Perplexity MCP Server via Polza.ai

mcp-name: io.github.ivanantigravity-lgtm/perplexity-polza-mcp-server

MCP сервер для Claude Desktop и Claude Code, который ходит в модели Perplexity (Sonar, Sonar Pro, Sonar Reasoning, Sonar Deep Research) через агрегатор Polza.ai.

Что умеет

  • perplexitymodelguide — шпаргалка по выбору модели под задачу
  • perplexity_ask — обычный вопрос в Perplexity
  • perplexity_research — более глубокий ресёрч с веб-поиском
  • listperplexitymodels — список доступных perplexity/* моделей из каталога Polza

Что нужно для установки

  • Claude Desktop или Claude Code (или любой другой MCP-клиент)
  • uv (ставится одной командой, см. ниже)
  • Python 3.11+
  • POLZAAIAPI_KEY — ключ берётся на polza.ai/dashboard/api-keys

Поставить uv:

curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

Установка за 2 минуты (через PyPI + uvx)

Это самый простой путь: ничего клонировать не надо, uvx сам скачает пакет из PyPI.

Claude Code / VS Code

Создай файл .mcp.json в корне своего проекта:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "perplexity-polza": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["perplexity-polza-mcp-server@latest"],
      "env": {
        "POLZA_AI_API_KEY": "your-polza-api-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Перезапусти Claude Code — готово.

Claude Desktop (macOS)

Открой файл ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claudedesktopconfig.json и добавь:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "perplexity-polza": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["perplexity-polza-mcp-server@latest"],
      "env": {
        "POLZA_AI_API_KEY": "your-polza-api-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Перезапусти Claude Desktop.

Claude Desktop (Windows)

Файл: %APPDATA%\Claude\claudedesktopconfig.json. Содержимое такое же, как на macOS.

Как проверить, что работает

После перезапуска Claude попроси:

Покажи доступные модели Perplexity через polza

Claude должен вызвать tool listperplexitymodels и вернуть список.

Когда какую модель брать

  • Sonar — быстрый поиск + ответ. Новости, факты, Q&A, короткие суммаризации.
  • Sonar Pro — плотнее структура, сравнения, follow-up вопросы.
  • Sonar Pro Search — глубже поиск, больше поисковых шагов.
  • Sonar Reasoning Pro — не просто найти, а разобрать и сделать вывод.
  • Sonar Deep Research — полноценный ресёрч, market scan, длинный отчёт.

Переключить дефолтную модель можно через переменные окружения PERPLEXITYMODEL и PERPLEXITYRESEARCH_MODEL — полный список ниже.

Переменные окружения

Локальная разработка

git clone https://github.com/ivanantigravity-lgtm/perplexity-polza-mcp-server.git
cd perplexity-polza-mcp-server
uv sync
POLZA_AI_API_KEY=your_key uv run python -m perplexity_polza_mcp_server.server

Для локального подключения из source в Claude:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "perplexity-polza-local": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": ["run", "python", "-m", "perplexity_polza_mcp_server.server"],
      "cwd": "/absolute/path/to/perplexity-polza-mcp-server",
      "env": {
        "POLZA_AI_API_KEY": "your-polza-api-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}
