Configuration
| Variable | Required | Secret | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| PRISM_WORKSPACE | — | — | Optional override when the MCP client starts from a directory outside the project. |
| CURSOR_API_KEY | — | yes | Optional override to spawn local Cursor SDK workers. Prefer prism init / first start_job (Cursor.auth.login). Do not put this in mcp.json for normal use. |
