This index is generated from the provider’s OpenAPI security definitions (and, where available, its documented scope reference) and refreshes on every APIs.io network build. Browse every provider’s scopes at scopes.apis.io.

note: >-
  The Kernel REST API OpenAPI declares a single bearer (API key) scheme without
  oauth2 flows, but the RFC 8414 authorization-server metadata advertises OAuth 2.1
  (used by the hosted MCP server, with dynamic client registration) and two coarse
  scopes. Scopes are captured from the well-known document verbatim.
