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 | shУстановка 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.
