## Description

MCP-Perplexity provides a bridge to the Perplexity AI API, enabling AI assistants to leverage Perplexity's language models for programming assistance and conversational interactions. Developed by Daniel Riccio, it features two main tools: ask_perplexity for focused coding solutions and technical explanations, and chat_perplexity for maintaining persistent conversations with full history context. The implementation supports configurable model selection through environment variables, includes streaming responses with progress reporting to prevent timeouts, and stores chat history in a SQLite database for seamless conversation continuity.
