Adapter

Adapter is a cognition API — a persistent memory and knowledge-graph layer that sits alongside AI models so understanding is already available when agents need answers. Founded by Adam Ghetti and David Bader, Adapter continuously reads and connects a user's data (calendar, contacts, messages, email, conversations) into a living knowledge graph, grounding every response in cited sources and surfacing hidden connections across sources rather than starting each query from scratch. The Adapter API exposes multi-model conversation/completion endpoints, knowledge-graph and memory queries, life-radar events, reminders, multi-channel messaging, reranking, and an OAuth 2.0 + hosted MCP surface (mcp:read) for agent access. Tagline: "Give your model a mind."

Adapter publishes 26 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including Assets API, Auth API, and 24 more. Tagged areas include Company, Artificial Intelligence, Cognition, Knowledge Graph, and Memory.

The Adapter catalog on APIs.io includes 1 Spectral governance ruleset.

Adapter’s developer surface includes authentication, engineering blog, signup flow, support, and 18 more developer resources.

scored 2026-11-06 · rubric v0.27.0
Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Horizontal (data, software, accessibility, platform) regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.
The six quality facets above are damped to 75 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 25. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 75% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Agent readiness — checks not met, largest first (exact, from this profile):
  • MCP Server +12 pts — deployment.mode + probe verdict on the mcp/ manifest, not the pointer; an unprobed slug falls back to authorship
  • Idempotency +9 pts — OpenAPI mutating operations declare an idempotency key — a header, a request-body property, or a named de-duplication token whose own description says so (verified); else common[].type matches /idempoten/i (documented)
  • A2A Agent Card +8 pts — a2a/-a2a.yml manifest, graded on conformance.grade against A2A 1.0.0
  • Rate-Limit Signaling +7 pts — OpenAPI responses document X-RateLimit-* / RateLimit headers (verified), else a rate_limits artifact or RateLimits link (documented)
  • Request/Response Examples +7 pts — share of operations carrying request/response examples; else an Examples / Code Samples link
  • Registration Without a Human +6 pts — a `registration_endpoint` in the served RFC 8414 / OIDC discovery document

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from the provider profile at artifacts.apis.io/adapter/apis.yml: open an issue on github.com/api-evangelist/adapter to ask a question or point us at an artifact you publish.

Standards implemented 3

Standards this provider implements or carries. De facto ones are profiled and measured by the API Commons; formal ones come from the standards directory and are linked by the provider's own tags. The evidence column says how each claim was established — not that it was made.

tagged — the provider's own APIs.json carries the standard as a tag; implementation not verified
measured — observed by APIs.io (published)
