Overview

What is Perplexity Ask OpenRouter?

Perplexity Ask OpenRouter is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that connects Perplexity’s models to the OpenRouter API, enabling their use with any MCP-compatible client. It is designed for developers who want to access Perplexity’s models (Sonar, Sonar Deep Research, Sonar Reasoning) through OpenRouter.

How to use Perplexity Ask OpenRouter?

The easiest way is to run the prebuilt Docker image with your OpenRouter API key and optionally set model defaults via environment variables (ASK_MODEL, RESEARCH_MODEL, REASON_MODEL). The server exposes SSE and Streamable HTTP endpoints for MCP clients, and disable flags (DISABLE_ASK, DISABLE_RESEARCH, DISABLE_REASON) let you turn off specific tools.

FAQ from Perplexity Ask OpenRouter

What dependencies does the server require?

An OpenRouter API key set via the OPENROUTER_API_KEY environment variable is required. No other external services are needed if using the default Docker image.

What transport protocols are supported?

The server supports both SSE (via /sse and /messages endpoints) and Streamable HTTP (via /mcp endpoint). Both can be used by any MCP-compatible client.

Is there a known limitation on request volume or rate?

The README does not specify rate limits. All requests are routed through OpenRouter and subject to OpenRouter’s own limits.

Where does data (prompts, responses) live?

In transit between the MCP client, the server, and OpenRouter. No persistent storage is mentioned in the README.

How is authentication handled?

The server authenticates with OpenRouter using the OPENROUTER_API_KEY environment variable. No additional authentication is required for MCP clients.
