Cognizant Technology Solutions

Cognizant Technology Solutions is a multinational information technology services and consulting company that provides digital, technology, consulting, and operations services to clients worldwide. Cognizant publishes no hosted, general-purpose commercial API and operates no developer portal - developer.cognizant.com and api.cognizant.com do not resolve. It does, however, publish a real machine-readable API contract: Cognizant AI Lab releases Neuro SAN (Neuro AI System of Agent Networks), an Apache-2.0 multi-agent orchestration framework whose agent service ships four .proto files defining two gRPC services, a generated OpenAPI 3.0.3 document the running server publishes at /api/v1/docs, and an MCP 2025-06-18 endpoint that exposes each public agent network as a callable tool. The framework is self-hosted - Cognizant ships the software and the operator runs the server - so there is no Cognizant-operated endpoint, no pricing, and no rate limit to publish. Six first-party Python packages are on PyPI, led by neuro-san (0.7.18 on 2026-11-03, 167 releases, actively developed). The commercial Neuro AI platform family (Neuro AI Decisioning, Neuro AI Enterprise Core, Neuro AI Engineering, Neuro AI for IT Operations) and other delivered platforms are engaged through consulting rather than self-service APIs.

Cognizant Technology Solutions publishes 2 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network: Agent Service API and Concierge Service API. Tagged areas include AI Platform, Consulting, Digital Transformation, IT Services, and Multi-Agent.

The Cognizant Technology Solutions catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 1 Spectral governance ruleset.

Cognizant Technology Solutions’ developer surface includes product news, engineering blog, CLI, changelog, documentation, getting-started guide, support, and 37 more developer resources.

Kin Score

Kin Score Kin Score How this is scored →
scored 2026-11-06 · rubric v0.27.0
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 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):
  • 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)
  • 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
  • Delegated User Identity +6 pts — a served discovery document listing authorization_code in grant_types_supported (served), else an oauth2 authorizationCode flow or openIdConnect declared in an OpenAPI (documented)

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.

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.

Standards implemented 2

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.
