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 is listed with 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 18 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Horizontal (data, software, accessibility, platform) 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/.

Agent readiness — checks not met, largest first (exact, from this profile):

Machine-Readable Contract +18 pts — api_specs includes an OpenAPI document
Agentic Access Contract +10 pts — agentic_access artifact present (x-agentic-access), graded by author
Idempotency +9 pts — OpenAPI mutating operations declare an idempotency key — a header, a request-body property, or a named de-duplication token whose own description says so (verified); else common[].type matches /idempoten/i (documented)
Stable Error Semantics +8 pts — OpenAPI $refs a shared error schema across 4xx/5xx responses (verified), else common[].type includes ErrorCatalog / ErrorCodes / DeclineCodes
A2A Agent Card +8 pts — a2a/-a2a.yml manifest, graded on conformance.grade against A2A 1.0.0
Rate-Limit Signaling +7 pts — OpenAPI responses document X-RateLimit-* / RateLimit headers (verified), else a rate_limits artifact or RateLimits link (documented)

11 more unmet checks in the Agent Readiness table above.

Developer Ergonomics scores 45.2 — up to +11.0 composite points

Each check links to what satisfies it. Publish the artifact, or tell us where it already lives, and the score moves on the next scoring run.

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 the provider profile at artifacts.apis.io/mindsdb/apis.yml: open an issue on github.com/api-evangelist/mindsdb to ask a question or point us at an artifact you publish.
