  Agragene is an agricultural biotechnology company using CRISPR-based genome engineering
  to build Precision-Guided Sterile Insect Technology (pgSIT), a modern evolution of the
  sterile insect technique that breeds insect lines producing only sterile males. Released
  into a field, those males mate with wild female crop pests and produce no viable
  offspring, giving growers season-long local pest suppression without chemical pesticides
  or irradiation. Founded in San Diego in 2017 and now headquartered in St. Louis,
  Missouri, the company's first product, KNOCKOUT-SWD, targets Spotted Wing Drosophila —
  a pest behind more than $500M in annual US berry losses — with a limited launch stated
  for 2027. Agragene has no developer program and publishes no API product; its only
  machine-readable surface is an anonymous Wix site MCP endpoint plus a company-authored
  llms.txt.

    An anonymous remote Model Context Protocol endpoint served on Agragene's own host and
    advertised in the company's llms.txt. Nine tools let an agent read business details,
    search site content, mint a visitor session token, and browse Wix API documentation.
    The server is the stock Wix Site MCP implementation — platform-authored, enabled by
    Agragene — and is the only callable API surface the company publishes.
