AllSource Prime with Claude Code

Wire Prime into Claude Code with one `claude mcp add` command — no config file to edit.

Connect Claude Code to hosted Prime over HTTPS with nothing to install, or run the local allsource-prime binary over stdio. The same store serves every MCP client you wire it into — one source of truth, everywhere your agents work.

Hosted MCP URL — nothing to install (recommended)

Mint an API key, then point Claude Code at the hosted endpoint. Memory lives in your AllSource tenant and shows up live in the dashboard.

Mint your API key

We don't show secrets twice — paste it into the config below.

Get API key

Then paste this, swapping <YOUR_API_KEY> for your key:

Paste into: Terminal — hosted, nothing to install

claude mcp add --transport http prime https://api.all-source.xyz/api/v1/prime/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_API_KEY>"

Prefer a local binary? The steps below run Prime on your machine instead.

1. Install the binary

From crates.io. Builds standalone — no AllSource server required, just a Rust toolchain.

cargo install allsource-prime

2. Hosted memory via the local binary

Mint an API key, then run Prime with --sync-to. Your memory persists to your AllSource tenant and shows up live in the dashboard — and the same key works from any other client you connect.

Mint your API key

One click mints a Prime-scoped key. We don't show secrets twice — paste it into the config below.

Get API key

Then paste this, swapping <YOUR_API_KEY> for the key you just minted:

Paste into: Terminal — run from your project root

claude mcp add prime allsource-prime \
  --data-dir ~/.prime/memory \
  --auto-inject \
  --sync-to https://api.all-source.xyz \
  --api-key <YOUR_API_KEY>

3. Local-only alternative (no account)

Skip the account entirely. Drop the --sync-to / --api-key flags and memory stays on disk at ~/.prime/memory. Nothing leaves your machine.

Paste into: Terminal — local-only, no account

claude mcp add prime allsource-prime \
  --data-dir ~/.prime/memory \
  --auto-inject

Or let the agent do it

Claude Code can edit its own config. Paste this prompt and let it wire Prime up:

Install the AllSource Prime MCP server for me. Run `cargo install allsource-prime`, then `claude mcp add prime allsource-prime --data-dir ~/.prime/memory --auto-inject`. Confirm it registered with `claude mcp list`.

Notes

Run `claude mcp list` to confirm the `prime` server registered.
The flags after `allsource-prime` are passed through to the binary, not to `claude`.

After install

Restart Claude Code so it picks up the new MCP server.
Verify by asking it: "List the MCP tools you have available." You should see prime_add_node, prime_recall, and friends.
On the hosted path, watch nodes appear live at /dashboard/memory.
