Smart Reader MCP

Local
@sylphxaiTypeScriptMITUpdated 1mo ago

Sniff format and delegate to Sylphx Reader siblings for unified media read.

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.

Family lawSylphxAI/skillsapply-instrument-family + docs/knowledge/instruments/INSTRUMENT-FAMILY-LAW.md

Why retired

  1. Multi-server MCP hosts already compose independent servers.
  2. A router product doubles process tax and couples three release trains.
  3. 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.
