metavr-cli — independently scanned and version-tracked by SaferSkills.
SaferSkills independently audited metavr-cli (Agent Skill) and scored it 82/100 (green). The audit ran 55 deterministic rules across Security, Supply Chain, Maintenance, Transparency, and Community; it found 2 high-severity and 0 lower-severity findings. The full rule-by-rule trace and per-finding evidence are below. Free, methodology-open.

metavr (Meta VR CLI) is a CLI for Meta Quest and Horizon OS development. It wraps ADB and Meta developer APIs into higher-level commands for device management, app lifecycle, documentation lookup, screenshots, audio control, test-device preparation, MCP integration, and Perfetto performance analysis.
Keep this SKILL.md as the routing layer. For exact flags and complete command syntax, use the generated full CLI reference in docs/hzdb.md or run:
npx -y metavr --markdown-helpRequires Node.js 20 or newer.
Invoke via npx:
npx -y metavr --help
npx -y metavr --versionnpx is the recommended path: it always pulls the latest published version, so you don't end up running an outdated global install. Examples in the rest of the documentation use the bare metavr command for brevity — substitute npx -y metavr for any of them.
Alternatively, install metavr globally using:
npm install -g metavrIf you install globally, update regularly with npm update -g metavr. Use npx -y metavr when you want the latest published version without depending on a global install.
Before using on-device commands:
Verify the connection:
metavr device listIf no devices appear: try a different USB cable (data-capable, not charge-only), accept the USB debugging prompt on the headset, or connect wirelessly with metavr device connect <ip>.
Use progressive disclosure:
docs/hzdb.md or metavr --markdown-help for exact flags, arguments, andless common subcommands.
Current top-level command groups:
| Group | Use for |
|---|---|
adb / shell | Low-level ADB-compatible commands and direct device shell access |
app | Install, list, launch, stop, clear, inspect, and detect the foreground app |
asset | Search Meta's 3D asset library |
audio | Read volume, set volume, mute, and unmute device audio |
capture | Capture screenshots from a connected headset |
config | Read, write, reset, and list metavr configuration |
device | List/connect devices, wait for ADB state, inspect controllers, configure test devices, run health checks, and manage proximity |
docs | Search/fetch Meta Quest docs and API reference entries |
files | List, pull, push, remove, and create directories on the device |
log | View recent device logs; use adb logcat for advanced filters and streaming |
mcp | Start or install the metavr MCP server for AI tools |
perf | Capture, open, analyze, query, compare, and manage Perfetto traces |
metavr includes a built-in MCP (Model Context Protocol) server with ~40 tools that enable AI agents to interact with Quest devices programmatically.
Add this command to any MCP configuration to use the MCP server:
metavr mcp serverThe server exposes tools for device management, app lifecycle, performance trace analysis, documentation search, file operations, and 3D asset search.
Install MCP configuration into other AI tools:
metavr mcp install cursor
metavr mcp install claude-desktop
metavr mcp install vscodeFor project-local agent setup, install the MCP config into the current repository:
cd your-project
metavr mcp install projectThis is the best default when a coding agent already has repository access on the host machine and should be able to call metavr tools from that project.
If you are building a Quest-native developer tool or pairing a Quest headset UI with a host-side coding agent, keep the architecture simple:
and metavr tool calls
prompt capture, status, and approval
metavr mcp install project so theintegration is explicit and travels with the repository
# 1. Verify the current docs before coding against an API or workflow
metavr docs search "spatial sdk panel"
metavr docs fetch https://developers.meta.com/horizon/documentation/...
# 2. Build and deploy your app
./gradlew assembleDebug
metavr app install app/build/outputs/apk/debug/app-debug.apk
metavr app launch com.example.app
# 3. Observe on-device behavior
metavr log --tag MyApp
metavr capture screenshot -o latest.png
# 4. Prepare a stable test device when running repeatable tests
metavr device health-check
metavr device configure-testing setup
# ...run tests...
metavr device configure-testing restoremetavr wraps ADB and provides higher-level commands. You do not need to use adb directly for most Quest development tasks. metavr handles device selection, provides structured output, and adds Quest-specific functionality (screenshots via metacam, Perfetto trace analysis, doc search) that raw ADB does not support.
If you need raw shell access to the device, use metavr shell or metavr adb shell.
