Perplexity Comet MCP

A production-grade MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that bridges Claude Code with Perplexity's Comet browser for autonomous web browsing, research, and multi-tab workflow management.

Why Perplexity Comet MCP?

Approach	Limitation
Search APIs	Static text, no interaction, no login support
Browser Automation	Single-agent model overwhelms context, fragments focus
Perplexity Comet MCP	Claude codes while Comet handles browsing autonomously

This is a significantly enhanced fork of hanzili/comet-mcp with Windows support, smart completion detection, robust connection handling, and full tab management.

Features

Core Capabilities

Autonomous Web Browsing - Comet navigates, clicks, types, and extracts data while Claude focuses on coding
Deep Research Mode - Leverage Perplexity's research capabilities for comprehensive analysis
Login Wall Handling - Access authenticated content through real browser sessions
Dynamic Content - Full JavaScript rendering and interaction support

Enhanced Features (New in This Fork)

Feature	Description
Windows/WSL Support	Full compatibility with Windows and WSL environments
Tab Management	Track, switch, and close browser tabs with protection
Smart Completion	Detect response completion without fixed timeouts
Auto-Reconnect	Exponential backoff recovery from connection drops
One-Shot Reliability	Pre-operation health checks for consistent execution
Agentic Auto-Trigger	Automatically triggers browser actions from natural prompts

Comparison with Original

Capability	Original	Enhanced
Platform Support	macOS	Windows, WSL, macOS
Available Tools	6	8 (+comet_tabs, +comet_upload)
Completion Detection	Fixed timeout	Stability-based
Connection Recovery	None	Auto-reconnect with backoff
Tab Management	None	Full registry and control
Health Monitoring	None	Cached health checks
Last Tab Protection	None	Prevents browser crash
