Perplexity

Visual Auditing in Cursor

Need to test how a component looks on mobile? Use `take_mobile_screenshot` right where you're coding. The agent calls this tool, and the live response—the image data—gets injected into your file context. It’s perfect for writing mock-ups or testing UI elements without needing to switch environments.

PDF Generation in Cursor

Writing a script that needs to consume web content? The `generate_pdf` tool lets you pull a URL and get the resulting PDF data. You can then write code that reads this binary output, treating it like any other API response. This means your agent can use real-world formatted documents as inputs for your application logic.

Screenshotting with Cursor

The `take_screenshot` tool gives you a quick PNG of a URL. The AI generates the working code that calls this function, and the response—the screenshot data—is available to your coding session. You get live context without leaving Cursor; no more having to paste image links from an external browser.

Open MCP Settings

Go to Cursor Settings → MCP or open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and search for "MCP: Add Server".
