DataStax
DataStax is the company behind Astra DB, a serverless, multi-cloud database and vector-search platform built on Apache Cassandra, along with Langflow, RAGStack, and the Astra Streaming (Apache Pulsar) event platform for building generative-AI and real-time applications. Developers interact with Astra DB through the Data API (JSON document, table, and vector operations), the legacy REST, Document, and GraphQL APIs, and the Astra DevOps API for programmatic administration of databases, keyspaces, access lists, roles, users, tokens, private links, and CDC. DataStax publishes official client SDKs (Python astrapy, TypeScript astra-db-ts, Go astra-db-go), the Java-based Astra CLI, and an official Astra DB Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for agentic access. DataStax was acquired by IBM in 2025 and its Astra products are now part of the IBM watsonx data portfolio, while the developer surface remains hosted on datastax.com, docs.datastax.com, astra.datastax.com, and github.com/datastax.
DataStax publishes 17 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including Access List API, Authentication API, Clone API, and 14 more. Tagged areas include Company, Enterprise, Database, Vector Search, and Cassandra.
DataStax’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, signup flow, support, pricing, engineering blog, and 28 more developer resources.

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.

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.
