This guide explains how to connect Perplexityai to a Grok bot using Composio Connect, which handles OAuth, token refresh, and reliability so you do not have to. You add Composio as a plugin, authenticate once, then ask your bot to work with Perplexityai in plain language. ## Also integrate Perplexityai with - [ChatGPT Work](https://composio.dev/toolkits/perplexityai/framework/chatgpt) - [Antigravity](https://composio.dev/toolkits/perplexityai/framework/antigravity) - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/perplexityai/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/perplexityai/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/perplexityai/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/perplexityai/framework/claude-cowork) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/perplexityai/framework/codex) - [Kimi Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/perplexityai/framework/kimi) - [Grok Build](https://composio.dev/toolkits/perplexityai/framework/grok-build) - [Cursor](https://composio.dev/toolkits/perplexityai/framework/cursor) - [VS Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/perplexityai/framework/vscode) - [OpenCode](https://composio.dev/toolkits/perplexityai/framework/opencode) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/perplexityai/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/perplexityai/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/perplexityai/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/perplexityai/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/perplexityai/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/perplexityai/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/perplexityai/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/perplexityai/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/perplexityai/framework/crew-ai) - [Pydantic AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/perplexityai/framework/pydantic-ai) - [AutoGen](https://composio.dev/toolkits/perplexityai/framework/autogen) ## TL;DR Composio exposes 1,000+ apps to your Grok bot through a single connection, so you get: - Connect to 1,000+ apps with on-demand tool loading, so you do not fill your context window with unnecessary tool definitions. - Use programmatic tool calling through a remote workbench, letting the model write its own code to handle complex tool chaining. This reduces back-and-forth for frequent tool calls. - Handle large tool responses outside the model context to keep conversations lean. ## Connect Perplexityai to Grok Bot ### Connecting Perplexityai to Grok Bot Once Grok Bot is set up, you connect Perplexityai entirely from its interface, and the whole flow takes under a minute. ### Set up Grok Bot 1. Get access. Grok Bot is included with a paid Cursor plan (Cursor Pro, Pro+, or Ultra) or a Cursor Teams seat. You can also grant usage by linking an individual SuperGrok, SuperGrok Plus, or SuperGrok Heavy subscription to your Cursor account. 2. Download and sign in. Get the Grok Bot desktop app for macOS or Windows from [x.ai/bot](https://x.ai/bot), then sign in with your Cursor account. An iPhone companion app is also available, and your bots sync across devices. 3. Create a bot. Pick a suggested role or define your own, then give it a short name, one primary job, and a short description of how it should work. Focused bots work best, because a clear role gives the bot more useful context over time. ### Connect Perplexityai 1. Open Plugins Open the Grok bot you want to connect to Perplexityai, then click Plugins in the left sidebar to open the plugin marketplace. 2. Search for Composio and add it Type Composio into the Search plugins box and click Add on the Composio result. It then shows under 1 installed at the top of the marketplace. 3. Open the installed plugin Go to the Installed section and click the Composio entry. You'll see its connector and skills listed (for example, 1 connector, 2 skills). 4. Authenticate Click Authenticate. You'll be taken to the Composio consent screen. Review the access it requests and click Authorize. Composio handles the OAuth handshake for you, so you never touch API keys or tokens. 5. Connect your Perplexityai account Back in the chat, ask your bot to connect to Perplexityai or give it any Perplexityai task. For example, ask it to: - "Summarize the latest AI research papers" - "Generate a creative story about space travel" - "Explain quantum computing in simple terms" It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access. That's it. Composio's tools are now available in your Grok bot, and your Perplexityai account is ready to use. ## What is Grok Bot? Grok is xAI's assistant, available as a chat interface and a bot builder for creating personal agents that run skills and connect to external apps. With Composio Connect, your Grok bot can securely access apps like Perplexityai through MCP without you sharing account credentials directly with the agent. ## What is the Perplexityai MCP server, and what's possible with it? The Perplexityai MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Perplexity AI account. It provides structured and secure access to Perplexity's conversational AI models, so your agent can perform