Cohort brief
Auto-generatedThe 30 providers in the APIs.io catalog working in Documentation, scored on the Kin Score. Every figure below is computed from the catalog — nothing here is written.
| Facet | This cohort | Catalog | Difference | Scored |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Contract Quality | 57.8 | 19.8 | +38 | 30 |
| Access Clarity | 55.8 | 26.3 | +29.5 | 30 |
| Developer Ergonomics | 52 | 23.3 | +28.7 | 30 |
| Operational Transparency | 36 | 13.9 | +22.1 | 30 |
| Discoverability | 69.1 | 61 | +8.1 | 30 |
| Contract Governance | 14.3 | 6.3 | +8 | 30 |
A facet is averaged over the members that carry it, not over the whole cohort — the “Scored” column is that count. Averaging an absent facet as zero would score our own coverage gaps as the providers’ posture.
| Artifact | This cohort | Catalog | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP server (any) | 30% | 10% | +20 |
| MCP server (first-party) | 23% | 9% | +14 |
| Agent Skills | 0% | 0% | 0 |
| OAuth scopes | 27% | 11% | +16 |
| Security | 100% | 97% | +3 |
| Arazzo workflows | 17% | 2% | +15 |
| Governance rules | 50% | 14% | +36 |
mcp_pct counts any mcp/ artifact including ones API Evangelist derived from the provider OpenAPI; mcp_first_party_pct counts only servers the provider publishes. Prefer the latter.
