Perplexity

Automated web research

Cline can use `search_web` to find facts or documentation for your project. It returns scraped results ready for code generation. Stop switching between your browser and VS Code. This tool brings the external data directly into your agent's workflow.

Clean Markdown extraction

The `scrape_page` tool converts complex web layouts into simple text. It makes reading technical docs a breeze for your agent. Cline reads this output to write code, stage commits, and build components. It removes the junk so the agent only sees the logic.

Deep site crawling

Use `crawl_site` to ingest large amounts of content for complex coding tasks. It maps the site and extracts everything in one go. This gives Cline the context it needs to build entire features. You provide the URL, and the MCP Server does the rest.
