GlobalData

GlobalData Plc is a London-listed data, analytics and insights company (LSE: DATA) whose Intelligence Center platform covers companies, deals, news, filings, patents, job postings, research reports, projects and market data across 20+ industry verticals. Its machine-readable surface is agent-native rather than REST-first: GlobalData operates a first-party Model Context Protocol gateway at mcp.globaldata.com that exposes the estate as callable agent tools, one MCP server endpoint per vertical, behind OAuth 2.1 via GlobalData SSO. The gateway publishes a full developer reference at its host root, RFC 8414 and RFC 9728 OAuth metadata, and an Agentic Resource Discovery (AIR) manifest at /.well-known/ai-catalog.json advertising all 23 vertical endpoints. No OpenAPI, GraphQL SDL, AsyncAPI or SOAP contract is published anywhere.

GlobalData publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Market Intelligence, Business Intelligence, Data, and Analytics.

GlobalData’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, support, signup flow, engineering blog, authentication, and 16 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Energy & Utilities 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 github.com/api-evangelist/globaldata: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.

  description: A governed Model Context Protocol gateway that turns GlobalData's business intelligence into tools an AI agent
    can call directly. One MCP server endpoint per industry vertical, all sharing a single tool interface over Streamable
    HTTP with JSON-RPC 2.0. Seven gateway tools are always on (list_domains, search, resolve_entities, discover_capabilities,
    reveal_advanced, get_capabilities, tool_search); domain tools for companies, deals, news, filings, patents, jobs, reports,
    projects, contacts, market data and vertical-specific databases are revealed progressively and filtered by subscription
    entitlement. Authentication is OAuth 2.1 via GlobalData SSO at login.globaldata.com. The anonymous tools/list probe returns
    HTTP 401, so the live input schemas require an authenticated session.
