Perplexity

Spot synthetic text in Claude Desktop

The `detect_ai_in_text` tool identifies machine-generated patterns and highlights exactly which sentences look suspicious. Your agent handles the heavy lifting, scanning submitted text against live detection models and returning probability scores instantly. You can quickly verify the analysis by pulling up the `get_interpretation_guide` to understand the score boundaries. This lets you make informed editing decisions without leaving your chat window.

Manage your API limits and usage policies

The `get_api_quotas` tool tracks your remaining credits so you never run out of API calls mid-review. Running this MCP Server gives your agent direct access to your account standing, ensuring you always know where your budget stands. Combine this with `get_usage_policy` to keep your team's queries within acceptable rate limits. It keeps your operations running clean without hitting unexpected API blocks.

Audit model versions with this MCP Server

The `list_available_models` tool fetches the active detection engines supported by this MCP platform. This lets you switch between different analysis versions depending on whether you need speed or deep linguistic scanning. If a prediction seems off, use `submit_prediction_feedback` to flag the error and help train the system. Your agent handles the payload formatting automatically.
