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 / prism as 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 — `@sylphx/citra` / repo `pdf-reader-mcp`
Image evidence	Iris — `@sylphx/iris` / repo `image-reader-mcp`
Video timeline	Cue — `@sylphx/cue` / repo `video-reader-mcp`
Unknown media type	Host skill: sniff (magic bytes / extension) then call the matching instrument MCP
Family law	`SylphxAI/skills` → `apply-instrument-family` + `docs/knowledge/instruments/INSTRUMENT-FAMILY-LAW.md`

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-mcp
bin prism / smart-reader-mcp
MCP 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.
