DocSend is a secure document sharing and analytics platform, now part of Dropbox, used by sales, marketing, and fundraising teams to share pitch decks, sales collateral, and confidential documents through trackable links. It provides page-by-page viewer analytics, granular access controls (email verification, passcodes, expiration, watermarking), virtual data rooms, and e-signature. DocSend was surfaced as a portfolio company of Cowboy Ventures, DCM Ventures, and Uncork Capital and enriched by the API Evangelist pipeline. DocSend publishes no public REST API and no OpenAPI; its only programmatic surface is a live, OAuth-secured hosted Model Context Protocol (MCP) server at https://docsend.com/mcp, backed by RFC 8414 authorization-server discovery, RFC 9728 protected-resource metadata, dynamic client registration (RFC 7591), and mandatory PKCE. In August 2026 DocSend replaced the server's two coarse mcp:read / mcp:write scopes with five resource-scoped ones — documents:read, spaces:read, spaces:write, analytics:read, contacts:read.
DocSend publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Enterprise, Document Sharing, Sales Enablement, and Analytics.
The DocSend catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification.
DocSend’s developer surface includes authentication, pricing, signup flow, support, engineering blog, and 20 more developer resources.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for
this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero:
never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and
several others — scorable at all.
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/docsend: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.

description: 'DocSend''s hosted Model Context Protocol server — the only programmatic surface DocSend publishes. An MCP
client POSTs Streamable-HTTP JSON-RPC to https://docsend.com/mcp (also reachable at https://mcp.docsend.com/mcp) with
an OAuth 2.0 bearer token. The authorization surface is fully machine-discoverable: RFC 8414 authorization-server metadata,
RFC 9728 protected-resource metadata, RFC 7591 dynamic client registration and mandatory PKCE (S256). Five resource scopes
are advertised — documents:read, spaces:read, spaces:write, analytics:read, contacts:read — so the surface spans documents,
Spaces (virtual data rooms), viewer analytics and contacts, with Spaces the only writable domain. The tool list is behind
the bearer requirement and DocSend publishes no MCP documentation, so tools must be discovered after authorizing.'

x-humanurl-note: DocSend publishes no documentation page for this API — no developer portal, no API reference, no MCP setup
guide on any readable host. humanURL points at the product the API serves, which is the closest human-readable page that
genuinely exists. No Documentation / DeveloperPortal / APIReference pointer is emitted for this repo, because none of
those pages exist.
