evernote

Evernote is a cross-platform note-taking, organization, and task-management application operated by Bending Spoons. It lets people capture notes, web clips, images, audio, and documents, sync them across devices, and search across their knowledge base. For developers, Evernote publishes the Evernote Cloud API — a Thrift-based (EDAM) service exposing UserStore and NoteStore operations for creating, reading, searching, sharing, and synchronizing notes, notebooks, tags, and resources. Authentication is via three-legged OAuth 1.0a or long-lived developer tokens, with a sandbox environment for development. Official SDKs cover Python, Java, Ruby, JavaScript/Node, PHP, iOS, Android, and C#. The classic EDAM API and SDKs are deprecated and no longer actively developed; Evernote is now building a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server to connect AI tools to notes.

evernote is listed with 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Note Taking, Productivity, Knowledge Management, and Notes.

The evernote catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification.

evernote’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, signup flow, support, engineering blog, pricing, and 26 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)
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
Delegated User Identity +6 pts — a served discovery document listing authorization_code in grant_types_supported (served), else an oauth2 authorizationCode flow or openIdConnect declared in an OpenAPI (documented)
Registration Without a Human +6 pts — a `registration_endpoint` in the served RFC 8414 / OIDC discovery document

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
Workplace Collaboration App Marketplaces	builds-on	33.5	-	-
Browser Extension Stores (company-published Firefox add-ons; Chrome Web Store unreadable)	builds-on	33.5	-	-

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.
