description: >-
  Elemental Machines is a Cambridge, Massachusetts LabOps connectivity company that instruments
  laboratories and manufacturing floors with IoT sensors and a vendor-agnostic cloud platform for
  environmental monitoring, cold-storage and freezer health, equipment utilization, alerting,
  calibration and compliance reporting across life sciences R&D, biomanufacturing, academia and
  government facilities. The platform ingests sensor and third-party equipment data at 15-second
  resolution and exposes it through a public REST API at api.elementalmachines.io covering machines,
  machine samples and sample statistics, utilization (aggregated, hourly and status), alert logs,
  alert rules, users, user activities, customer groups, release notes and a server status check,
  authenticated with OAuth 2.0 access tokens. The same data is pushed into ELN/LIMS/SDMS, QMS, MES,
  BMS and CMMS systems and data warehouses through the company's data-integration services. The
  company is ISO 9001:2015 certified, operates calibration to ISO 17025, and positions the platform
  as a 21 CFR Part 11 / ALCOA+ compliant recording system for GxP-regulated laboratories.

  description: >-
    Public REST API for the Elemental Machines LabOps platform. Read machines (sensor-connected
    assets), their time-series samples and computed sample statistics, aggregated/hourly/status
    utilization rollups for a customer group, alert logs and alert rules, users, user activities and
    customer groups, plus dated platform release notes and an unauthenticated server status check.
    Authentication is OAuth 2.0 Resource Owner Password Credentials against /oauth/token; the
    resulting token is passed as an access_token query parameter on every call. The provider
    publishes a Swagger 1.2 contract and a Swagger UI console at api.elementalmachines.io.

- name: Elemental Machines Website MCP Server
  description: >-
    A remote Model Context Protocol server served from the elementalmachines.com WordPress host via
    the WordPress MCP Adapter, advertised by /.well-known/oauth-protected-resource and
    /.well-known/oauth-authorization-server. It is a website/content MCP surface, NOT an interface to
    the LabOps API at api.elementalmachines.io. tools/list returns HTTP 401 with a Bearer
    WWW-Authenticate challenge, so the tool schemas require authenticated introspection.
