Cohort brief
Auto-generatedThe 27 providers in the APIs.io catalog working in Visualization, 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 | 37.6 | 19.8 | +17.8 | 27 |
| Developer Ergonomics | 37.9 | 23.3 | +14.6 | 27 |
| Access Clarity | 34.4 | 26.3 | +8.1 | 27 |
| Operational Transparency | 19.3 | 13.9 | +5.4 | 27 |
| Discoverability | 63.2 | 61 | +2.2 | 27 |
| Contract Governance | 7.4 | 6.3 | +1.1 | 27 |
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) | 19% | 10% | +9 |
| MCP server (first-party) | 7% | 9% | -2 |

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.
