Kin Score
Markets this provider is in provisional
The Kin Score Market layer reads a provider inside its market: its position, and how deep its integrations go. Depth is only comparable within a position. Provisional and unweighted: not part of the Kin Score or agent readiness.
| Market | Position | Depth | Registered MCP server | Declares compatibility |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Identity and Auth | builds-on | 51.1 | - | 1 |
| Agent Skills (SKILL.md packages) | builds-on | 51.1 | - | 1 |
| OpenSSF Best Practices Badge Holders | builds-on | 51.1 | - | 1 |
| Docker Hub Verified Publishers + Official Images | builds-on | 51.1 | - | 1 |
| Buf Schema Registry (public Protocol Buffers modules, gRPC / ConnectRPC schema publishers) | builds-on | 51.1 | - | 1 |
Registered MCP server and declares compatibility are report only — not weighted. Undeclared means we found nothing we can read, so there is no number: we never infer integrations.
