Perplexity for public research. DataFaucet for private tool access.
Create MCP servers from your internal apps in 60 seconds.
Perplexity is excellent at what it does: searching the web, synthesizing sources, and answering research questions. If you need to know what a public API does, find a library comparison, or research a technology, Perplexity excels.
DataFaucet operates in the opposite direction. Instead of searching public information, it gives AI tools authenticated access to your private stack: Jira tickets, Grafana dashboards, internal wikis, staging environments, admin panels.
Perplexity answers "what does X do?" DataFaucet answers "what's happening in our X right now?"
They create demand. We create supply.
Perplexity searches the web. DataFaucet connects AI to your authenticated apps, dashboards, and internal APIs.
No credit card. No code. Free tier includes 3 servers.
