Curie

Curie (Curie Vision, Inc.) is the commerce layer for AI — it connects AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini to real product catalogs from 5.6M+ Shopify stores via the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Results carry live prices, real inventory, affiliate purchase links, and interactive 3D digital twins (GLB/USDZ) that shoppers can rotate and view in AR. Curie publishes a public REST catalog API, a hosted MCP server exposing 30 commerce tools, and cross-protocol discovery profiles (MCP, UCP, A2A, OpenAI Apps SDK). Most discovery and tool calls run on a free public tier with no auth; a Pro Bearer is required only for premium tools such as checkout. Backed by 500 Global.

Curie publishes 2 APIs on the APIs.io network: Catalog API and Products API. Tagged areas include Company, Commerce, E-Commerce, Shopify, and Artificial Intelligence.

Curie’s developer surface includes documentation, pricing, authentication, and 17 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 does not apply to this provider. The published contracts declare no write operations, and a read-only API cannot create-or-update. The facet is excluded from this provider's denominator entirely — not scored zero. A reference or data API is not deficient for being unable to upsert.

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/curie: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
