Perplexity

Quickly organize notes with the MCP Server

Your agent uses `list_notebooks` to pull a list of all your existing notebooks, giving you the IDs needed for everything else. After that, it can read notebook details using `get_notebook`, letting you confirm exactly what's in play. Need to make something new? You just call `create_notebook`. It sets up the structure so you don't have to open the app manually.

Search and retrieve specific notecards

If you need a single piece of data, your agent runs `get_notecard` with an ID. But if you just know some keywords, it hits up `search_notecards`. This tool finds notes within a specified notebook that match what you're looking for. It also handles the whole lifecycle: `update_notecard` lets your agent change old data on the fly, and `delete_notecard` cleans things up when they're no longer useful.

Full control over your structured ideas

The `list_notecards` tool requires a notebook ID to run, so you always know where the notes are coming from. This keeps the data clean and traceable. When you're done with a whole project, don't worry—your agent can use `delete_notebook` to wipe it out entirely, or `delete_notecard` if you just want to remove one specific piece of writing.
