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.
RETIRED — Prism / smart-reader-mcp
Status: retired product (hard cut, 2026-08-07)
Prism was a local media router (sniff + spawn Citra/Iris/Cue MCP servers). That composition belongs to the agent host / skills, not a seventh product.
Do not install as a product
Do not add
smart-reader-mcp/prismas a current MCP server for new agents.Do not treat this repository as an active Instrument, marketplace listing, or release authority.
Historical source remains for archaeology only.

What to use instead
Need | Authority |
PDF evidence | Citra — |
Image evidence | Iris — |
Video timeline | Cue — |
Unknown media type | Host skill: sniff (magic bytes / extension) then call the matching instrument MCP |

Why retired
Multi-server MCP hosts already compose independent servers.
A router product doubles process tax and couples three release trains.
Instruments law: host owns composition; products own one evidence domain.
Historical package ids (non-authority)
@sylphx/smart-reader-mcpbin
prism/smart-reader-mcpMCP name
io.github.SylphxAI/smart-reader-mcp
If these still resolve on npm, they are legacy artifacts, not the current product model.
Sniff utility (non-product)
Magic-byte sniffing for host skills lives under src/sniff/ as reference code.
Prefer copying a minimal sniff into a host skill rather than depending on this package.
