Bruin

Bruin is an end-to-end, open-source AI data platform that consolidates data ingestion, SQL and Python transformation, orchestration, quality checks, column-level lineage, and natural-language analytics into a single Git-native tool - positioned as a replacement for a fragmented Fivetran + dbt + Airflow + BI stack. Its developer surface is the open-source Bruin CLI (Apache-2.0, Go), the ingestr data-copy tool (MIT), a Python SDK, a VS Code extension, a GitHub Action, and a built-in Model Context Protocol server (`bruin mcp`) plus a set of packaged agent skills. Bruin Cloud adds a hosted control plane with scheduling and dashboards. Bruin is SOC 2 Type 2 audited and GDPR-compliant, and was a Techstars portfolio company. There is no public REST API; the platform is operated through the CLI, SDK, and MCP server.

Bruin is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Data, Data Engineering, Data Pipeline, and ETL.

Bruin’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, engineering blog, support, signup flow, CLI, and 20 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
Machine-Readable Auth +10 pts — a served openid-configuration/oauth-authorization-server carrying `issuer` (served), else the securitySchemes class in the provider OpenAPIs — bound (mutualTLS, DPoP, Signature) > negotiable (oauth2 authorizationCode/clientCredentials, openIdConnect) > bearer (http bearer, apiKey)
Idempotency +9 pts — OpenAPI mutating operations declare an idempotency key — a header, a request-body property, or a named de-duplication token whose own description says so (verified); else common[].type matches /idempoten/i (documented)
Stable Error Semantics +8 pts — OpenAPI $refs a shared error schema across 4xx/5xx responses (verified), else common[].type includes ErrorCatalog / ErrorCodes / DeclineCodes
A2A Agent Card +8 pts — a2a/-a2a.yml manifest, graded on conformance.grade against A2A 1.0.0

11 more unmet checks in the Agent Readiness table above.

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

Contract Quality scores 0.0 — up to +25.0 composite points
Access Clarity scores 36.8 — up to +12.6 composite points
Contract Governance scores 18.2 — up to +9.8 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/bruin/apis.yml: open an issue on github.com/api-evangelist/bruin to ask a question or point us at an artifact you publish.
