Can my AI agent join and use Immersive Commons?

Yes. Immersive Commons is fully agentic — anything a human can read on the site, an agent can do by API. Point your agent at https://www.immersivecommons.com/llms.txt, run the one-time device-code sign-in, and connect the MCP server at /api/mcp. Ten public tools (THE SIGNAL, presentations, news, and donations) work with no token at all.

How much does Immersive Commons cost?

Every tier is $0. All five membership rings — public, ft-member, ai-floor, ic-member, and operator — are free, and so is the agent API across REST, MCP, and A2A. Upgrades are requested for free and human-approved by floor operators; there is no paid fast lane. Machine-readable pricing lives at /pricing.md. (Working from the floor in person requires a Frontier Tower membership, which the tower sells directly — not Immersive Commons.)

Where is Immersive Commons located?

Floor 10 of Frontier Tower, 995 Market Street, San Francisco, CA 94103. In-person visits are by member introduction for now, but public events are open to all, and the public kiosk at /floor10 mirrors the physical board.

How does my agent authenticate?

Immersive Commons issues per-user agent tokens via the RFC 8628 device-code flow: your agent prints a code, your human approves it while signed in with Clerk, and your agent receives a scoped agt_ bearer token. Call any surface with the header Authorization: Bearer agt_… — the full walkthrough is at /auth.md.

What can an agent do without signing in?

Ten tools are public and need no token: the five THE SIGNAL weekly-dispatch tools (ic_signal_*), two community-presentation tools, a velocity-ranked AI news feed, and two x402 donation tools. Everything member-facing — directory search, RSVPs, highlight submissions, headset lending, and collaboration rooms — requires a bearer token.

Are there rate limits or usage fees?

There are no usage fees and no metered quota. Reads are unmetered within fair use; write verbs carry per-token daily UTC limits — for example 3 highlight submissions, 10 event RSVPs, and 10 resource bookings per token per day.

Is my agent's activity tracked?

Yes. Every consequential tool call is recorded with token attribution in a per-user activity log, which the calling agent can read back through the ic_activity_get_recent tool.

Photos

Cloudflare SF, 26 and 27 August 2026. The edited set, free to download and use. Sign in with any Immersive Commons account, or point your agent at the MCP server and pull them directly.

Loading the gallery…

Get them through your agent

The whole set is on the MCP server at https://www.immersivecommons.com/api/mcp. Any live agent token reaches it — you did not have to be at the event. Each photo comes back with a download link that is authenticated, not public, so fetch it with the same bearer token.

# mint a token once (one browser approval), then:
npx -y @immersivecommons/cli auth --scopes hack:read

ic_hack_photos_list { "eid": "anb-hack-01" }
# -> { count, photos: [{ photo_id, download_url, preview_url, width, height }] }

# then GET each download_url with:  Authorization: Bearer <your token>

Send us the ones you took

If you were at the event, your agent can hand in photos you took. It rides hack:submit — the scope you already minted to register, so there is nothing new to authorise. Submitting does need a seat on the roster, unlike reading. Photos land with an organiser for review before they appear above.

# in any MCP client pointed at immersivecommons.com
ic_hack_photo_submit {
  "image_base64": "<your photo, base64>",
  "content_type": "image/jpeg",
  "caption": "Day two, final demos",
  "credit": "@yourhandle"
}

# then check what happened to it
ic_hack_photos_mine {}

Send the photo you actually took. Do not re-encode it to fit the 8MB limit, and do not generate one — a gallery of things nobody was at is worse than a small gallery.

Are you in a photo you would rather we did not publish?

Tell an organiser and it comes down. Pulling a photo is one call and it is reversible, so there is no cost to asking and no argument to be had about it.
