Plunk
Plunk is an open-source (AGPL-3.0) email platform for developers that unifies transactional email, marketing campaigns, contact segmentation and event-driven workflow automation behind a single REST API. It publishes its own OpenAPI 3.1.0 at docs.useplunk.com/openapi.json, declaring next-api.useplunk.com as the production base URL, and authenticates with a two-class Bearer API key where the prefix decides capability — sk_ for every endpoint and pk_ for the client-safe /v1/track tracking call. The API supports Idempotency-Key on both public write endpoints, cursor pagination, a structured error envelope carrying machine codes plus remediation hints, and a documented webhook event catalogue delivered as workflow steps. Every documentation page is also served as Markdown. The entire stack self-hosts with Docker Compose for full data ownership and no per-email costs.
Plunk publishes 7 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including Campaigns API, Contacts API, Events API, and 4 more. Tagged areas include Email, Transactional Email, Marketing, Automation, and Open Source.
The Plunk catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification and 1 Spectral governance ruleset.
Plunk’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, changelog, API reference, getting-started guide, support, pricing, and 34 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Communications (CPaaS) | covered | 19.2 (thin) | - | - |
| Atlassian Marketplace (builders on Jira, Confluence, Bitbucket) | covered | 19.2 (thin) | - | - |
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.
