Meta VR is a VS Code and Cursor extension for Meta Horizon OS and Meta Quest development.
It bundles the metavr CLI, registers it as an MCP server in supported editors, adds metavr to the integrated terminal PATH, shows live Quest device status in the editor, and ships Meta Quest-focused skills for common VR/MR workflows.
The previous hzdb command is preserved as an alias for metavr, so existing scripts and muscle memory keep working.
What You Can Do
- Device status bar — shows connected Quest headset info (model, battery) with one-click device details.
- Device commands — refresh, connect (Wi-Fi), wake, and reboot Quest devices from the command palette.
- App lifecycle commands — install APKs, launch apps, stop apps, and clear app data.
- Log and screenshot tools — fetch filtered device logs and capture screenshots directly from your editor.
- Docs search — search Meta Quest and Horizon OS documentation from command palette actions and chat tools.
- MCP server registration — automatically registers
metavr mcp server for both VS Code Copilot and Cursor at activation.
- Terminal PATH injection —
metavr (with a backward-compatible hzdb alias) is available in all integrated terminal sessions.
- Telemetry consent — prompts once at startup; your choice is stored system-wide by
metavr and applies across all Meta Horizon developer tools on this machine.
- Bundled skills — ships 29 Meta Quest development skills covering Spatial SDK, IWSDK, performance profiling, publishing, and more.
- Cross-editor safe — all non-standard APIs are feature-detected and degrade silently in editors that lack support.
