Blues
Blues (formerly Blues Wireless) is an IoT connectivity platform that provides hardware modules called Notecards and a cloud service called Notehub for routing device data from edge devices to cloud applications. The Notehub REST API enables developers to manage fleets of cellular, satellite, LoRa, and Wi-Fi connected devices across 130+ countries. Developers can use the API to retrieve device events, manage projects and fleets, configure routes to downstream cloud services, and monitor device health. Blues follows a consumption-based pricing model with no subscription fees, charging per ingressed event beyond a free monthly allowance bundled with each Notecard hardware purchase.
Blues publishes 14 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including Alert API, Authorization API, Billing Account API, and 11 more. Tagged areas include IoT, Cellular, Connectivity, Device Management, and Fleet Management.
The Blues catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 1 Spectral governance ruleset.
Blues’ developer surface includes authentication, documentation, engineering blog, changelog, pricing, and 16 more developer resources.

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.
| Market | Position | Depth | Registered MCP server | Declares compatibility |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Space and Satellite (operators, earth observation, ground segment) | undeclared | - | - | - |
| Wireless and Wired Connectivity Certification (Thread, USB-IF, Wi-Fi Alliance) | 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 1
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.
