**Your AI agent forgets everything between sessions. Prism fixes that — then teaches it to think.**
<details>
<summary>Cognitive Architecture Deep Dive (v12.0.0)</summary>
Prism v12.0.0 is a true **Cognitive Architecture** inspired by human brain mechanics. Beyond flat vector search, your agent now forms principles from experience, follows causal trains of thought, and possesses the self-awareness to know when it lacks information. **Your agents don't just remember; they learn.** With v12.0.0, the entire cognitive pipeline — including ledger compaction, task routing, semantic search, and **Agent Infrastructure Resilience** — runs **100% on-device** or via secure clinical discovery (PubMed/ERIC), backed by `prism-coder:7b`, a HIPAA-hardened local LLM. No API keys for core features. No data leaves your machine.
</details>
```bash
npx -y prism-mcp-server
```
Works with **Claude Desktop · Claude Code · Cursor · Windsurf · Cline · Gemini · Antigravity** — **any MCP client.**

## 🛡️ <a name="data-privacy-hipaa"></a>Data Privacy & HIPAA
Prism is built for high-compliance environments.
- **Local-First Architecture:** By default, all memory, embeddings, and cognitive processing happen on your device. No clinical data or PHI leaves your infrastructure.
- **Fail-Closed Pipelines:** Security gates halt execution if PII or adversarial patterns are detected.
- **Encryption at Rest:** All local storage is encrypted using industry-standard AES-256.

## <a name="environment-variables"></a>Environment Variables
> **🚦 TL;DR — Zero keys = zero problem.** Core session memory, keyword search, semantic search (local embeddings), time travel, and the full dashboard work 100% offline. Cloud keys are optional power-ups.
```bash
# Option A: Fully offline (no API keys needed)
# Set embedding_provider=local in the Mind Palace dashboard
# Option B: Cloud-powered (optional power-ups)
GOOGLE_API_KEY=... # Unlocks: Gemini embeddings, Morning Briefings, auto-compaction
BRAVE_API_KEY=... # Unlocks: Web Scholar research + Brave Answers
FIRECRAWL_API_KEY=... # Unlocks: Web Scholar deep scraping
