Bombas

Bombas is a New York City based direct-to-consumer comfort apparel brand founded in 2013 by David Heath and Randy Goldberg, selling socks, underwear, t-shirts and slippers on a one-purchased-equals-one-donated model that has powered more than 200 million donated items through a network of over 4,000 giving partners serving people experiencing homelessness. The company is privately held, was funded on Shark Tank in 2014, and runs its ecommerce on Shopify Plus. Bombas does not publish a first-party developer program or REST API, but its storefront at shop.bombas.com exposes a real agent-facing commerce surface: a published llms.txt / agents.md, a Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP) merchant profile at /.well-known/ucp, and a live MCP endpoint at /api/ucp/mcp implementing the UCP Shopping Service, alongside OAuth 2.0 / OpenID Connect discovery for Shopify customer accounts.

Bombas is listed with 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Retail, E-Commerce, Apparel, and Direct to Consumer.

Bombas’ developer surface includes documentation, support, signup flow, and 11 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/.

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
Fashion & Apparel (apparel, footwear, textiles)	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 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.

Model Context Protocol (MCP)

measured — observed by APIs.io (platform)

Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP)

tagged — the provider's own APIs.json carries the standard as a tag; implementation not verified

OAuth 2.0 Protected Resource Metadata

measured — observed by APIs.io (verified)
