Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.00057 | $0.01341 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00028 | $0.00671 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00011 | $0.00268 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00134 |
Grade A, and why
perplexity 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 202 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Perplexity AI Skill
AI-powered web search and reasoning capabilities via the scraper MCP server.
When to Use This Skill
- Searching the web with AI-synthesized answers
- Research tasks requiring multiple sources with citations
- Complex reasoning and multi-step analysis
- Questions about current events or real-time information
- Comparing options or analyzing trade-offs
Available Tools
| Tool | Model | Best For |
|---|---|---|
mcp__scraper__perplexity |
sonar | General queries, quick searches, factual lookups |
mcp__scraper__perplexity_reason |
sonar-reasoning-pro | Complex analysis, comparisons, multi-step reasoning |
Tool Usage
1. General Web Search
For straightforward queries and information lookup:
mcp__scraper__perplexity(
messages=[
{"role": "user", "content": "What are the latest features in Next.js 15?"}
],
model="sonar",
temperature=0.3,
max_tokens=4000
)
Response includes:
content: AI-synthesized answer with citation markers [1], [2], etc.citations: Array of source URLsmodel: Model usedusage: Token statistics
2. Complex Reasoning
For analytical queries requiring deep thinking:
mcp__scraper__perplexity_reason(
query="Compare React Server Components vs traditional SSR approaches. Consider performance, developer experience, and migration complexity.",
temperature=0.3,
max_tokens=4000
)
Use cases:
- Technology comparisons
- Architecture decisions
- Trade-off analysis
- Multi-factor evaluations
Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Default | Description |

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.

perplexity is a skill published in the GitHub repository cotdp/scraper-mcp (7 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 57 tokens to every session and 1,341 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
