Perplexity exposes authenticated HTTP APIs at api.perplexity.ai (Agent, Search, Sonar, Embeddings, model listing, and auth-token management under one API platform), a separate bearer-authenticated Computer Analytics HTTP API, and an MCP server at https://www.perplexity.ai/rest/computer/mcp with published OAuth metadata; it also ships an npm-based MCP server CLI package.

Credentials
Perplexity API keybearerGet token ↗

Go to the Perplexity API console. Create an API group first if prompted, then open the API Keys area and generate a new key. The docs note the full key is shown only once, so copy and store it securely. You can also create additional keys programmatically after you have one, via the auth-token management endpoints described in API Key Management.

Perplexity Computer Analytics API keybearerGet token ↗

In the Perplexity web app, an org admin opens the organization's Computer settings, finds the Analytics section, enables Analytics API, then selects Generate key. This key is org-scoped, analytics-only, and there is at most one active key at a time, per Computer Analytics API.

OAuth 2.0oauth2
OAuth 2.0 — self-onboarding

Point your MCP client at the server URL and approve access in the browser. The server supports OAuth Dynamic Client Registration (RFC 7591), so the client registers itself automatically — no developer-portal app, client_id, or client_secret to create.
