Kin Score
Markets this provider is in provisional
The Kin Score Market layer reads a provider inside its market: its position, and how deep its integrations go. Depth is only comparable within a position. Provisional and unweighted: not part of the Kin Score or agent readiness.

| Network Edge (CDN, networking, peering, edge compute) | builds-on | 42.9 | - | - |
| APIs.guru OpenAPI Directory (API definition directory) | builds-on | 42.9 | - | - |
| Bubble Plugin Marketplace (official vendor plugins on Bubble) | builds-on | 42.9 | - | - |
Registered MCP server and declares compatibility are report only — not weighted. Undeclared means we found nothing we can read, so there is no number: we never infer integrations.
