EndoQuest Robotics
EndoQuest Robotics is a Houston, Texas medical device company — founded in 2017 and operating as ColubrisMX until its June 2022 rebrand — developing what it calls the world's first flexible endoluminal robotic surgical system. Its Endoluminal Surgical (ELS) System pairs an ergonomic physician console (high-definition monitor, hand controllers, foot pedals) with a mobile patient cart and positioning arm, driving two 6mm flexible robotic instruments and a 3.7mm high-definition robotic camera through the EndoDrive, with up to seven degrees of freedom and additional channels for insufflation, suction, irrigation and third-party accessories. The design targets scar-free minimally invasive procedures inside the gastrointestinal tract — including appendectomy and cholecystectomy — performed through natural orifices or a single transumbilical incision. The company was accepted into the FDA's Safer Technologies Program in December 2023, received an investigational device exemption in December 2024, and began first colorectal cases in its PARADIGM pivotal multicenter study in May 2025. The system is not FDA-cleared and is not for commercial sale. EndoQuest sells surgical robotics hardware, not software: it publishes no API, developer portal, SDK, or machine-readable contract of any kind, and its nine-page marketing site carries no developer surface.
Index entry only — little beyond a description and a link, and nothing machine-readable enough for an agent to act on without a human reading the site first.
API Evangelist profiles EndoQuest Robotics the way a machine reads it — 1 machine-readable artifact, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.
Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — EndoQuest Robotics scores 10.8/100 (minimal), with a separate agent-readiness read of 0/100 (human only). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.
Why this profile is thin
EndoQuest Robotics manufactures a pre-commercial surgical robot — console, patient cart and 6mm flexible instruments — whose control software is embedded in the device and never exposed, and endoquestrobotics.com is a nine-page marketing site whose own sitemap.xml lists only home, contact, news, product, media, careers, patents, terms and privacy, with no /developers, no /api, no GitHub organization, and no api./docs./ developer. subdomain resolving in DNS.
This is an honest zero, not a gap in our research. EndoQuest Robotics does not appear to expose an API, so there is nothing here for us to index and nothing for them to fix.

Kin Score
This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile EndoQuest Robotics
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for EndoQuest Robotics. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.
Security Posture 1
Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.

This is an independent, third-party profile of EndoQuest Robotics, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.
The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.
Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
