Athletic Brewing

Athletic Brewing Company is a Milford, Connecticut brewer of craft non-alcoholic beer, founded in 2017 by Bill Shufelt and John Walker, selling direct-to-consumer across the United States alongside national retail distribution. Athletic Brewing is not a software company and publishes no developer program, but its Shopify-hosted storefront at athleticbrewing.com exposes a real, anonymous, machine-readable agent commerce surface: a Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP) merchant profile at /.well-known/ucp, a live MCP endpoint at /api/ucp/mcp serving thirteen catalog, cart, checkout and order tools with full JSON Schema, an OpenID Connect discovery document for Shopify customer accounts, and a published /llms.txt and /agents.md that document the agent flow and its buyer-approval rules.

Athletic Brewing is listed with 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Non-Alcoholic Beer, Beverages, Consumer Packaged Goods, and Direct to Consumer.

Athletic Brewing’s developer surface includes documentation, support, engineering blog, authentication, and 18 more developer resources.

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 could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.

The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% 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):

Machine-Readable Contract +18 pts — api_specs includes an OpenAPI document
Agentic Access Contract +10 pts — agentic_access artifact present (x-agentic-access), graded by author
A2A Agent Card +8 pts — a2a/-a2a.yml manifest, graded on conformance.grade against A2A 1.0.0
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
Delegated User Identity +6 pts — a served discovery document listing authorization_code in grant_types_supported (served), else an oauth2 authorizationCode flow or openIdConnect declared in an OpenAPI (documented)

Kin Score — facets with the most composite points still available (weight × headroom):

Access Clarity scores 27.6 — up to +14.5 composite points
Developer Ergonomics scores 30.4 — up to +13.9 composite points

Each check links to what satisfies it. Publish the artifact, or tell us where it already lives, and the score moves on the next scoring run.

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/athletic-brewing/apis.yml: open an issue on github.com/api-evangelist/athletic-brewing to ask a question or point us at an artifact you publish.

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.

Market	Position	Depth	Registered MCP server	Declares compatibility
Food Safety (GFSI-recognised certification)	undeclared	-	-	-

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.

Standards implemented 2

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.
