comet-mcp

Overview

Comet MCP is a Model Context Protocol server that bridges Claude Code with Perplexity Comet browser, enabling a multi-agent approach to web browsing. Instead of having Claude handle both coding and browsing tasks, it delegates web interactions to Comet, which is purpose-built for web research. This maintains Claude's focus on coding while leveraging Comet's specialized web navigation capabilities for login handling, dynamic content, and deep research tasks.
