Shortcut Software
Shortcut (formerly Clubhouse, renamed 2021) is a fast, lightweight project-management platform where software teams and their AI agents plan, build, and ship together — issue tracking, sprints, docs, and roadmaps in one tool.

Shortcut exposes a full REST API v3 (api.app.shortcut.com) covering Stories, Epics, Iterations, Objectives, Docs, Workflows, and more, secured by a Shortcut-Token API key or OAuth 2.0, plus outgoing webhooks and an official hosted MCP server for agent coordination (Korey AI).
Shortcut Software publishes 25 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including Categories API, Custom Fields API, Documents API, and 22 more. Tagged areas include Company, Project Management, Issue Tracking, Agile, and Developer Tools.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Atlassian Marketplace (builders on Jira, Confluence, Bitbucket) | builds-on | 31.8 | - | - |
| IFTTT Services (service publishers) | builds-on | 31.8 | - | - |
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.
