  findings:
  - No `mcp` namespace is registered in the live WordPress route index at https://ascendelements.com/wp-json/
    (21 namespaces, none of them an MCP adapter).
  - 'No RFC 9728 protected-resource metadata: /.well-known/oauth-protected-resource returns the host''s
    503 bot-protection HTML shell, not JSON.'
  - The WordPress Abilities API IS installed (wp-abilities/v1, with /abilities, /abilities/{name}, /abilities/{name}/run
    and /categories routes). That is the substrate a WordPress MCP adapter exposes as tools, so this site
    is one plugin away from a real MCP server. It is currently 401 rest_forbidden anonymously, so the
    ability list could not be enumerated.
  - No hosted MCP server for Ascend Elements exists in the public MCP registries or on npm.

x-notes: CANDIDATE, NOT PUBLISHED. Ascend Elements does not operate an MCP server. The tools above are
  a derived proposal, scoped deliberately to the thirteen read operations that are genuinely readable
  anonymously — the write half of the REST surface is excluded because it is not available without an
  administrator credential. Every source_operation is a real operationId present verbatim in the derived
  OpenAPI.
