Features automatic query complexity detection to route requests to the most appropriate model for optimal results. Unlike the Official server, it has search capabilities FOR EVERY TASK, essentially It also forces the agent using the MCP to be specific Tools 1. Search (Sonar Pro) Quick search for simple queries and basic information lookup. Best for straightforward questions that need concise, direct answers. 2. Reason (Sonar Reasoning Pro) Handles complex, multi-step tasks requiring detailed analysis. Perfect for explanations, comparisons, and problem-solving. 3. Deep Research (Sonar Deep Research) Conducts comprehensive research and generates detailed reports. Ideal for in-depth analysis of complex topics. Setup 1. Prerequisites - Node.js (from nodejs.org) - Perplexity API key (from perplexity.ai/settings/api) - clone the repo somewhere 2. Configure MCP Settings Add to your MCP settings file (location varies by platform): Or use NPX to not have to install it locally (recommended for macos): In case the MCP Client is not able to parse the Perplexity API Key from the environment using methods like \"${env:PERPLEXITY API KEY}\" common in modern AI Coding Agents (e.g. Kiro), there are two fallback solutions: Command-Line Argument : Pass the API key directly as a command-line argument, and you can even try to see whether \"${env:PERPLEXITY API KEY}\" works in there.
