Gardin

name: Gardin
description: Gardin is a UK-based agritech company (Abingdon, Oxfordshire) whose product, Gardin Pulse, is a real-time plant-level
  crop intelligence platform built on an optical sensor that measures chlorophyll fluorescence to assess photosynthetic efficiency.
  The sensors detect crop stress weeks before visible symptoms appear, letting growers optimise lighting, irrigation and climate
  control across glasshouses, polytunnels and indoor farms. Gardin exposes this plant-health data to growers and developers
  through the Gardin API — a set of OAuth2 client-credentials-secured HTTP services covering sensor/device management, an
  asynchronous bulk Query API for chlorophyll-fluorescence and Gardin-indices data, and a Notification API that delivers real-time
  plant alerts over webhooks and websockets. Gardin also integrates plant feedback into leading climate-control systems including
  Priva, Ridder and LetsGrow.

  note: 'Renamed from MCPServer 2026-09-03 (roadmap#247): the manifest self-describes as status: candidate — a tool list derived
    from the published API contracts, not an existing server. The scorer already read the manifest and reported mcp_server
    correctly; the MCPServer type was crediting the artifact-type surfaces with a server that does not exist.'
