Official MCP server for the Perplexity API Platform. Provides AI agents with real-time web search, deep research, and advanced reasoning capabilities through Sonar models. Includes tools for quick web search, conversational Q&A with citations, comprehensive deep research reports, and complex analytical reasoning. Returns answers with source attribution and supports configurable timeouts for long research queries.
Official Atlassian Rovo MCP Server — a cloud-based bridge between Atlassian Cloud and any MCP-compatible AI tool. Enables AI agents to search, summarize, create, and update Jira issues, Confluence pages, and Compass components in real-time. Uses OAuth 2.1 or API token authentication, respects existing user permissions, and supports remote HTTP-streaming as well as local stdio via the mcp-remote proxy. Works with Claude, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, VS Code, Cursor, and ChatGPT.
Skills vs MCP servers
what's the difference?Skillsthe “what to do”
A skillA reusable, structured prompt/workflow with recommended models, an example prompt, and compatible tools. packages know-how — instructions, an example promptA ready-to-use prompt template that demonstrates how to invoke the skill., and recommended models — so an agent performs a task consistently. Skills add knowledge, not new connections.
MCP serversthe “how to connect”
An MCP serverModel Context Protocol server — a standard way to expose tools, resources, and prompts to AI agents and IDEs. gives an agent new capabilities by connecting it to real systems (databases, APIs, files) over a transportHow the client talks to the server: stdio (local process), SSE, or HTTP streaming.. MCP adds connections and actions, not task instructions.
Rule of thumb: reach for a skill when you need the model to do a task well, and an MCP server when you need it to reach a tool or system. They compose — a skill can rely on tools an MCP server provides.
