Perplexity MCP: connect Perplexity to Claude and ChatGPT
Ask Claude or ChatGPT what Nordvik Energi has announced this month, what the latest guidance on the EU AI Act says, or which competitors launched something new this quarter. Perplexity searches the web, and the answer comes back with its sources.
With Deployed OS your company adds one Perplexity API key, and nobody needs an account of their own. Every call is logged under the person who asked, and Perplexity is told nothing about who that was.

Who sees what
- Search and answers only
- The connector asks Perplexity questions and searches the web. It reads nothing stored at Perplexity and changes nothing anywhere.
- One company key
- An admin adds your company’s Perplexity API key once. Nobody connects an account, and Perplexity gets the question, never who asked it.
- Only what the question needs
- The AI is told to send only what the question needs, checked against your company’s guardrails, and never personal or confidential data in a web question.
- You choose who gets it
- Admins decide which groups at the company can use the Perplexity connector at all. Everyone else never sees it.
- Every call logged
- Every call is logged under the person who asked: who, which connector, when. Deployed OS shows use per connector and per person, and the log can be exported.
Set up the Perplexity connector in three steps
Perplexity’s own MCP server or Deployed OS?
Perplexity has its own MCP server, hosted by Perplexity or run locally, with tools to search, ask, research and reason. You sign in with a Perplexity account or an API key. For one person who wants Perplexity in their own assistant or editor, it is a good fit.
Deployed OS is for when the whole company should use it. One company key added once, nobody needing an account of their own, admins choosing which groups get Perplexity, and every call logged under the person who asked. The same connection works in Claude, ChatGPT and Copilot, next to your company’s skills and guardrails.
Perplexity MCP: common questions
Yes. Perplexity has its own MCP server, and it suits one person well. Deployed OS gives the whole company one connection for Perplexity and your other tools, on one company key, with access per group and a log of every call.
Only the question or search the AI sends, under your company’s key. Nothing about the person asking is sent. Answers are not saved at Perplexity for later retrieval, though Perplexity keeps them under its own retention rules.
No. Your company adds one API key in Deployed OS, and everyone in the groups you choose can use it. Each call is still logged under the person who asked.
Each assistant searches the web in its own way. With Perplexity everyone gets the same search, with sources and with filters for domains, recency and country, on your company’s account, whichever assistant they use.
Not today. It asks Perplexity’s own Sonar model for a focused answer with sources, or returns ranked pages to compare. If you need longer research reports, we can extend it for you.
Deployed is an EU company and fully GDPR compliant, and you choose where your data is stored, down to the city. Questions go to Perplexity only when someone asks.
