Veradermics

Veradermics is a dermatologist-founded, late clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company headquartered in New Haven, Connecticut, developing first-in-class therapeutics for common dermatologic and aesthetic conditions. Its lead program, VDPHL01, is an oral, non-hormonal candidate for pattern hair loss in men and women, in Phase II/III trials — the first oral pattern-hair-loss trials in nearly thirty years and the first US trials in female pattern hair loss. A broader pipeline targets alopecia, warts, molluscum contagiosum and atopic dermatitis. The company closed an oversubscribed $150M Series C in October 2025 and completed a US IPO in February 2026 under the ticker MANE. Veradermics operates no public developer program, developer portal, SDK or documented API; the only machine-readable surfaces on its corporate host are WordPress platform plumbing — an RFC 8414 / RFC 9728 OAuth discovery chain and an auth-gated MCP server registered by the WordPress MCP Adapter.

Veradermics is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Biotechnology, Pharmaceuticals, Life Sciences, and Healthcare.

Veradermics’ developer surface includes support, authentication, and 11 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):

Machine-Readable Contract +18 pts — api_specs includes an OpenAPI document
Agentic Access Contract +10 pts — agentic_access artifact present (x-agentic-access), graded by author
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)
Stable Error Semantics +8 pts — OpenAPI $refs a shared error schema across 4xx/5xx responses (verified), else common[].type includes ErrorCatalog / ErrorCodes / DeclineCodes
A2A Agent Card +8 pts — a2a/-a2a.yml manifest, graded on conformance.grade against A2A 1.0.0
Request/Response Examples +7 pts — share of operations carrying request/response examples; else an Examples / Code Samples link

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/veradermics/apis.yml: open an issue on github.com/api-evangelist/veradermics to ask a question or point us at an artifact you publish.
