Soda
Soda is a data quality and data observability platform for the modern data stack. Its core abstraction is the data contract — a declarative YAML source of truth that defines the checks a dataset must pass — extended by organization-wide data standards, ML-based metric monitors for anomaly detection, record-level diagnostics, lineage and impact analysis, and AI-assisted contract generation (Contract Autopilot and Copilot). Soda ships an open-source engine (Soda Core), a Go CLI for the whole platform (sodacli), a 103-operation Soda Cloud v4 REST API, a webhook event surface, and a first-party MCP server that exposes 78 tools so agents can manage data quality directly. Soda Data Inc. is headquartered in Belgium.
Soda publishes 15 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including Attributes API, Checks API, Contracts API, and 12 more. Tagged areas include AIOps, Data Quality, Data Observability, Data Contracts, and Data Governance.
The Soda catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification and 1 Spectral governance ruleset.
Soda’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, engineering blog, pricing, signup flow, and 39 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Data Integration (ELT connectors and data governance) | builds-on | 34.5 (thin) | - | 1 |
| Artifact Hub Cloud-Native Packages | builds-on | 34.5 (thin) | - | 1 |
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.
