Coactive
Coactive is a multimodal AI platform that delivers a contextual intelligence layer for modern media, turning unstructured images and video into structured, searchable intelligence. The platform ingests visual assets at scale and provides agentic and semantic search, dynamic tagging, concept training and classification, celebrity and face detection, video narrative metadata and summarization, ad-segment context studio workflows, and analytics that plug into data warehouses and BI tools. Every capability is exposed programmatically through a versioned REST API (api.coactive.ai) with an official Python SDK, bearer-token authentication, and a hosted documentation MCP server. Coactive was founded to help enterprises search, moderate, understand, and monetize their content libraries for contextual advertising, brand safety, and content operations.
Coactive publishes 22 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including agentic-search > agenticSearch API, Celebrity Detection API, Classification API, and 19 more. Tagged areas include Company, Artificial Intelligence, Multimodal AI, Computer Vision, and Video Intelligence.
The Coactive catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 1 Spectral governance ruleset.
Coactive’s developer surface includes changelog, documentation, getting-started guide, API reference, engineering blog, signup flow, support, and 41 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ONVIF Video Analytics (video surveillance, edge cameras, computer vision) | standard | 36.4 | - | - |
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.
