Prism docs
Use Prism as the research system behind your AI tools.
Browse practical workflows for Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, and other MCP clients, then use the reference guides when you need setup, permissions, token safety, or prompt guidance.
Product boundaries
MCP access is available on paid Standard and Pro plans.
AI clients receive scoped, audited access to Prism research.
Draft-writing tools require explicit write scopes and the server-side write-tools flag.
Publishing, scheduling, deleting, and subscriber emails stay inside Prism.
Use-case gallery
Start from the workflow you want.
These guides show how to ask an external AI client to use Prism before it answers, drafts, maps, or creates durable research artifacts.
Ask Claude about your research library
Connect Claude to Prism MCP so the model can retrieve your folders, files, thesis notes, and recent research activity before answering.
Draft a source-backed article
Use Prism MCP to gather source material, create or revise Writing Studio drafts, and keep publishing decisions inside Prism.
Create a visualization artifact
Let an AI client generate a bounded Prism artifact, validate the payload, and save it into a library folder or article draft.
Review a thesis with an AI client
Use Prism context to ask an AI client what changed, which claims need review, and where the thesis may be drifting.
Map relationships across files
Ask an AI client to inspect Prism sources, identify relationships, and create explicit graph edges only when authorized.
Reference
Setup, safety, and permissions.
Prism API
Use Prism API keys to call common Prism research endpoints or the generic tool API over JSON.
MCP setup
Prism MCP uses Streamable HTTP at the hosted endpoint and provides scoped, audited access on paid Standard and Pro plans.
MCP permissions and scopes
Use scoped permissions so each AI client can access only the Prism workflows it needs.
Token safety
Manual tokens are shown once and should be stored only in the AI client's secret manager or environment.
Supported MCP tools
Prism MCP focuses on research retrieval, thesis context, artifacts, article drafts, and controlled write workflows.
Prompt and skill guidance
Give external AI clients explicit instructions to use Prism as the source-backed research system of record.
