PrismBLOCK
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.
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

Built from this server's own package name, version and transport as found in its source — not copied from anyone's documentation, so it cannot drift against a page we do not control. Replace the environment placeholders with a token scoped to the least it needs.

Questions
What is the Prism 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 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 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 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 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.
