Perspect , Claude Code plugin

Convene a panel of expert AI personas to debate any topic, idea, or decision, from every side. Perspect runs the debate, cites live web sources, maps exactly where the experts disagree, and hands back a synthesized briefing. Not a yes-man.

Install

/plugin marketplace add Nkbros12k/perspect-mcp
/plugin install perspect-debate@perspect

Set your token

The connector runs debates against your own Perspect account, so it needs a personal token (requires a Perspect Pro plan):

Go to https://www.tryperspect.com/connect and click Generate key.
Set it in your environment before using the plugin:
```
export PERSPECT_TOKEN=psk_your_key_here
```
(or add PERSPECT_TOKEN=... to your shell profile / .claude/env.)

The plugin's MCP config reads ${PERSPECT_TOKEN} and sends it as Authorization: Bearer <token>.

Tools

run_debate(topic, personas?) , convene the panel; returns the debate, the contradiction map, and a synthesized briefing (~30-60s).
list_personas() , list the available expert personas.

Example

"Convene a Perspect panel on whether we should raise prices, then summarize where the experts disagree."
