Prism Coder
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
recent work, open TODOs, and configurable quick, standard, or deep context.
- Session memory that survives restarts — resume projects with handoff notes,
first, with automatic 2B/4B/9B/27B selection based on installed models, available RAM, context fit, and subscription entitlements.
- Local-first inference — bounded work is routed through local Ollama models
tool from any host) reports the token volume local serving kept off your cloud model: headline, local share, per-model breakdown. It reports tokens, never an invented dollar figure, and prints its assumptions and known undercounts inline — a number you can check, not marketing.
- A savings meter you can audit — prism savings (or the local_savings
tools the host actually advertised. Standard and higher plans can add authenticated deterministic correction; routeguard: "local" disables that correction only. cloudfallback: false forbids cloud inference fallback and verify: false (with no evidence) disables the grounding verifier. With all three off, no request carries your prompt, draft or evidence; the per-call entitlement check and telemetry still contact the portal and carry neither.
- Route-output enforcement — route mode returns only well-formed calls to
Claude Desktop, Cursor, Gemini CLI, and Codex while preserving unrelated settings.
- One setup for every agent — prism connect configures Claude Code,
host launches, with safe upgrades, downgrades, conflict preservation, and offline last-good recovery.
- Subscription-aware skills — entitled skills are synchronized before the
startup context without requiring lifecycle hooks or a Prism-owned launcher. Where a host offers hooks (Claude Code, Codex), prism connect adds two small ones on top: mid-session prompt routing, and a post-compaction re-injection of the protected-floor digest.
- Hook-free startup — MCP metadata and native instructions request Prism's
reserved text remains fail-closed (clinical images are processed locally, never sent to the cloud), and local/cloud usage is recorded for review.
- Safe escalation and observability — inference outcomes are explicit,

Prism Coder: common questions
- Is Prism Coder MCP server safe?
- With care: it is graded C, so read the findings first (68/100). Read the Prism Coder safety report
- How do I install Prism Coder?
- It runs on your machine. Copy the Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code or Claude Desktop config from the install section.
- Does Prism Coder need an API key?
- Yes. The registry entry asks for
BRAVE_API_KEY,GEMINI_API_KEY,SUPABASE_KEY. - Is Prism Coder maintained?
- The last commit was 36 days ago (2026-09-30). The latest release is v20.22.4.
- What can I use instead of Prism Coder?
- Servers from other publishers that do the same job: Deja Vu MCP server, Memorix MCP server and Nautilus Compass Memory MCP server.
- How does Prism Coder compare with other MCP servers?
- safety score 68/100 (higher than 30% of 48,243 servers); github stars 157 (more than 95% of 28,706 servers); downloads a week 1,276 (more than 95% of 12,306 servers with a package). Full comparison.
