Overview

From the repository's own README, as read at the audited commit. Badges and raw HTML are left out.

Give your AI agent memory that lasts — and see the cloud tokens it never had to spend. Persistent sessions, knowledge graphs, offline tool-routing, and an auditable savings meter. Fully local and free.

Prism Coder is an MCP server that gives Claude, Cursor, and other AI tools long-term memory that survives across sessions. It ships with the open-weight prism-coder model fleet (2B–27B) for fast, offline tool-routing — no cloud required. And it keeps score: every call served locally is metered, so prism savings shows the token volume that never reached your cloud model — measured honestly, in tokens.

No account needed. No API keys. Runs on your machine. A paid subscription adds cloud sync, higher model tiers, and team features through the Synalux portal.

What Prism gives you

  • Session memory that survives restarts — resume projects with handoff notes,

recent work, open TODOs, and configurable quick, standard, or deep context.

  • Local-first inference — bounded work is routed through local Ollama models

first, with automatic 2B/4B/9B/27B selection based on installed models, available RAM, context fit, and subscription ent

Questions

What is the Prism Coder MCP server?

Persistent session memory for AI coding agents — local-first, with on-device inference, associative recall, and drift detection. Works with Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex.

What tools does Prism Coder expose?

77 in total: 51 read-only, 23 that write, and 3 that can delete or overwrite (deep_storage_purge, maintenance_vacuum, session_forget_memory). Every one is listed on this page with its risk.

Is Prism Coder safe to connect to an agent?

No — not without reading the findings first. The audit graded it F (58/100) and found 2 critical or high issues in the source. Each one is listed on this page with the file and line it is on. Separately from the audit: 3 of its tools can destroy data, so scope the token you give it to what you actually need.

What credentials does Prism Coder need?

It reads ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, AUTH_JWKS_URI, BRAVE_ANSWERS_API_KEY, BRAVE_API_KEY, DD_API_KEY, FIRECRAWL_API_KEY, GEMINI_API_KEY, GITHUB_TOKEN, GITHUB_WEBHOOK_SECRET, GOOGLE_API_KEY, OPENAI_API_KEY and PRISM_ANTHROPIC_MAX_TOKENS from the environment. Give it a token scoped to the least it needs — an agent that can be talked into calling a tool can be talked into calling it with your credentials.

How does Prism Coder run?

It speaks sse and stdio, so it runs as a local process your client starts. It is published on npm as prism-coder at 20.21.19.

How current is this page?

The grade is for one exact copy of the source (2f49422c94c5), read on 2026-10-07. The repository is watched and re-audited when it changes.
