DocSend

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 is listed with 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.

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 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.

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/.

Agent readiness — checks not met, largest first (exact, from this profile):

Agentic Access Contract +10 pts — agentic_access artifact present (x-agentic-access), graded by author
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)
Stable Error Semantics +8 pts — OpenAPI $refs a shared error schema across 4xx/5xx responses (verified), else common[].type includes ErrorCatalog / ErrorCodes / DeclineCodes
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
Documented Reversibility +6 pts — a reversal operation in the contract, graded up when a window is documented too

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 the provider profile at artifacts.apis.io/docsend/apis.yml: open an issue on github.com/api-evangelist/docsend to ask a question or point us at an artifact you publish.

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.

Market	Position	Depth	Registered MCP server	Declares compatibility
IFTTT Services (service publishers)	builds-on	35.3	-	-

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.

Standards implemented 3

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.
