- Integrates with the Sonar API for live web searches
- Provides a single tool: perplexity_ask
- Supports multi-turn conversation via messages array
- Configurable via Docker or NPX
- Advanced search parameters can be modified in index.ts
Setting up with Highlight
This MCP is not yet compatible with Highlight’s one-click setup. However, you can still use it with Highlight by following these steps:
- Download and install Highlight from highlightai.com/download
- Navigate to the plugins tab and select "Add Custom Plugin"
-
Configure the plugin with the settings below
Plugin Name
Daily TodoCommand (node, npx, python, etc.)Please refer to the README for specific instructions on how to obtain API keys or other required environment variables.
- Enable "Start Automatically" if you want the plugin to start when Highlight launches
From the repository
Clone the repository, install dependencies with npm install, obtain a Sonar API key and set it as the PERPLEXITY_API_KEY environment variable, then configure Claude Desktop by adding the server to claude_desktop_config.json using Docker or NPX. Build the Docker image with docker build -t mcp/perplexity-ask:latest -f Dockerfile . if using Docker.
Claude Desktop / Cursor
Paste into your MCP client config file to install this server.

}TODO for Test
An MCP server implementation that integrates the Sonar API to provide Claude with unparalleled real-time, web-wide research.
Tools
- perplexity_ask
- Engage in a conversation with the Sonar API for live web searches.
- Inputs:
- messages (array): An array of conversation messages.
- Each message must include:
- role (string): The role of the message (e.g., system, user, assistant).
- content (string): The content of the message.
Configuration
Step 1:
Clone this repository:
git clone git@github.com:ppl-ai/modelcontextprotocol.git
Navigate to the perplexity-ask directory and install the necessary dependencies:
cd modelcontextprotocol/perplexity-ask && npm install
Step 2: Get a Sonar API Key
1. Sign up for a Sonar API account.
2. Follow the account setup instructions and generate your API key from the developer dashboard.
3. Set the API key in your environment as PERPLEXITY_API_KEY.
Step 3: Configure Claude Desktop
1. Download Claude desktop here.
2. Add this to your claude_desktop_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"perplexity-ask": {
"command": "docker",
"args": [
"run",
"-i",
"--rm",
"-e",
"PERPLEXITY_API_KEY",
"mcp/perplexity-ask"
],
"env": {
"PERPLEXITY_API_KEY": "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"
}
}
}
}
NPX
{
"mcpServers": {
"perplexity-ask": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"server-perplexity-ask"
],
"env": {
"PERPLEXITY_API_KEY": "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"
}
}
}
}
You can access the file using:
vim ~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Step 4: Build the Docker Image
Docker build:
docker build -t mcp/perplexity-ask:latest -f Dockerfile .
Step 5: Testing
Let's make sure Claude for Desktop is picking up the two tools we've exposed in our perplexity-ask server. You can do this by looking for the hammer icon:
After clicking on the hammer icon, you should see the tools that come with the Filesystem MCP Server:
If you see both of these this means that the integration is active. Congratulations! This means Claude can now ask Perplexity. You can then simply use it as you would use the Perplexity web app.
Step 6: Advanced parameters
Currently, the search parameters used are the default ones. You can modify any search parameter in the API call directly in the index.ts script. For this, please refer to the official API documentation.
Troubleshooting
The Claude documentation provides an excellent troubleshooting guide you can refer to. However, you can still reach out to us at api@perplexity.ai for any additional support or file a bug.
