Ministry of Supply

Ministry of Supply is a Boston-based performance apparel company founded in 2011 out of MIT, engineering technical dress shirts, pants, suits, knitwear and outerwear for work, travel and commuting using temperature-regulating, wrinkle-resistant and stretch-recovery fabrics. It sells direct to consumer from a Shopify storefront at ministryofsupply.com. Its API surface is not a developer program but an agentic commerce surface: the store publishes an agents.md / llms.txt instruction document, a Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP) merchant profile at /.well-known/ucp, and a live, anonymously-callable Model Context Protocol endpoint at /api/ucp/mcp exposing thirteen catalog, cart, checkout and order tools with full JSON Schema inputs, plus Shopify customer-account OpenID Connect discovery documents. Checkout requires contemporaneous human approval; complete_checkout requires an idempotency key.

Ministry of Supply is listed with 2 APIs on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Apparel, Retail, E-Commerce, and Direct to Consumer.

Ministry of Supply’s developer surface includes documentation, authentication, support, engineering blog, and 20 more developer resources.

Kin Score

Kin Score Kin Score How this is scored →
scored 2026-10-09 · rubric v0.23.0
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/.
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/ministry-of-supply: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
