Welcome to the Elemm Docs
Elemm revolutionizes how autonomous AI agents interface with APIs. Instead of forcing you to register static, bloated tool schemas at startup, Elemm utilizes a dynamic, decoupled Landmark Manifest — saving up to 90% of prompt tokens.
Your agents can dynamically probe public Web-APIs directly via their URLs or connect to safely pre-configured local and remote MCP servers on the fly — loading schemas lazily and strictly when needed.
Documentation
Building Landmark Servers→
Expose Python functions as semantic landmarks using simple decorators.
Exposing Landmark Servers→
Bind landmark servers to FastAPI, STDIO, or SSE interfaces.
SmartRepair & Error Codes→
Structured error responses with repair instructions — so agents can self-correct.
Pydantic & Smart Unboxing→
Flatten agent parameters and auto-instantiate Pydantic models.
Declarative YAML Configuration→
Decouple metadata from Python code using YAML declarations.
Multi-Protocol Support→
Seamless bridging between OpenAPI, GraphQL, and native Elemm APIs.
Security (Guardian)→
Multi-layered security engine with zero-trust, deep argument inspection, and data loss prevention.
Vault — Authentication→
Secure management and automatic injection of API keys, tokens, and credentials.
Production & VPS Security→
Expose and secure your Elemm Gateway on a public cloud server.
CLI Reference→
Configuration flags, transport modes, and bridge tunneling.
