Perplexity

Team Chat and Model Access

Start generating text completions using `create_text_completion` or running advanced chat flows via `create_chat_completion`. The MCP Server provides access to over 100 open-source models, letting your team choose the right one for the job. This consistency is key. Every developer uses the same set of powerful tools, reducing onboarding time and ensuring predictable results across the codebase.

Media Asset Creation

Build features that require visual assets. Use `create_image_generation` to make images from prompts or run `create_video_generation` for more complex media. These capabilities allow your team to iterate on UI/UX elements quickly. It's built into the editor, meaning developers don't have to jump between multiple tools just to generate content.

Data Preparation and Vectors

Need to index documents for RAG? Use `create_embeddings` to turn text chunks into vector embeddings. The server also handles document reordering with `create_rerank`, making sure search results hit the mark. And don't forget file management: use `upload_file` and then manage those files using `list_files` for controlled data flow.
