — see individual server READMEs for details.

FAQ
Who is com.mcparmory/perplexity for?
Developers using MCP agents who need web search, grounded answers, and embeddings in the same session as coding.
When should I use com.mcparmory/perplexity?
Use it during discovery and scoping, and again when writing docs or RAG setup that must reflect the current web.
How do I add com.mcparmory/perplexity to my agent?
Register stdio MCP with uvx for mcparmory-perplexity 1.0.2 or the Docker OCI image, and configure your Perplexity API key in the environment your client expects.
