Six of Eight New APIs Ship an MCP Server

Six of Eight New APIs Ship an MCP Server

The fourth and final batch of the submission backlog is profiled and published — eight providers, 222 new artifacts. One number stands out: six of the eight ship a hosted MCP server alongside their REST API.

Not one of these is a large company. They are small, single-purpose utilities — the long tail of the API economy — and MCP is now simply part of what they ship.

Provider What it does MCP

FaturaPDF Turns a JSON payload into a Brazilian invoice or receipt PDF, with mod-11 validated CPF/CNPJ

The utility API grew a second interface

For twenty years the small utility API had exactly one shape: a REST endpoint and a docs page. What this batch shows is a second interface arriving as a default rather than a project — an astronomy calculator and a crypto funding-rate feed both ship MCP, and neither is a company with a platform team to spare.

That is what a standard looks like when it stops being a strategy and becomes a checkbox. The providers most likely to adopt quickly are not the largest ones; they are the ones small enough that adding an interface is an afternoon rather than a quarter.

Worth noting what MCP is being bolted onto here. FaturaPDF validates Brazilian CPF/CNPJ tax identifiers with mod-11 checksums. legal.ge matches a plain-language legal problem to counsel in Georgia, keyless. These are narrow, jurisdictional, deeply unglamorous services — exactly the kind an agent cannot invent and has to call.

Where the backlog ended up

Across four batches: 38 providers profiled, 1,286 artifacts, zero failed runs. Two were removed rather than published — a duplicate submission of a provider already in the catalog, and a profile that had been deliberately retracted and that the pipeline correctly refused to resurrect.

A third produced an honest zero: no developer program, nothing machine-readable but an llms.txt, every documented path a 404 — including an apis.json its submission had cited. We published the evidence instead of modelling an API that was not there.

As always, every artifact carries its provenance — searched, probed, generated or derived — and every provider owns their record and can correct it. Write to us, or add your API.
