Sonar MCP server

Sonar is a remote MCP server that gives an AI agent 53 tools, among them sonar_add_screenshot, sonar_alert_events, sonar_analyze_competitors. It answers at https://trysonar.app/mcp over streamable HTTP, and it listed its tools to an anonymous client, so no sign-in was needed for that. Our probes reached it 10 of 10 times since 4 September 2026; the last check, on 17 October 2026, succeeded.

Questions about Sonar

Is there an official Sonar MCP server?

Yes. It is published by trysonar.app and served from trysonar.app, the vendor's own domain: https://trysonar.app/mcp.

How many tools does Sonar have?

53, as returned by the server's own tools/list on 9 September 2026: sonar_add_screenshot, sonar_alert_events, sonar_analyze_competitors, sonar_app_aso_score, sonar_app_changes, sonar_app_extract_keywords, sonar_app_keywords, sonar_app_lookup, and 45 more.

Is Sonar down?

It answered our last check on 17 October 2026 in 413 ms. Over 10 checks since 4 September 2026 it answered 10.

How do I add Sonar to Cursor?

Put the server under mcpServers in ~/.cursor/mcp.json with the URL https://trysonar.app/mcp. The exact JSON is above, with the same setup for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed, Gemini CLI and the rest.

Does Sonar need an API key?

It listed its tools to an anonymous client, so reading the tool list needs no key. Individual tools can still ask for credentials in their own inputs.
