Hex
Hex is an AI-powered analytics platform that combines agentic notebooks, interactive data apps, and conversational self-serve analytics so teams can go from ad-hoc exploration to published, governed data apps. The Hex External API (bearer-token authenticated, base https://app.hex.tech/api/v1) lets you programmatically run and schedule projects, manage projects, collections, groups, cells, and data connections, ingest semantic models, drive AI agent Threads (create, continue, read messages), export projects, and administer workspace users. Hex also ships a first-party CLI, a hosted remote MCP server, Airflow and Dagster integrations, and published Claude Agent Skills. Surfaced as an a16z portfolio company and enriched with its real public developer surface.
Hex publishes 12 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including Cells API, Collections API, Context API, and 9 more. Tagged areas include Company, Analytics, Data Science, Notebooks, and Business Intelligence.
Hex’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, engineering blog, pricing, signup flow, changelog, and 29 more developer resources.

Kin Score
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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Business Intelligence, Analytics and Visualization | standard | 29.6 | - | - |
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.
