Which app do you use?

ClaudeClaude CodeCursorVS CodeChatGPT

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "perplexity-polza": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "perplexity-polza-mcp-server"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add perplexity-polza -- uvx perplexity-polza-mcp-server

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "perplexity-polza": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "perplexity-polza-mcp-server"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "perplexity-polza": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "perplexity-polza-mcp-server"

Common questions

Is Perplexity Polza MCP Server safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.1.1) reached the registry 7 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Python (uv) on your computer.

What can I use instead?

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

perplexity_model_guide — шпаргалка по выбору модели под задачу
perplexity_ask — обычный вопрос в Perplexity
perplexity_research — более глубокий ресёрч с веб-поиском
list_perplexity_models — 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+
POLZA_AI_API_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/claude_desktop_config.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\claude_desktop_config.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 list_perplexity_models 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 PERPLEXITY_MODEL и PERPLEXITY_RESEARCH_MODEL — полный список ниже.

Переменные окружения

Переменная	Обязательная	По умолчанию	Описание
`POLZA_AI_API_KEY`	да	—	Ключ с polza.ai
`POLZA_BASE_URL`	нет	`https://polza.ai/api/v1`	Base URL для chat completions (с `/v1` — это ожидаемо, endpoint OpenAI-совместим)
`PERPLEXITY_MODEL`	нет	`perplexity/sonar`	Модель для `perplexity_ask`
`PERPLEXITY_RESEARCH_MODEL`	нет	`perplexity/sonar-deep-research`	Модель для `perplexity_research`
`LOG_LEVEL`	нет	`INFO`	—

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" } } } }

Под капотом

Chat completions: POST https://polza.ai/api/v1/chat/completions (OpenAI-совместимый формат)
Model catalog: GET https://polza.ai/api/v1/models/catalog
