Perplexity for Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT & agents

Perplexity — ask grounded research questions and get web-cited answers using the Perplexity Sonar API

curl -fsSL https://syncorelabs.ai/install.sh | sh

What it does

Perplexity — ask grounded research questions and get web-cited answers using the Perplexity Sonar API. Use when the user wants to look up / research / fact-check something current with sources — news, recent events, technical docs, product info — and prefers a synthesized answer with citation URLs over raw search results. Supports sonar / sonar-pro models.

The Perplexity skill is one of 75+ pre-wired Syncore integrations that any MCP-compatible client — Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Codex CLI, and ChatGPT desktop — can call out of the box. You don't configure MCP servers or copy API keys into a JSON file; the Syncore daemon discovers the skill at startup and exposes its tools to whichever AI client is running.

Sample prompts

Once Syncore is installed and Perplexity is connected, ask your agent something like:

• “What's the current state of MCP adoption across major AI clients?”
• “Find recent reviews of the new GPT-5 release with citations.”
• “Search for the latest Cloudflare Workers KV pricing — give me the source URL.”

  Ask / query / research a question via Perplexity Sonar and get a synthesized answer with citation URLs. Use when the user wants a fact-checked, web-grounded reply with sources rather than a raw SERP. Supports model id (default sonar; sonar-pro for deeper research).

How to connect

Perplexity needs a provider API key to talk to perplexity. Connect it from the Syncore dashboard:

3. Visit syncorelabs.ai/connect and authorize Perplexity.
4. Run syncore update to sync the skill + credentials to every installed AI client.
