Connect AI Agents to VR.org

Last updated: October 2026

VR.org runs a free, read-only Model Context Protocol server. Instead of relying on whatever an AI model half-remembers from training, your assistant can query VR.org directly: the live VR, AR, and XR news feed, full-text original articles, the events calendar, curated headset deals, side-by-side headset comparisons, and buyer-guide answers. No API key, no account, no cost.

The hosted endpoint works with every major MCP client:

https://vr.org/mcp

Claude.ai (web, no install)

Open Settings, then Connectors, then Add custom connector, and paste the endpoint URL above. Claude can then search VR news, pull full articles, and compare headsets mid-conversation.

Claude Desktop

One click: download the .mcpb bundle and double-click it. Or add the server to your claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "vr-org": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "vr-org-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

claude mcp add vr-org -- npx -y vr-org-mcp

ChatGPT

In Settings, enable Developer mode under Connectors, choose Add connector, and paste the endpoint URL. The server is read-only, so it is safe to approve for automatic use.

Cursor

Add to .cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "vr-org": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "vr-org-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Everything else

Any MCP client that speaks streamable HTTP can use https://vr.org/mcp directly, and any client that runs local stdio servers can use npx -y vr-org-mcp. The server is published on the official MCP Registry as org.vr/vr-mcp.

What your agent gets

Eleven tools, five browsable resources, and three prompts, all read-only:

• search_vr_news: the live aggregated VR / AR / XR feed, filterable by category and keyword
• get_vr_article: full text of any VR.org original article
• compare_vr_headsets: side-by-side of any two headsets in our catalog
• get_vr_deals: current curated product picks with prices and links
• get_vr_events: the VR / AR / XR industry events calendar
• Plus trending topics, originals index, top games, top apps, source list, and canonical explainers

Privacy and safety

The server is read-only and holds no credentials. It exposes only content that is already public on vr.org. Outputs are sanitized and size-capped. Usage of the hosted endpoint is measured in aggregate: request counts, which tools are called, and the search keywords sent to the news search tool, so we can see what people are looking for. Keywords are tallied without an IP address or anything else that identifies who asked, and are kept for 90 days. Nothing else from a conversation is stored. The npm package runs searches on your own machine and sends no search text to VR.org. Details in the open-source repository and our privacy policy.
