Perplexity

Run Browse AI robots from your chat

Trigger `run_robot` or `run_bulk_task` to pull live data from any URL directly through your Claude Desktop interface. You no longer need to manually copy-paste results from your browser. Once the job finishes, use `get_task_data` to feed the resulting JSON straight into your context window. Claude handles the rest, turning raw web output into insights immediately.

Manage your Browse AI monitors

Keep tabs on target websites by calling `list_monitors` to see what's currently active. You get a clear view of your tracking setup without leaving your workstation. If you need to adjust your strategy, `list_robots` gives you a full inventory of every scraper you have deployed. It keeps your automation organized within the same environment where you write your notes.

Check your Browse AI quotas

Stop guessing your usage limits by using `list_credits` to pull your current account balance. It prevents mid-project surprises when you are deep in a research task. This MCP Server provides the operational visibility you need to keep your scraping projects running smoothly. You stay on top of your capacity while staying focused on your primary chat.
