Perplexity Comet MCP is a server that connects Claude Code with Perplexity’s Comet browser, enabling autonomous web browsing, research workflows, and multi-tab browser control while you focus on coding tasks. It provides a stable bridge to run browser actions from your MCP client and manage browser sessions efficiently.

How to use

You integrate this MCP server with your MCP client to orchestrate browsing tasks from your IDE or editor. Start by launching the MCP bridge, then connect your client to the local MCP endpoint. Use the bridge to initiate autonomous browsing, trigger agentic actions from natural prompts, and manage multiple browser tabs as needed. You can perform deep research, access login-protected content, and extract data while Claude codes in the background.

How to install

Prerequisites: Node.js 18 or higher, Perplexity Comet Browser installed, Claude Code or a compatible MCP client.

npm install -g perplexity-comet-mcp

Install from source: clone the repository, install dependencies, and build the project.

git clone https://github.com/RapierCraft/perplexity-comet-mcp.git
cd perplexity-comet-mcp
npm install
npm run build

Configure Claude Code to use the MCP bridge by adding a server entry. The bridge runs as a local stdio server that you start with Node and the built index file.

  "mcpServers": {
    "comet_bridge": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/perplexity-comet-mcp/dist/index.js"]
    }
  }
}

Additional installation notes for Windows users

If you need a Windows-specific path, use an absolute path to the built index script.
