Cohort brief
Auto-generatedThe 102 providers in the APIs.io catalog tagged Recommendations, scored on the Kin Score. Every figure below is computed from the catalog — nothing here is written.
| Facet | This cohort | Catalog | Difference | Scored |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Contract Quality | 39.5 | 17.5 | +22 | 102 |
| Developer Ergonomics | 38.9 | 17.9 | +21 | 102 |
| Access Clarity | 39.8 | 22.3 | +17.5 | 102 |
| Operational Transparency | 24.3 | 11.3 | +13 | 102 |
| Discoverability | 71.3 | 60.4 | +10.9 | 102 |
| Contract Governance | 16.3 | 6.4 | +9.9 | 102 |
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) | 40% | 16% | +24 |
| MCP server (first-party) | 25% | 7% | +18 |

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.
