What is the IBISWorld MCP Server and how does it work with Perplexity?
The IBISWorld MCP Server connects Perplexity directly to IBISWorld's research database using Model Context Protocol, the open standard for linking AI platforms to external data. Once connected, you can ask Perplexity questions in natural language and get IBISWorld data pulled straight into your conversation, properly sourced and citable.
What kind of IBISWorld data can I access through Perplexity?
You can reach IBISWorld's full research coverage across 50,000-plus industries, including revenue and employment statistics, financial ratios, risk scores, cost structures, trade data, and analyst-written insights. This includes national, provincial, and state-level industry research, company reports, procurement research, and segment benchmarking, depending on what's included in your membership.
Does connecting IBISWorld to Perplexity share my data with them?
No. Authentication runs through your existing IBISWorld credentials, and the connector only pulls IBISWorld research into your Perplexity conversation when you ask for it. Your IBISWorld access and permissions stay exactly as they are on the platform today.
How do I connect IBISWorld to Perplexity?
You'll need MCP added to your IBISWorld license, then the connector installed from Perplexity's connector directory and signed in with your IBISWorld login. Your Perplexity admin may need to handle installation depending on your organization's setup.
