  aceRNA Technologies Co., Ltd. is a Japanese biotechnology venture founded in April 2018 to
  commercialize the RNA design technology ("RNA Switch") developed in the synthetic RNA biology
  laboratory of Prof. Hirohide Saito at Kyoto University. An RNA Switch is embedded into a
  messenger RNA so that expression of the therapeutic transgene is gated by the activity of a
  specific microRNA inside the cell, letting a treatment act only on the cell type and cell state
  that is diseased. The company applies the platform across mRNA medicines, cell therapy and gene
  therapy, co-develops with partners (an agreement with Nitto Denko was announced in December
  2021), and closed a JPY 960M Series B in May 2024 led by DCI Partners. It is headquartered at
  the University of Tokyo Entrepreneur Plaza. aceRNA runs no developer programme and publishes no
  API reference, OpenAPI or SDK; the only machine-readable surfaces on its domain are the
  Wix-platform llms.txt and Site MCP endpoint, both captured here.

  description: >-
    A live, anonymously reachable Model Context Protocol endpoint served from aceRNA Technologies'
    own host and advertised in the site's llms.txt. It is provided by the Wix platform, not built
    by aceRNA — it exposes generic Wix site tools (business details, in-site search, site API doc
    search, anonymous visitor-token issuance and a Wix REST API call/execute bridge) over the
    public content of www.acernatec.com. A tools/list call returns 9 tools with real JSON Schema
    inputs. There is no aceRNA-authored API behind it.

  detail: >-
    aceRNA Technologies runs no developer programme and publishes no OpenAPI, GraphQL SDL, SDK or
    webhook surface, but its Wix-hosted site does serve a real llms.txt and a live, anonymously
    callable Site MCP endpoint at /_api/mcp that returns 9 tools with JSON Schema inputs — both
    captured verbatim here.
