getcheapgames for Perplexity

Find the cheapest legit key for any PC or console game, without opening a dozen store tabs. This plugin connects Perplexity to getcheapgames, which compares game key prices across official stores (Steam, GOG, the Nintendo eShop and others) and key marketplaces (G2A, Kinguin, Gamivo and others) in 40 markets, in each market's currency.

Ask things like:

• "Where is Elden Ring cheapest right now?"
• "Find me a strategy game under $20."
• "Suggest a free-to-play action game for PC."
• "What are the best game deals today?"
• "Is there a buying guide for GTA 6?"

What's included

The plugin uses the open Agent Plugins format, the one Perplexity's own plugins use, so any client that reads it can install it from this repository.

• Connector (mcp.json): the getcheapgames MCP server at https://mcp.getcheapgames.com, with read-only tools to search games, list every offer for a game, list the biggest savings, find the best-rated games under a price, suggest free-to-play games, list a franchise's or publisher's games, list the compared stores, and read getcheapgames' news, guides and reviews.
• Skills (skills/): find-cheapest-game-key, games-under-a-budget, free-to-play-games and game-deals-and-news, which tell the assistant how to use those tools and how to present the answers: prices per platform, region-lock warnings and tables.

Add it to Perplexity

Custom connectors are on Perplexity's paid plans (Pro, Max and Enterprise).

1. On perplexity.ai, open Customize → Connectors → + Custom connector.
2. Choose Add MCP connector.
3. Name it getcheapgames and paste https://mcp.getcheapgames.com as the server URL. It needs no sign-in or API key.
4. Tick the acknowledgement and press Add, then turn the connector on.

Perplexity has no public directory for outside connectors yet, so for now it is added by hand. The same address works in any MCP client that connects to a remote (Streamable HTTP) server.

What it sends and stores

The plugin runs no code on your machine. When the assistant uses a tool, it sends the tool's arguments to https://mcp.getcheapgames.com: what you asked about (a game name, a genre, a budget, a platform) and a market code such as us or de. No account is needed, nothing about you is sent, and the tools only read public prices: they never buy anything or change anything.

The server limits how often it can be called, so a very busy session may be asked to wait a minute.

Links in the answers go to getcheapgames.com. Most links to stores are affiliate links: getcheapgames may earn a commission when you buy, which never changes the price you pay or the order offers are ranked in.
