For account-based delegation, use the official Computer MCP endpoint https://www.perplexity.ai/rest/computer/mcp with OAuth; Claude Code: claude mcp add perplexity-computer --transport http https://www.perplexity.ai/rest/computer/mcp ; Codex: codex mcp add perplexity-computer --url https://www.perplexity.ai/rest/computer/mcp . Computer consumes the account's included usage/credits, not a free API entitlement; paid Consumer Pro has weekly included Computer usage (rolling out), not recurring monthly credits; initial 4,000-credit bonus is one-time. For high-volume structured search, use official Search API Fast Search at $1 per 1,000 successful POST requests (or standard $5/1,000), billed separately with an API key. Official pplx CLI uses API key; do not mistake it for Pro web access. Unofficial cookie/session wrappers may conflict with Perplexity Terms of Service restrictions on bots/scraping.
