Perplexity's Mac app now supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP), a significant upgrade enhancing its capabilities as an AI assistant. MCP is an open-source framework developed by Anthropic, designed to enable AI models to interact seamlessly with external tools and resources, functioning as a "universal translator" for AI. This integration allows Perplexity to access real-time information from third-party applications, such as summarizing unread emails or finding documents in cloud storage. By tapping into a wider range of context, Perplexity can provide more accurate and relevant answers. MCP support also opens possibilities for the app to automate complex workflows across multiple applications.
