# Argo CD **Canonical:** https://apis.io/providers/argocd/ **Website:** https://argo-cd.readthedocs.io/ **APIs profiled:** 27 Argo CD is a declarative GitOps continuous-delivery tool for Kubernetes, part of the CNCF Graduated Argo project. The argocd-server component exposes a gRPC and REST API used by the Web UI, the argocd CLI, and CI/CD systems. APIs cover applications, projects, clusters, repositories, accounts, certificates, GPG keys, sessions, settings, and notifications. Argo CD is also a Kubernetes operator that defines first-class CRDs (Application, ApplicationSet, AppProject) — those CRDs are themselves a Kubernetes-native API. Argo CD is open-source under the Apache 2.0 license; commercial offerings are provided by third parties (notably Akuity, founded by the Argo project's creators) rather than the Argo CD project itself. ## Kin Score — 28.6 / 100 (thin) Scored 2026-08-20 under rubric 0.12.0.
