Compatible with every major AI agent and IDE
Chat on Perplexity AI Alternative
Requires the model ID (e.g. "sonar", "sonar-pro", "sonar-reasoning") and messages array in JSON format. Each message must have a "role" ("user", "assistant" or "system") and "content" (text). Optionally set max_tokens, temperature (0-1), top_p (0-1), search domain filter, and whether to return images or related questions. Returns the assistant's response with citations. Send a chat message to a Perplexity model
Chat pro on Perplexity AI Alternative
Requires messages array in JSON format. Optionally set max_tokens and temperature. Returns the assistant's response with citations. Send a chat message to the Sonar Pro model for enhanced responses
Chat with reasoning on Perplexity AI Alternative
Requires messages array in JSON format. Optionally set max_tokens, temperature and reasoning_effort (low, medium, high). Returns the assistant's response with detailed reasoning chain. Send a message to the Sonar Reasoning model for step-by-step reasoning
Chat with reasoning pro on Perplexity AI Alternative
Requires messages array in JSON format. Optionally set max_tokens, temperature and reasoning_effort (low, medium, high). Returns the assistant's response with detailed reasoning chain and citations. Send a message to the Sonar Reasoning Pro model for deep reasoning
Get usage on Perplexity AI Alternative
Useful for monitoring API consumption and staying within usage limits. Get API usage statistics
List models on Perplexity AI Alternative
Each model returns its ID (e.g. "sonar", "sonar-pro", "sonar-reasoning", "sonar-reasoning-pro"), display name and capabilities. Use this to discover which models are available and their IDs for use with the chat and sonar tools. List all available Perplexity models
Search on Perplexity AI Alternative
Returns search results with snippets, citations and source URLs. Requires the search query. Optionally set max_results and domain filter to limit results to specific websites. Search the web using Perplexity Search API
Sonar on Perplexity AI Alternative
This is the core search-enhanced model. Requires messages array in JSON format. Optionally set max_tokens and temperature. Returns the assistant's response with web citations. Send a message to the Sonar model for web-grounded responses
How Vinkius protects your data
Is there a risk of the AI "going crazy" and deleting important company data?
No. With Vinkius, the AI operates on "rails". It can only make the exact moves you authorized in the tool's settings. It cannot invent routes, access other networks in your company, or decide to delete random files. If the action isn't in the approved catalog, the attempt is blocked instantly.
Can I audit what my AI agents are doing with this integration?
Yes, Vinkius provides an immutable, HMAC-chained audit log. Every tool execution, payload, and response is tracked in real-time on your dashboard, giving you complete visibility into your agent's actions.
What if the AI ends up reading customer data or confidential information?
We have a built-in digital "bodyguard" called DLP (Data Loss Prevention). If a tool fetches data and the response contains social security numbers, credit cards, or personal customer info, Vinkius magically blocks and erases that information before it is delivered to the AI. The AI works only with what is strictly necessary, and your sensitive data never leaks.
What models are available?
Use the list_models tool to see all available Perplexity models. Key models include sonar (web-grounded chat), sonar-pro (enhanced reasoning), sonar-reasoning and sonar-reasoning-pro. Each model provides real-time web search with citations.
