find-ref

find-ref is a Korean-language reference-search service for accounting, tax, legal and labor practitioners, built by CPA Lee Chul (공인회계사 이철). Users describe a fact pattern with amounts and the service returns an AI-written answer grounded in statutes (법인세법 등), enforcement decrees, accounting standards (K-IFRS), court judgments and tax-tribunal rulings, with every citation linking back to the original text. The product is offered both as a web chat at find-ref.com and as a Claude connector (MCP) at api.find-ref.com/mcp, so answers can be requested from inside Claude using the same corpus.

find-ref is listed with 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Accounting, Tax, Legal Research, Labor Law, and AI Assistant.

find-ref’s developer surface includes changelog, authentication, pricing, and 14 more developer resources.

Kin Score Kin Score How this is scored →
scored 2026-11-13 · rubric v0.28.0
Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the AI & Biometrics 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/.

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/find-ref-com/apis.yml: open an issue on github.com/api-evangelist/find-ref-com to ask a question or point us at an artifact you publish.
