Debut

Debut (Debut Biotechnology, Inc.) is a San Diego, California biotechnology company founded in 2019 by Dr. Joshua Britton that combines AI-driven molecular discovery, skin genomics and cell-free biomanufacturing to create novel cosmetic active ingredients and finished skincare formulations. Its BeautyORB platform screens billions of candidate molecules in silico against a skin-health genomic dataset, and the company is vertically integrated from discovery through fermentation, scale-up and formulation, selling ingredients and brand-ready products to beauty manufacturers as well as running its own direct-to-consumer skincare brand, DEINDE. Debut has raised roughly $89M across Series A, Series B (led by BOLD, the L'Oreal venture fund) and later rounds, employs more than 80 people, and was named to the TIME100 Most Innovative Companies 2025. Debut sells molecules and formulations rather than software: debutbiotech.com publishes no developer program, no public API and no machine-readable API contract. Its only agent-reachable API surface is the Shopify-hosted Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP) MCP endpoint on its DEINDE storefront at www.deinde.com, which is live, unauthenticated for catalog and cart operations, and returns full JSON Schema tool definitions.

Debut publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Biotechnology, Beauty, Cosmetics, and Skincare.

Debut’s developer surface includes engineering blog, product news, support, documentation, authentication, and 21 more developer resources.

    Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP) service exposed over MCP at https://www.deinde.com/api/ucp/mcp, advertised by the store's
    own /llms.txt, /agents.md and /.well-known/ucp documents. An anonymous tools/list call returns 13 tools with complete
    JSON Schema inputs covering catalog search and lookup, cart lifecycle, checkout lifecycle and order retrieval. This is
    platform-provided commerce plumbing served from Debut's own host, not a first-party Debut engineering API — Debut publishes
    no OpenAPI and no developer portal of its own.
