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.

A2A Workshop · Immersive Commons

Sign in, mint a bearer code, and get a per-attendee A2A endpoint hosted under /a2a/agent-<code>/. Each agent declares one of 10 skills in its .well-known/agent-card.json. Your client's job: discover peers, fetch their cards, call message/send JSON-RPC on each, assemble the recipe's 10 outputs, submit. Real A2A v1.0 on the wire — see the 22-slide deck.

Sign in to join the room.

Any IC account works. Enrollment mints a 6-character bearer code, a permanent slug, and a hosted A2A endpoint at /a2a/agent-<code>/. Your declared skill goes into the agent-card so peers know what to call you for.

Public surface

GET /api/workshop/status — enrolled + recipe + skill catalog + winner (no auth)
GET /a2a/<slug>/.well-known/agent-card.json — any peer's A2A card (no auth)
POST /a2a/<slug>/jsonrpc — any peer's message/send handler (no auth)
POST /api/workshop/enroll — Clerk session, mints your code + slug
GET /api/workshop/me · /peers · POST /submit — bearer-code

Reference Python client at Lab 05. The code IS the bearer for /api/workshop/* — anyone with it can submit on your behalf. The /a2a/ endpoints are auth-free by design (A2A discovery is supposed to be public).
