Parallel Task MCP
Deep research and data enrichment from your AI assistant.
Research a question or enrich a small dataset, then retrieve the results without leaving your agent. Parallel hosts the service; you do not need to run this repository to use it.
Task MCP requires a Parallel account and authentication. Unlike the free Search MCP, creating research or enrichment tasks is billable. Review Task API pricing before starting work.
