How to add Perplexity MCP to Claude Code

Below is the command to add the Perplexity API to Claude Code:

claude mcp add perplexity -e PERPLEXITY_API_KEY={perplexity_api_here} -- npx -y perplexity-mcp

You have to replace {perplexity_api_here} with the API from Perplexity and then run the command. When you run the command, it modifies the ~/.claude.json file to add the MCP globally.

And I learned about this from this GitHub repo and this page on Anthropic docs.
