Turso

Turso is an edge database platform built on libSQL, a fork of SQLite, offering both an embedded in-process database engine and a managed cloud service (Turso Cloud) for deploying millions of SQLite databases at the edge. Developers can programmatically manage databases, groups, organizations, and authentication tokens via the Turso Platform API, and execute SQL queries directly over HTTP using the libSQL HTTP API. Turso targets multi-tenant SaaS, AI agent architectures, and edge/serverless workloads where per-user or per-agent database isolation is required. The platform provides official SDKs for TypeScript, Go, Python, and mobile (iOS/Android), a CLI tool, and an MCP server integration for AI assistant access.

Turso publishes 6 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including Auth API, Locations API, Organizations API, and 3 more. Tagged areas include Database, Edge Computing, SQLite, Developer Tools, and Multi-Tenant.

The Turso catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 1 Spectral governance ruleset.

Turso’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, engineering blog, pricing, CLI, code examples, and 18 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Horizontal (data, software, accessibility, platform) 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 applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.

The six quality facets above are damped to 75 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 25. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 75% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

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
Agent Skills (SKILL.md packages)	builds-on	36.7	-	1
Stripe App Marketplace and Partner Ecosystem (builders on Stripe)	builds-on	36.7	-	1

Raycast Store Extensions (first-party publishers + community-wrapped products)	builds-on	36.7	-	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.
