Sunex Optics MCP Server
OfficialHosts the MCP server as a thin proxy on Cloudflare Workers, providing read-only access to Sunex's production catalog API for lens and imager search capabilities.
Provides tools to search and retrieve detailed specifications for Sony imagers (like IMX577, IMX477) including computed geometry measurements and compatible lens recommendations.
Click on "Install Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@Sunex Optics MCP Serverfind lenses for a 5MP sensor with 2.5µm pixels"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
Sunex Optics MCP Server
A public Model Context Protocol server that lets AI assistants search Sunex's lens and imager catalog in natural language.
Live endpoint: https://mcp.sunex-ai.com/mcp
Landing page: sunex-ai.com
Transport: Streamable HTTP (MCP spec 2025-03-26). Legacy SSE endpoint at /sse preserved for older clients.

Five tools
Tool | What it does |
| Give it an imager PN → compatible lenses with FOV and angular resolution. One shot. |
| Find sensors by PN, manufacturer, or resolution class. |
| Full sensor specs plus computed geometry (width / height / diagonal in mm). |
| Given pixel count + pitch, return lenses whose image circle covers the sensor. |
| Full catalog search by PN or keyword, with sample pricing and RFQ links. |
Example prompts
"Recommend a wide-angle lens for the Sony IMX577 with F/2.0 or faster."
"I need fisheye lenses under $100."
"What's the diagonal of the IMX477 in mm?"
"Find lenses for a 1920×1080 sensor with 3µm pixels, 100–180° HFOV."
