Paperless Parts
Paperless Parts, Inc. is a Boston-based manufacturing software company founded in 2017 that builds a secure, ITAR-compliant cloud quoting and sales platform for custom part manufacturers — job shops, contract manufacturers and rapid-prototype businesses working in CNC machining, sheet metal fabrication, Swiss screw machining, wire EDM, waterjet and additive manufacturing. A patented geometry engine analyses uploaded CAD to automate costing, and the P3L pricing language lets a shop encode its own pricing logic. The company publishes a public REST API in two live versions (v1 and v2) at api.paperlessparts.com, covering quotes, quote items, orders, jobs, parts, processes, contacts and accounts, custom pricing tables, purchased components, and a managed integrations framework with a poll-based Streaming API for reacting to platform events. A first-party Python SDK is published on GitHub under the part-os organization.
Paperless Parts publishes 12 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including Contacts API, Custom Tables API, Customers API, and 9 more. Tagged areas include Company, Manufacturing, Quoting, CNC Machining, and Sheet Metal.
The Paperless Parts catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification.
Paperless Parts’ developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, engineering blog, pricing, signup flow, and 32 more developer resources.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Industrial Automation and Robotics | long-tail | 5.6 | - | - |
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.

Standards this provider implements or carries. De facto ones are profiled and measured by the API Commons; formal ones come from the standards directory and are linked by the provider's own tags. The evidence column says how each claim was established — not that it was made.
