Environment

Name	Required	Notes
PERPLEXITY_API_KEY	Yes	Your Perplexity API key. Read at call time and sent only as an Authorization header to api.perplexity.ai; never logged or echoed. Secret.
PERPLEXITY_AGENT_WAIT_SECONDS	No	How long a blocking call waits before handing back a response_id to collect later. Defaults to 55, just inside Claude Desktop's unconfigurable 60s tool-call timeout. Raise to 300 on clients without that limit.
