Cohort brief
Auto-generatedThe 1083 providers in the APIs.io catalog tagged Open Source, scored on the Kin Score. Every figure below is computed from the catalog — nothing here is written.
| Facet | This cohort | Catalog | Difference | Scored |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Operational Transparency | 27.4 | 13.7 | +13.7 | 1083 |
| Developer Ergonomics | 36.7 | 23.2 | +13.5 | 1083 |

| Contract Governance | 10.7 | 6.3 | +4.4 | 1083 |
| Discoverability | 61.5 | 58.1 | +3.4 | 1083 |
| Access Clarity | 27.3 | 26.5 | +0.8 | 1083 |
A facet is averaged over the members that carry it, not over the whole cohort — the “Scored” column is that count. Averaging an absent facet as zero would score our own coverage gaps as the providers’ posture.
| Artifact | This cohort | Catalog | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP server (any) | 18% | 14% | +4 |
| MCP server (first-party) | 15% | 12% | +3 |
| Agent Skills | 0% | 0% | 0 |
| OAuth scopes | 9% | 11% | -2 |
| Security | 97% | 98% | -1 |
| Arazzo workflows | 3% | 2% | +1 |

mcp_pct counts any mcp/ artifact including ones API Evangelist derived from the provider OpenAPI; mcp_first_party_pct counts only servers the provider publishes. Prefer the latter.
