### Description (declared)

# Perplexity Subscription MCP

Unofficial Python wrapper for Perplexity AI's web interface, providing an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server and Python client for integration with coding agents.

**Use your existing Perplexity subscription** — no API costs. This wrapper uses your Perplexity web session cookies, so all queries use your existing Pro subscription instead of the paid Perplexity API.

## Why This Wrapper?

| Approach | Cost | Rate Limits |
|----------|------|-------------|
| **This wrapper** (web session) | $0 (uses your existing subscription) | Your subscription limits |
| Perplexity API | $5/1000 requests (sonar), $200/month (pro tier) | API tier limits |

If you already have a Perplexity Pro subscription ($20/month), this wrapper lets you integrate Perplexity into your coding workflow without additional API costs.

## Quick Start

No install needed — your MCP config runs the server via `uvx` automatically.

> **Prerequisites:** [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/) and Python 3.10+

### 1. Get Your Perplexity Cookies

The MCP server authenticates using your browser's Perplexity session cookies. You need to export them once (and re-export when they expire).

#### Option A: Cookie-Editor Extension (Recommended)

1. Install the [Cookie-Editor](https://cookie-editor.com/) browser extension ([Chrome](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/cookie-editor/hlkenndednhfkekhgcdicdfddnkalmdm), [Firefox](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/cookie-editor/))
2. Go to [perplexity.ai](https://www.perplexity.ai) and **log in** to your account
3. Click the Cookie-Editor extension icon
4. Click **Export** (bottom-left) → copies JSON to clipboard
5. Save the clipboard content to a file:
   ```bash
   # Create the config directory
   mkdir -p ~/.config/perplexity

   # Paste your clipboard into this file
   # macOS:
   pbpaste > ~/.config/perplexity/cookies.json

   # Linux:
   xclip -selection clipboard -o > ~/.config/perplexity/cooki…
