Vr Org MCP

What evanatpizzarobot/vr-org-mcp MCP server does

The evanatpizzarobot/vr-org-mcp MCP server connects MCP-compatible clients to VR.org's public content API. Its scope is read-only VR, AR, and XR information: current aggregated headlines, VR.org's own articles, upcoming industry events, product deals, headset comparisons, ranked games, ranked apps, source listings, and short answers to common VR questions.

The server exposes eleven tools. News discovery includes keyword and category filtering, trending-topic lookup, source counts, and access to VR.org's original editorial. Article retrieval accepts a slug and returns metadata, the canonical URL, and the article's HTML body. Other tools cover events, curated product picks with prices and retailer links, headset comparisons, top games, top apps, and canonical explanatory answers.

Five browsable resources provide latest news, recent originals, upcoming events, guide answers, and article content by slug. Three prompts support headset recommendations based on budget and use case, weekly VR roundups, and grounded explanations of VR topics.

How it works

Each tool builds a request to VR.org's public JSON API under https://vr.org/api/* and returns an agent-oriented response. The API base URL is fixed in the source, so requests are limited to VR.org. The server does not store secrets, perform writes, request sampling, or move money.

Responses are sanitized by removing control characters and zero-width or direction-override characters. Serialized output is capped at 50 KB, and free-text inputs have schema-level length limits. Errors use structured, non-echoing responses; error text is also scrubbed, capped, and checked for credential-shaped substrings. Feed items identify whether content comes from VR.org editorial or a third-party feed, and responses containing relayed text include a content notice.

Setup and configuration

For local use, run the package through npx:

npx -y vr-org-mcp

An MCP client can launch that command over stdio. Claude Desktop and Cursor configurations use npx with -y and vr-org-mcp as the package argument. The README also documents Claude Code and a downloadable MCPB package for Claude Desktop.

A hosted alternative is available at https://vr.org/mcp through MCP's streamable-HTTP transport. This avoids a local package installation and is intended for clients that support remote MCP connections. Setup guidance for clients is provided at https://vr.org/connect.

The only documented environment variable is VR_ORG_UA_SUFFIX, an optional suffix added to the outbound User-Agent. No API key or other credential is required. The API base URL cannot be changed through configuration.

Tools and capabilities

The evanatpizzarobot/vr-org-mcp MCP server supports tasks such as:

• Searching current VR, AR, and XR headlines by keyword or category.
• Finding trending topics and seeing which sources contribute to the feed.
• Listing VR.org originals and loading a complete article by slug.
• Browsing upcoming conferences, expos, launches, and other industry events.
• Reviewing curated headset deals, prices, badges, and retailer links.
• Comparing two headsets when only partial names are supplied.
• Retrieving current top-game and top-app rankings.
• Getting a short canonical answer and related pillar-page link for a common question.

The accompanying prompts can turn these data sources into a headset recommendation, a weekly roundup, or a topic explanation. The resources are useful when a client wants to attach recurring VR.org content directly as context instead of invoking a tool.

Limitations and notes

Content is limited to what VR.org exposes through its public API and feed. The server is read-only and cannot publish, edit, purchase, or otherwise mutate data. Third-party headlines and snippets are relayed from outside publishers, so clients should treat that text as data rather than instructions; the server marks its provenance and includes a notice when applicable.

Output limits may truncate or constrain unusually large responses, while input length limits apply to free-text parameters. Because the API endpoint is fixed to VR.org, this package is not a general-purpose news search server or a connector for arbitrary VR websites. Its usefulness depends on the availability and freshness of VR.org's feeds, editorial content, deals, rankings, and event data.
