Sign in with Perplexity for the remote MCP server
By Steven Van ·
The remote Perplexity MCP server now supports OAuth sign-in, letting Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code skip pasting an API key.
The remote Perplexity MCP server now supports OAuth, so clients can sign in with a Perplexity account instead of pasting an API key. Add https://api.perplexity.ai/mcp to any MCP client that supports OAuth, such as claude.ai, Claude Code, Cursor, or VS Code, and sign in through the browser. During sign-in you choose which API organization to bill.
API keys still work for clients without OAuth support. The change applies to the hosted remote server; the local stdio server is unaffected.
