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.

Five stops to belonging.

You're on the AI floor — home of Immersive Commons, a 300-plus member builder community. Becoming part of it is five stops, in order. The first one is this week.

Come to a night.
Builder nights most weeks — working sessions, not networking mixers. Most rooms are majority first-timers (40 of 64 at a recent one), so arriving cold is the normal way to arrive.

Say hi to one person.
The only stop a screen can't do for you. 61 regulars have come three or more times — ask anyone what they're building. That's the whole ritual. Don't know where to start? The night's hosted by Thomas + Mat Allen + Devinder Sodhi (LLL) — start there.

Sign up free (one Google login), then request the tier that matches how you'll use the floor. A person reviews every request by hand. If you don't hear back, ping the Telegram or email us. A second account won't get reviewed any faster than the first.

Every ring is $0. Operator is invitation only; the other four you request and a person approves.
- Public: Signed in, no affiliation declared yet. Sees the homepage and explicitly-public surfaces.
- Frontier Tower member: Other Frontier Tower floor. Opt into the commits leaderboard, RSVP to cross-floor events, and view the public Immersive Commons surfaces.
- AI floor: Floor 10 AI-floor neighbour. View non-public surfaces and RSVP to AI-floor events. Not in the directory.
- Immersive Commons member: In the directory and RSVP without gates. Member highlight submission is coming; for now email a recap to admin@immersivecommons.com or file it through your agent.
- Operator: Runs Immersive Commons. Approves memberships, edits the spatial layout, manages programs. Not self-requestable.
Use the floor.
WiFi is on the kiosk at /floor10/wifi. Borrow a VR headset, queue a job on the print farm, browse the library. House rule number one: reset your station to zero when you're done.

The five stops are the start.

Behind them is the whole map — 40 things this floor can do, from borrowing a headset to giving your AI agent a membership. Progress is verified against real state, chapter completions post to the kiosk wire, and 100% prints a badge with your name on the floor's own print farm.

When you're ready · bring your agent

This floor is agent-native: members' AI assistants RSVP them to events, submit highlights, and book resources over MCP. Onboarding works like a TV-app login — your agent requests a short code, you approve it at /signup-with-agent, and it never touches your password. The starter command grants three read-only permissions; every token has a one-click revoke at /floor10/agent-console.

Give your agent this command

curl -X POST \
  https://www.immersivecommons.com/api/agent/signup/start \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"scopes":["read:public","membership:read","events:read_upcoming"],"client_name":"my agent"}'
