Hi all, I’ve been notified that there’s coming a new AI model and accordingly new documentations. I have updated my API key. My MCP config setting doesn’t have model description so that Perplexity still uses llama after showing an error below.  
How can I use a Soner-pro on a MCP setting?

My config file description on claude is below.:

“mcpServers”: {  
“perplexity”: {  
“command”: “node”,  
“args”: [“/Users/**/perplexity-mcp-server/dist/index.js"],  
“env”: {  
“PERPLEXITY\_API\_KEY”: "pplx-**\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*”  
}  
},
