AllSource Prime with Claude Code

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

Prime runs as a local allsource-prime binary over stdio in Claude Code. The same store serves every MCP client you wire it into — one source of truth, everywhere your agents work.

1. Install the binary

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

cargo install allsource-prime

2. Hosted memory (recommended)

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.
