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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| API Management (gateways, portals, service mesh, proxies) | builds-on | 49.5 | 2 | - |
| IDE Extension Marketplaces (JetBrains, VS Code, Open VSX, Docker Verified Publishers, PyPI orgs) | builds-on | 49.5 | 2 | - |
| Atlassian Marketplace (builders on Jira, Confluence, Bitbucket) | builds-on | 49.5 | 2 | - |
| Browser Extension Stores (company-published Firefox add-ons; Chrome Web Store unreadable) | builds-on | 49.5 | 2 | - |
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.
