Seyond

Seyond (formerly Innovusion) is a Sunnyvale, California LiDAR maker with R&D and business operations in Germany and China. It designs and mass-produces image-grade LiDAR sensors — Falcon K, Robin W, Robin E1X and Hummingbird D1 — plus perception software and SIMPL, the Seyond ITS Management Platform used by cities, DOTs and tolling agencies for intersection and highway traffic detection. Its public developer surface is not a web API: it is a first-party C/C++ client SDK (inno-lidar-sdk) and a ROS/ROS2 driver published on GitHub that speak a proprietary TCP/UDP command-and-pointcloud protocol directly to the sensor. No OpenAPI, GraphQL, gRPC or SOAP contract is published; api.seyond.com is live but answers 404 on every discovery path. The corporate site does serve a live, OAuth-gated MCP server.

Seyond publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, LiDAR, Sensors, Autonomous Driving, and Intelligent Transportation.

Seyond’s developer surface includes documentation, getting-started guide, support, engineering blog, CLI, changelog, authentication, and 22 more developer resources.

    It is provided by the WordPress MCP adapter running on seyond.com and exposes site/content abilities rather than LiDAR
    or SIMPL functionality. Discovery metadata is anonymous (RFC 8414 authorization-server metadata and RFC 9728 protected-resource
    metadata both return 200); tools/list and initialize both return HTTP 401 mcp_unauthorized, so the tool set and its input
    schemas require an authenticated introspection we did not perform.
