Science Corporation

Science Corporation is a neurotechnology company founded in 2021 by former Neuralink president Max Hodak, developing brain-computer interfaces and implantable neural devices to restore vision, cognition, and mobility (its PRIMA retinal implant and biohybrid BCI are its marquee programs). Its developer-facing surface is the Synapse Protocol, a flexible gRPC / Protocol Buffers standard API — paired with the Neural Data Transport Protocol (NDTP) — for discovering neural interface devices on a local network, configuring on-device signal chains (broadband source, spike detector, electrical/optical stimulation, disk writer, camera nodes), and streaming high-throughput neural data over UDP. Official client libraries ship for Python (science-synapse, including the synapsectl CLI), TypeScript, and C++, all generated from the open protobuf definitions in the sciencecorp GitHub org.

Science Corporation is listed with 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Neurotechnology, Brain-Computer Interface, Neural Interface, and Medical Devices.

Science Corporation’s developer surface includes engineering blog, documentation, getting-started guide, changelog, support, and 6 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Health 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):

MCP Server +12 pts — deployment.mode + probe verdict on the mcp/ manifest, not the pointer; an unprobed slug falls back to authorship
Agentic Access Contract +10 pts — agentic_access artifact present (x-agentic-access), graded by author
Machine-Readable Auth +10 pts — a served openid-configuration/oauth-authorization-server carrying `issuer` (served), else the securitySchemes class in the provider OpenAPIs — bound (mutualTLS, DPoP, Signature) > negotiable (oauth2 authorizationCode/clientCredentials, openIdConnect) > bearer (http bearer, apiKey)
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)
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)

10 more unmet checks in the Agent Readiness table above.

Kin Score — facets with the most composite points still available (weight × headroom):

Contract Quality scores 24.0 — up to +19.0 composite points
Access Clarity scores 21.1 — up to +15.8 composite points
Contract Governance scores 4.5 — up to +11.5 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/science-corporation/apis.yml: open an issue on github.com/api-evangelist/science-corporation to ask a question or point us at an artifact you publish.

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
Canada Medical Device Licensing (Health Canada MDALL licence holders, incl. SaMD)	distribution	9.6 (thin)	-	-
Buf Schema Registry (public Protocol Buffers modules, gRPC / ConnectRPC schema publishers)	distribution	9.6 (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.

Standards implemented 2

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.
