Description

This server acts as an intelligent research assistant that automatically analyzes query complexity to route requests to the most appropriate Perplexity model (Search, Reason, or Deep Research). It provides three tools—Search (Sonar Pro), Reason (Sonar Reasoning Pro), and Deep Research (Sonar Deep Research)—and allows forcing a specific model when needed. The project emphasizes searchable results for all tasks and includes setup instructions requiring a Perplexity API key and Node.js or npx usage.
