Works with Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, and other MCP clients via hosted endpoint or local stdio transport.
Enables Codeium's Windsurf editor to integrate with Prismism for file publishing and management, allowing developers to share code, documentation, and other files directly from their development environment.
Supports publishing and sharing of Markdown content through Prismism, allowing users to upload Markdown files or inline Markdown content and generate shareable, tracked links with access controls.
Provides local execution capability for the Prismism MCP server via Node.js runtime, enabling users to run the server locally with stdio transport for file publishing and management operations.
Enables installation and execution of the Prismism MCP server via npm/npx package manager, allowing local deployment and management of the file sharing integration.
Enables publishing and sharing of SVG image files through Prismism, allowing users to upload SVG content and generate shareable links with tracking, analytics, and access control features.

Quick Start
1. Get an API key
Create a free account at prismism.dev or use the prismism_register tool after setup.
2. Connect your client
Hosted endpoint (recommended)
No install needed — connect directly to the Prismism API:
Claude Code
claude mcp add prismism --transport http https://prismism.dev/mcp \
--header "x-api-key: pal_your_key_here"Claude Desktop — edit ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"prismism": {
"url": "https://prismism.dev/mcp",
"headers": {
"x-api-key": "pal_your_key_here"
}
}
}
}Cursor — edit .cursor/mcp.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"prismism": {
"url": "https://prismism.dev/mcp",
"headers": {
"x-api-key": "pal_your_key_here"
}
}
}
}Windsurf — edit ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"prismism": {
"serverUrl": "https://prismism.dev/mcp",
"headers": {
"x-api-key": "pal_your_key_here"
}
}
}
}VS Code — edit .vscode/mcp.json:
{
"servers": {
"prismism": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://prismism.dev/mcp",
"headers": {
"x-api-key": "pal_your_key_here"
}
}
}
}Local (stdio) — alternative
Run via npx if you prefer local transport:
{
"mcpServers": {
"prismism": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["@prismism/mcp-server"],
"env": {
"PRISMISM_API_KEY": "pal_your_key_here"
}
}
}
}3. Verify it works
Ask your agent: "Use the prismism_health tool to check the connection"
Tools
Tool | Auth required | Description |
| — | Check connection and auth status |
| — | Create account + get API key (one-time) |
| ✓ | Publish a file, HTML, or Markdown and get a shareable link |
| ✓ | List your artifacts with pagination |
| ✓ | Get artifact details + analytics |
| ✓ | Update title, access level, gates, content, or expiration |
| ✓ | Fetch raw artifact content (text or base64) |
| ✓ | Permanently delete an artifact |
| ✓ | Get account info, plan, and usage |
Publishing
"Publish this report as a shareable link"The prismism_publish tool supports three modes:
File upload — Set
content(plain text or base64) +filename. Useencoding: "base64"for binary files.Inline HTML — Set
htmlwith raw HTML content. No file needed.Inline Markdown — Set
markdownwith raw Markdown content. No file needed.
All modes support optional access, password, requireEmail, allowedDomains, allowedEmails, expiresAt, and allowNetwork parameters.
Supported file formats: PDF, HTML, Markdown, Images (PNG/JPG/GIF/SVG/WebP), Video (MP4).
Fetching content
"Get the content of my artifact abc123"The prismism_content tool fetches raw artifact content. Text formats return as UTF-8 strings, binary formats return as base64. Owner API key bypasses all gates automatically. For non-owned gated content, pass password or email parameters.
Access control
"Make this artifact private"
"Set allowlist access with alice@acme.com"The prismism_update tool supports access (public/private/allowlist), allowedEmails, password, requireEmail, and allowedDomains. Changing to private/allowlist silently clears password and email gates.
Registering without a key
If you don't have an API key yet, the prismism_register tool can create an account:
"Register me on Prismism with my email"It returns the API key once — the agent will help you save it to your config.
Environment Variables
Variable | Required | Default | Description |
| For most tools | — | Your Prismism API key |
| No |
| API base URL |
Response Format
All tools return a consistent JSON envelope:
{
"ok": true,
"data": { ... },
"_hints": ["Actionable guidance for the agent"]
}On error:
{
"ok": false,
"error": { "code": "STORAGE_LIMIT", "message": "..." },
"_hints": ["Upgrade at https://prismism.dev/settings/billing"]
