KOA Labs

KOA Labs is a one-person "solo + AI" software studio in Mexico City (koalabs.ai) that builds open protocols, registries and directories, and BotMarket (botmarket.bot) is its free, non-profit marketplace and registry for AI agents and MCP servers — 115,065 MCP servers, 3,615 A2A-style agents and 25 agent and payment protocols re-gathered hourly from public catalogs (Glama, mcp.so, Smithery, the Official MCP Registry, Hugging Face, Docker, x402 Bazaar) with every record credited to its source. The surface is anonymous and rate-limited per IP (10/s, 100/min, 1,000/h) with no signup and no token: a documented but unspecified REST read surface at https://botmarket.bot/v1 plus POST /v1/submit with a dry_run flag, and a live remote MCP server at https://botmarket.bot/mcp (protocol 2025-06-18, six read-only tools with real inputSchemas). Discovery is published as llms.txt, an OpenAI ai-plugin.json, an OpenSearch description, an MCP server card and an agent card at /.well-known/agent-card.json that is served and owned but not A2A conformant (capabilities is an array, no protocolVersion, no skills, no A2A endpoint). The OpenAPI both llms.txt and ai-plugin.json advertise at /openapi.json is not served (404), so no machine-readable REST contract exists. Optional tipping over x402 / MTP is advertised in a response header; nothing is paywalled.

KOA Labs is listed with 2 APIs on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Agents, MCP, A2A, Agent Discovery, and Marketplace.

KOA Labs’ developer surface includes pricing, engineering blog, documentation, authentication, and 13 more developer resources.

Kin Score Kin Score How this is scored →
scored 2026-10-09 · rubric v0.23.0
Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Government & Public Sector 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/.
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 github.com/api-evangelist/botmarket-bot: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts. Submit an artifact on GitHub — free → Manage your own listing — the Influence plan, $499/mo →

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.

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