From the repository

Add the server configuration to ~/.claude.json or .mcp.json with "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "comet-mcp"]. Launch Perplexity Comet with --remote-debugging-port=9222. Use tools like comet_ask to send tasks and comet_poll to monitor progress.

`comet_connect`

Connect to Comet browser (auto-starts if needed)

`comet_ask`

Send a prompt to Comet/Perplexity and wait for the complete response (blocking). Ideal for tasks requiring real browser interaction (login walls, dynamic content, filling forms) or deep research with agentic browsing.

`comet_poll`

Check agent status and progress. Call repeatedly to monitor agentic tasks.

`comet_stop`

Stop the current agent task if it's going off track

`comet_screenshot`

Capture a screenshot of current page

`comet_mode`

Switch Perplexity search mode. Modes: 'search' (basic), 'research' (deep research), 'labs' (analytics/visualization), 'learn' (educational). Call without mode to see current mode.

Claude Desktop / Cursor

Paste into your MCP client config file to install this server.

An MCP server that connects Claude Code toPerplexity Comet- enabling agentic web browsing, deep research, and real-time task monitoring.

Existing web tools for Claude Code fall into two categories, both with limitations:

1. Search APIs (Tavily, Perplexity API, WebFetch)

Return static text. No interaction, no login, no dynamic content. Great for quick lookups, but can't navigate complex sites or fill forms.

2. Browser Automation (browser-use, Puppeteer MCP, Playwright MCP)

Can interact with pages, but use aone-agent-do-allapproach: the same reasoning model that's writing your code is also deciding where to click, what to type, and how to navigate. This overwhelms the context window and fragments focus.

Comet MCP takes a different approach.Instead of Claude controlling a browser directly, it delegates to Perplexity Comet- an AI purpose-built for web research and browsing.

- Claudestays focused on your coding task
- Comethandles the browsing: navigation, login walls, dynamic content, deep research
- Result: Claude's coding intelligence + Perplexity's web intelligence, working together

{ "mcpServers": { "comet-bridge": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "comet-mcp"] } } }

That's it! The MCP server automatically launches Comet with remote debugging when needed.

You: "Use Comet to research the top AI frameworks in 2025" Claude: [delegates to Comet, monitors progress, returns results] You: "Log into my GitHub and check my notifications" Claude: [Comet handles the login flow and navigation]

Claude Code → MCP Server → CDP → Comet Browser → Perplexity AI (reasoning) (bridge) (web browsing)

Claude sends high-level goals ("research X", "log into Y"). Comet figures out the clicks, scrolls, and searches. Results flow back to Claude.

- Node.js 18+
- Perplexity Comet Browser
- Claude Code (or any MCP client)
- Supported platforms: macOS, Windows, WSL2

Works out of the box. Comet MCP auto-detects Windows and launches Comet from its default install location.

WSL2 requiresmirrored networkingto connect to Comet running on Windows:
-

Enable mirrored networking(one-time setup):

# Create/edit %USERPROFILE%\.wslconfig (Windows side) [wsl2] networkingMode=mirrored

wsl --shutdown # Then reopen your WSL terminal

That's it!Comet MCP auto-detects WSL and uses PowerShell to communicate with Windows.

If mirrored networking isn't available, you'll see a helpful error message with setup instructions.

If Comet is installed in a non-standard location:

{ "mcpServers": { "comet-bridge": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "comet-mcp"], "env": { "COMET_PATH": "/path/to/your/Comet" } } } }

- macOS: Ensure Comet is installed at/Applications/Comet.app
- Windows: Comet should be in%LOCALAPPDATA%\Perplexity\Comet\Application\
- Check if port 9222 is available

"WSL cannot connect to Windows localhost"

- Enable mirrored networking (see WSL section above)
- Or run Claude Code from Windows PowerShell instead of WSL

- Restart Claude Code after config changes
