perplexity-web-mcp-cli

A local command-line program and server for accessing Perplexity AI, including its web search and AI question-answering features. It can also provide interfaces compatible with common AI APIs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to run Perplexity searches and questions from the command line, expose them through MCP, or connect compatible applications to its API interface.
Why use it?
It gives software a way to connect to Perplexity without building the command-line, MCP, and API integration from scratch.

Grade A, and why

perplexity-web-mcp-cli scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
