This server offers a multi-agent delegation browsing approach, combining Claude's coding intelligence with Perplexity's web intelligence, but requires additional installation of Comet browser and carries certain security and privacy risks.
Comet MCP is an MCP server that connects Claude Code to the Perplexity Comet browser. It delegates browsing tasks to an AI purpose-built for web research and browsing, allowing Claude to focus on coding. It supports deep research, real-time task monitoring, and multiple modes.
Tools
comet_connect
Connect to Comet (auto-starts if needed).
comet_ask
Send a task and wait for response.
comet_poll
Check progress on long-running tasks.
comet_stop
Stop current task.
comet_screenshot
Capture current page.
comet_mode
Switch modes: search, research, labs, learn.
Setup
- Add the configuration above to ~/.claude.json or .mcp.json.
- Install Perplexity Comet browser (download from official site).
- Restart Claude Code after configuration.
If Comet is installed in a non-standard location, set the COMET_PATH environment variable.

"comet-bridge": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "comet-mcp"]
}
}
}
Fit and risk
Not for
- Simple queries that don't require complex browser interaction
- Users who don't install Comet browser
- Users who need low-level control of the browser
Required permissions
- Auto-launch Comet browser
- Communicate with browser via CDP
- Read and write browser page content
- Requires Node.js 18+ environment
Risks and side effects
- Browser automation may pose security risks; ensure trust in the source
- Comet browser may collect usage data; consider privacy
- Auto-launching browser may consume system resources
Troubleshooting
- Cannot connect to Comet: Check if Comet is installed (macOS: /Applications/Comet.app, Windows: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Perplexity\Comet\Application\)
- WSL cannot connect: Enable mirrored networking or use Windows PowerShell
- Tools not showing: Restart Claude Code
