Meitu

Meitu (美图) is a Chinese visual-technology company best known for its photo- and video-editing apps (Meitu, BeautyCam, Meitu Xiuxiu).

Access uses a per-application access key and secret key signature; an official Node.js CLI (meitu-cli) wraps the OpenAPI. Surfaced as a portfolio company of Qiming and enriched by the API Evangelist pipeline.

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.

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/meitu: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.

    from the published API contracts, not an existing server. The scorer already read the manifest and reported mcp_server
    correctly; the MCPServer type was crediting the artifact-type surfaces with a server that does not exist.'
