Kinetica

Kinetica is a GPU-accelerated, real-time analytical database that unifies relational (SQL), vector, graph, geospatial, time-series and OLAP workloads in a single query engine, aimed at applications needing millisecond-latency analytics over continuously streaming data. Grown out of a GPU-accelerated geospatial and temporal engine built for U.S. Army Intelligence (INSCOM) in 2009, it is deployed today as the retrieval and reasoning layer behind AI agents and LLM-powered systems. The database is consumed through a POST-only JSON REST API (/execute/sql, /show/table, /insert/records/json, /filter/*, /aggregate/*, /match/graph and friends) served from each deployment on port 9191, plus first-party client libraries for Python, Java, C++, C#, JavaScript/Node.js and Go, JDBC/ODBC drivers, and the KiSQL command-line client. For agents, Kinetica publishes an A2A agent card and an installable Agent Skills package on its documentation host, and ships Toolbelt — an OAuth-protected hosted MCP server exposing toolbelt_* tools for SQL, vector search, graph traversal, schema introspection and ingest-job inspection.

Kinetica publishes 3 APIs on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include database, analytics, gpu-acceleration, real-time-analytics, and vector-search.

Kinetica’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, engineering blog, pricing, signup flow, and 27 more developer resources.

  description: POST-only JSON REST API exposed by every Kinetica deployment on port 9191. Endpoints cover SQL execution (/execute/sql),
    record ingest and egress (/insert/records/json, /get/records/json), schema and metadata introspection (/show/table, /show/graph,
    /show/system/properties), filtering (/filter/byarea, /filter/byradius), aggregation (/aggregate/groupby, /aggregate/statistics,
    /aggregate/histogram, /aggregate/kmeans), graph creation and solving (/create/graph, /match/graph) and cluster administration
    (/admin/rebalance, /admin/show/cluster/operations). Authentication is HTTP Basic or an OAuth 2.0 bearer token. The base
    URL is deployment-specific — clusters are self-hosted or provisioned through Kinetica Cloud — so there is no single public
    production host.

  baseURL: https://cloud.kinetica.com/
  x-base-url-note: Deployment-specific. The documented form is http://<db.host>:9191 for a self-managed cluster; cloud.kinetica.com
    is the Kinetica Cloud provisioning console that issues a per-cluster host.

    Exposes toolbelt_* tools for SQL execution, vector search, knowledge-graph traversal, schema introspection and ingest-job
    inspection, with namespace isolation between datasets. Protected by OAuth 2.0 (RFC 9728 protected-resource metadata, authorization
