Cloverly

Cloverly is an Atlanta-headquartered climate technology company that operates a developer-first carbon-credit infrastructure platform. The Cloverly API estimates and purchases verified carbon offsets in real time across a curated portfolio of reforestation, biochar, direct air capture, renewable energy, and methane-abatement projects sourced from registries such as Verra, Gold Standard, ACR, Climate Action Reserve, and Puro.earth. The Catalyst product extends the same platform to project developers managing inventory, pricing, content, payments, and omnichannel distribution. In 2024 Cloverly was acquired by Climate Impact X (CIX), the Singapore-based carbon exchange, and has since operated as the technology arm powering CIX-aligned voluntary carbon market infrastructure.

Cloverly is listed with 4 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Estimates API, Purchases API, Offset Types API, and 1 more. Tagged areas include Carbon, Carbon Credits, Carbon Offsets, Catalyst, and Climate.

The Cloverly catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 2 Spectral governance rulesets.

Cloverly’s developer surface includes authentication, developer portal, documentation, signup flow, engineering blog, YouTube channel, API reference, and 26 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Energy & Utilities 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 applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.

The six quality facets above are damped to 75 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 25. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 75% 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):

MCP Server +12 pts — deployment.mode + probe verdict on the mcp/ manifest, not the pointer; an unprobed slug falls back to authorship
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
Request/Response Examples +7 pts — share of operations carrying request/response examples; else an Examples / Code Samples link
Registration Without a Human +6 pts — a `registration_endpoint` in the served RFC 8414 / OIDC discovery document

9 more unmet checks in the Agent Readiness table above.

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
Weather and Climate Data	long-tail	2.5 (thin)	-	-
Carbon Markets and Environmental Services (carbon removal, waste, mining)	long-tail	2.5 (thin)	-	-
Carbon Accounting Disclosure Standards (SBTi, PCAF, CDP, GHG Protocol)	long-tail	2.5 (thin)	-	-

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.