actions like running search queries, generating detailed answers, summarizing content, and retrieving citations automatically. - Conversational AI search and Q&A: Let your agent ask questions or search a wide range of topics, returning clear, human-like answers from Perplexity's advanced models. - Contextual and multi-turn queries: Enable your agent to conduct follow-up questions and maintain context for more in-depth, accurate answers. - Model selection and fine-tuning: Allow your agent to choose between different Perplexity AI models and adjust parameters like temperature, top-k, and top-p for tailored responses. - Source citations and image retrieval: Have your agent fetch answers with source citations and relevant images, providing richer, more trustworthy outputs. - Auto-prompting and query refinement: Let your agent automatically enhance and refine user queries for better, more relevant search results. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `PERPLEXITYAI_CREATE_ASYNC_CHAT_COMPLETION` | Create Async Chat Completion | Create Async Chat Completion (POST /v1/async/sonar). Submits an asynchronous chat completion request for long-running tasks. Returns immediately with a request ID that can be polled using the Get Async Chat Completion action. Only the 'sonar-deep-research' model is supported for async processing. Async jobs have a 7-day TTL. Deep research generates very long responses (10K-100K+ words) with exhaustive multi-source analysis. Use the idempotency_key to prevent duplicate submissions. Poll with Get Async Chat Completion using the returned request ID to retrieve results when status is COMPLETED. | | `PERPLEXITYAI_CREATE_CHAT_COMPLETION` | Create Chat Completion | Perplexity Sonar Chat Completions (POST /v1/sonar). Generates web-grounded conversational AI responses with citations. Supports multiple Sonar models optimized for different use cases: - sonar: Fast, cost-effective for simple queries - sonar-pro: Enhanced quality for complex questions - sonar-reasoning-pro: Chain-of-thought reasoning with blocks - sonar-deep-research: Exhaustive multi-source research (generates very long responses, 10K+ words; prefer the async endpoint for this model) Features: web search grounding, citations, images, structured JSON output, search filtering by domain/date/language/recency, and streaming. Important constraints: - search_recency_filter and date filters (search_after_date_filter, search_before_date_filter, etc.) are mutually exclusive. Use one or the other, not both. - Messages with the 'tool' role must alternate with 'assistant' messages. A valid pattern is: system -> user -> assistant -> tool -> user. - The 'stop' parameter is not currently supported by the API. | | `PERPLEXITYAI_CREATE_CONTEXTUALIZED_EMBEDDINGS` | Create Contextualized Embeddings | Create Contextualized Embeddings (POST /v1/contextualizedembeddings). Generates document-aware embeddings where chunks from the same document share context. Unlike standard embeddings, these recognize sequential relationships within documents, improving retrieval quality. Models: pplx-embed-context-v1-0.6b (1024 dims) and pplx-embed-context-v1-4b (2560 dims). Both support Matryoshka dimension reduction and INT8/binary quantization. | | `PERPLEXITYAI_CREATE_EMBEDDINGS` | CreateEmbeddings | Generate vector embeddings for independent texts (queries, sentences, documents). This action takes one or more input texts and generates vector embeddings using Perplexity AI's embedding models. Embeddings are useful for semantic search, similarity matching, and machine learning downstream tasks. Supported models: - pplx-embed-v1-0.6b: Smaller, faster model (1024 dimensions) - pplx-embed-v1-4b: Larger, more accurate model (2560 dimensions) The output embeddings are base64-encoded for efficient transmission. Use the dimensions parameter to reduce embedding size for faster processing when full precision is not required (Matryoshka representation). | | `PERPLEXITYAI_EXECUTE_AGENT` | Execute Agent | Create Agent Response (POST /v1/agent). Orchestrates multi-step agentic workflows with built-in tools (web search, URL fetching, function calling), reasoning, and multi-model support. Streaming is not supported by this action. At least one of 'model', 'models', or 'preset' must be provided. Available presets: 'fast-search', 'pro-search', 'deep-research'. The 'deep-research' preset generates very long responses (10K-100K+ words) with exhaustive multi-source analysis. Available models include Perplexity Sonar, OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI, and NVIDIA models at direct provider rates. Use the List Models action to see available model identifiers. | | `PERPLEXITYAI_GET_ASYNC_CHAT_COMPLETION` | Get Async Chat Completion | Get Async Chat Completion (GET /v1/async/sonar/{id}). Retrieves the result of an asynchronous chat completion request by its ID. Use this to poll for the result after creating an async job. The response includes the status and, when completed, the full completion. | | `PERPLEXITYAI_LIST_ASYNC_CHAT_COMPLETIONS` | List Async Chat Completions | List Async Chat Completions (GET /v1/async/sonar). Retrieves a list of all asynchronous chat completion requests for the authenticated user. Use this to