Cohort brief
Auto-generatedThe 48 providers in the APIs.io catalog tagged Reference Data, scored on the Kin Score. Every figure below is computed from the catalog — nothing here is written.
| Facet | This cohort | Catalog | Difference | Scored |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Developer Ergonomics | 49.7 | 23.2 | +26.5 | 48 |
| Operational Transparency | 31.9 | 13.7 | +18.2 | 48 |

| Discoverability | 69.7 | 58.1 | +11.6 | 48 |
| Contract Governance | 12.4 | 6.3 | +6.1 | 48 |
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) | 23% | 14% | +9 |
| MCP server (first-party) | 21% | 12% | +9 |

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.
