Perplexity's official API MCP server now supports OAuth: add the server URL to your MCP client, sign in with your Perplexity account, pick your org and approve, and the connected agent gets real-time web search, deep research and advanced reasoning — no API-key handling in the client config. Lowers the setup friction for giving GTM agents live web access.

## Notes

- Announced by @perplexitydevs (2026-09-09). Reported as a vendor feature announcement. Perplexity's API MCP server is a hosted service, not open source, so this is recorded as NEWS, not a tool entry. The durable, on-ICP point is OAuth-based MCP auth: less credential handling in client config than API-key setup.