see the status of all your pending, completed, and failed async jobs. | | `PERPLEXITYAI_LIST_MODELS` | List Models | List Models (GET /v1/models). Lists models available for the Agent API. Returns model identifiers that can be used with the Agent endpoint. The response follows the OpenAI List Models format for compatibility. This is a public endpoint that does not require authentication. | | `PERPLEXITYAI_SEARCH` | Perplexity Search (Raw Results) | Search the Web (POST /search). Returns raw, ranked web search results directly from Perplexity's index without LLM processing. Faster and cheaper than chat completions when you need raw results. Supports filtering by domain, date, language, country, and recency. Max 20 results per request. Important: search_recency_filter and date filters (search_after_date_filter, search_before_date_filter, last_updated_after_filter, last_updated_before_filter) are mutually exclusive. Use one or the other, not both. | ## Supported Triggers None listed. ## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK Once connected, your Grok bot can access the Perplexityai MCP server through Composio to run the actions you authorize, using plain language in the chat. ## Complete Code None listed. ## Conclusion ### Way Forward Now that Perplexityai is connected, extend your setup by connecting the other apps you already use every day, so your Grok bot can run true cross-app workflows end to end. - Connect Calendar to turn threads into scheduled meetings automatically. - Connect Slack or Teams to post summaries, approvals, and alerts where your team works. - Connect Notion, Linear, Jira, or Asana to convert requests into tickets, tasks, and docs. - Connect Drive, Dropbox, or OneDrive to fetch, file, and share attachments without manual steps. Start with one workflow you do repeatedly, then keep adding apps as you find new handoffs. With everything behind a single connection, your bot can coordinate multiple tools safely and reliably in one conversation. ## How to build Perplexityai MCP Agent with another framework - [ChatGPT Work](https://composio.dev/toolkits/perplexityai/framework/chatgpt) - [Antigravity](https://composio.dev/toolkits/perplexityai/framework/antigravity) - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/perplexityai/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/perplexityai/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/perplexityai/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/perplexityai/framework/claude-cowork) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/perplexityai/framework/codex) - [Kimi Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/perplexityai/framework/kimi) - [Grok Build](https://composio.dev/toolkits/perplexityai/framework/grok-build) - [Cursor](https://composio.dev/toolkits/perplexityai/framework/cursor) - [VS Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/perplexityai/framework/vscode) - [OpenCode](https://composio.dev/toolkits/perplexityai/framework/opencode) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/perplexityai/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/perplexityai/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/perplexityai/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/perplexityai/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/perplexityai/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/perplexityai/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/perplexityai/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/perplexityai/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/perplexityai/framework/crew-ai) - [Pydantic AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/perplexityai/framework/pydantic-ai) - [AutoGen](https://composio.dev/toolkits/perplexityai/framework/autogen) ## Related Toolkits - [Composio](https://composio.dev/toolkits/composio) - Composio is an integration platform that connects AI agents with hundreds of business tools.

With a standalone Perplexityai MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Perplexityai tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Perplexityai and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint. ### Can I use Tool Router MCP with Grok Bot? Yes, you can. Grok Bot fully supports MCP integration. You get structured tool calling, message history handling, and model orchestration while Tool Router takes care of discovering and serving the right Perplexityai tools. ### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Perplexityai while using Tool Router? Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Perplexityai scopes and actions are allowed when connecting your account to Composio. You can also bring your own OAuth credentials or API configuration so you keep full control over what the agent can do. ### How safe is my data with Composio Tool Router? All sensitive data such as tokens, keys, and configuration is fully encrypted at rest and in transit. Composio is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and follows strict security practices so your Perplexityai data and credentials are handled as safely as possible. --- [See all toolkits](https://composio.dev/toolkits) · [Composio docs](https://docs.composio.dev/llms.txt)
