description: 'Acelab is a Brooklyn, New York software company building Material Hub,
  an AI-assisted material intelligence platform for the architecture, engineering,
  construction and owner (AECO) market. Founded in 2019 by architecture graduates from
  Harvard and MIT, the platform lets architects, designers, owners and manufacturer
  partners research, compare, specify, document and track building products across a
  database of more than 200,000 items, with SpecPlanner, Smart Docs, schedules,
  sustainability conformance and vendor management on top. Its marquee integration is a
  bi-directional Autodesk Revit add-in that syncs materials, families, keynotes and
  schedules between the model and the Material Hub library; ACC360, Procore, SharePoint
  and "custom API" integrations are sold only on the Enterprise tier. Acelab does not
  publish a public developer program: the production platform API answers Bearer-token
  challenges and its Swagger surface is protected by HTTP Basic auth, while the only
  anonymously reachable machine surface is a documentation-search MCP server on the
  docs host.'

  description: 'The private production API behind the Acelab Material Hub web application
    and Revit add-in. It is not a published developer product: no OpenAPI, no API
    reference and no key-issuance flow is published anywhere on acelabusa.com, and
    "Custom API Integrations" are listed as an Enterprise-tier, sales-gated item on the
    pricing page. The base URL recorded here is the one Acelab''s own Nuxt application
    at app.acelabusa.com calls at runtime; requests to it answer 401 with
    WWW-Authenticate: Bearer, and the ASP.NET Swagger surface at /swagger/v1/swagger.json
    answers 401 with WWW-Authenticate: Basic — the machine-readable contract exists but
    is behind an access control.'

  description: 'A remote, anonymously reachable Model Context Protocol server serving
    search and retrieval over Acelab''s public documentation and webinar library. It is
    provided by the Mintlify documentation platform on Acelab''s own docs host, advertises
    serverInfo.name "Acelab", and exposes three tools (search_acelab,
    query_docs_filesystem_acelab, submit_feedback). RFC 8414 and RFC 9728 discovery
    documents on the same host describe an optional OAuth authorization server with a
    single mcp:search scope; tools/list succeeds without any credential.'
