What it does

A community MCP server by DaInfernalCoder that sends questions to Perplexity's Sonar models and picks the model by how complex the query looks. It has three tools: a quick search on Sonar Pro, a reasoning tool on Sonar Reasoning Pro for comparisons and multi-step explanations, and a deep research tool on Sonar Deep Research that accepts focus areas and returns a long report; each can be forced to its own model. It is cloned, built and run locally with Node.js, also ships on npm as perplexity-mcp, and needs a Perplexity API key.

Capabilities

  • Answer simple queries with Perplexity Sonar Pro
  • Work through multi-step questions with a reasoning model
  • Produce deep research reports on chosen focus areas
