AeroFarms

AeroFarms is an indoor vertical farming company founded in 2004 and headquartered in Newark, New Jersey, where it grows leafy greens and nutrient-dense microgreens — micro broccoli, micro arugula, micro wasabi mustard and the FlavorSpectrum blends — aeroponically, without sun or soil, under LED light recipes driven by its proprietary agSTACK PLC/SCADA control stack. It sells through US grocery retail rather than through software, is a Certified B Corporation, and was acquired by an affiliate of Palm Ventures in June 2026. AeroFarms is a produce grower, not a software vendor: no developer portal, no API documentation, no SDKs, no API product. The machine-readable surface profiled here is the anonymous, read-only WordPress and WooCommerce REST API behind www.aerofarms.com, a live OAuth-protected MCP server at /wp-json/mcp/mcp-oauth-server, and a published llms.txt.

AeroFarms publishes 2 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Agriculture, Vertical Farming, Indoor Farming, and AgTech.

AeroFarms’ developer surface includes engineering blog, support, authentication, and 18 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Horizontal (data, software, accessibility, platform) regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics does not apply to this provider. The published contracts declare no write operations, and a read-only API cannot create-or-update. The facet is excluded from this provider's denominator entirely — not scored zero. A reference or data API is not deficient for being unable to upsert.

The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Agent readiness — checks not met, largest first (exact, from this profile):

Machine-Readable Contract +18 pts — api_specs includes an OpenAPI document
Agentic Access Contract +10 pts — agentic_access artifact present (x-agentic-access), graded by author
Idempotency +9 pts — OpenAPI mutating operations declare an idempotency key — a header, a request-body property, or a named de-duplication token whose own description says so (verified); else common[].type matches /idempoten/i (documented)
A2A Agent Card +8 pts — a2a/-a2a.yml manifest, graded on conformance.grade against A2A 1.0.0
Request/Response Examples +7 pts — share of operations carrying request/response examples; else an Examples / Code Samples link
Registration Without a Human +6 pts — a `registration_endpoint` in the served RFC 8414 / OIDC discovery document

6 more unmet checks in the Agent Readiness table above.

Kin Score — facets with the most composite points still available (weight × headroom):

Contract Quality scores 0.0 — up to +25.0 composite points

Developer Ergonomics scores 25.6 — up to +14.9 composite points

Each check links to what satisfies it. Publish the artifact, or tell us where it already lives, and the score moves on the next scoring run.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it.
