What it does
Perplexity's official MCP server connects agents to the Sonar API for live, citation-backed web search, conversational answers, multi-source deep research, and chain-of-thought reasoning. Tools are LLM-backed: each call runs a Sonar model that performs retrieval and synthesis. Runs locally over stdio (HTTP mode is self-host).
Example prompts
- What are the latest developments in the EU AI Act? Cite sources.
- Do deep research on serverless Postgres providers and compare them.
