Cloudflare Stream
Cloudflare Stream is the video streaming, hosting, and live-video product from Cloudflare - a single REST API for uploading, storing, encoding, and delivering on-demand and live video across Cloudflare's global network. It handles direct and TUS resumable uploads, copy-from-URL ingest, live inputs over RTMPS and SRT (with simulcast outputs and WebRTC/WHIP/WHEP beta), a built-in adaptive-bitrate player and HLS/DASH manifests, AI-generated and uploaded captions, signed-URL access control, per-account webhooks, and viewing analytics. This entry documents the Cloudflare Stream product specifically, not the broader Cloudflare platform. The API is served under https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/accounts/{account_id}/stream and authenticates with a Bearer API token. Billed at $5 per 1,000 minutes of video stored and $1 per 1,000 minutes delivered.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Streaming Video and Media Delivery | 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.
