MindsDB

MindsDB is an open-source (MIT) AI data platform and semantic query engine that lets AI agents securely query, transform, and act on data from any datasource using SQL. It connects to 200+ databases, applications, and vector stores, builds knowledge bases for hybrid vector + keyword search, trains and serves models, and runs open-source AI agents and automated jobs — all through a SQL-over-HTTP REST API, the MySQL wire protocol, official Python and JavaScript SDKs, and a first-party Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. The company now operates as MindsHub (mindshub.ai), a unified AI workspace where knowledge workers delegate multi-step projects to agents, all built on the MindsDB engine. Originally surfaced as a Benchmark portfolio company; enriched by the API Evangelist pipeline.

MindsDB publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Artificial Intelligence, Machine-Learning, AI Agents, and Data.

MindsDB’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, engineering blog, support, pricing, signup flow, and 16 more developer resources.

scored 2026-09-08 · rubric v0.20.0
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/mindsdb: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
