Sixteen years of API research as MCP tools — stories, areas, governance blocks & services
01Tools · 69
How to read this: tool names here are observed from a live tools/list handshake. The Risk label is a heuristic inferred from the tool name (write/destructive verbs), not from executing the tool — a conservative guess, not a verified capability. We never escalate risk from a description. Found one that's wrong? Tell us — we fix on report.
| Tool | Risk | Side effects | Approval |
|---|---|---|---|
| entity_demand PRO — THE INVERSION. Every other insights tool runs company -> stack; this one runs stack -> companies: which companies show demand for a given service, tool or standard, broken down by industry. This is the prospecting query — "who should I be selling this to" — and it exists in no report, bundle or page. Returns BOTH the authoritative company count and the companies it can actually name, with the basis difference explained. | read | false | unknown |
| search_api_evangelist Unified search across the whole network: 5k+ stories, 77 topic areas, 2.5k governance building blocks, papers, conversations, videos, tools, timelines, services, and vocabulary. Filter with types (posts, areas, guidance, rules, policies, standards, strategies, schema, properties, experiences, lifecycle, conversations, videos, papers, reports, services, solutions, tools, timelines, vocabulary). | read | false | unknown |
| find_related Given any doc (type + slug), the most related content across the whole network, ranked by shared-tag relevance (rare, specific tags weigh most). "More like this," across stories, areas, guidance, papers, reports, conversations, and more. | read | false | unknown |
| map_api_experience Map each REST operation to its MCP tool and Agent Skill — the API -> MCP -> Agent-Skill chain — from an APIs.json, with a free/paid coverage scorecard and a flow map. | unknown | unknown | unknown |
| get_tool One tool from the tooling registry by slug, with its website, adoption count, and radar ring. | read | false | unknown |
| find_papers API Evangelist papers — single-PDF deep dives on one practice or topic, with outlines. For market, standard, portfolio and company research use find_reports. | read | false | unknown |
| verify_certificate Re-verify a governance certificate against the API it attests to. If the API drifted or the certificate was forged, verification fails. | unknown | unknown | unknown |
| governance_report Turn Spectral findings into a self-contained HTML governance report — severity summary, grouped by rule, framed toward progress. | unknown | unknown | unknown |
| audit_pipeline Score a repository's Spectral CI setup against an 8-point maturity rubric and return a prioritized punch-list. Pass a public `repo` ("owner/name") or `files`. | read | false | unknown |
| gate_agent_context Choose which operations and fields an API exposes to agents and emit a governed Tyk OpenAPI, an MCP tool manifest, and a Spectral ruleset with PII and secret checks. | unknown | unknown | unknown |
| get_solution One solution from the vendor registry by slug, with its website and adoption count. | read | false | unknown |
| find_tools The open-source tooling registry — 400+ tools in use across the companies API Evangelist tracks, each with adoption counts and technology-radar placement. | read | false | unknown |
| get_service Full detail for one service offering by slug; include=["content"] inlines the full pitch. | read | false | unknown |
| insights_dimensions Cross-section ranking of the 40 tracked investment dimensions (AI, cloud, governance, …) by company signal. Free. | unknown | unknown | unknown |
| forge_mcp_tools From an OpenAPI, forge an MCP server design, per-operation tools, Agent Skills, an enriched OpenAPI, a server.json, and apis.json properties. | unknown | unknown | unknown |
| find_posts Search or browse 5,100+ API Evangelist stories (2010–present); filter by year or tags. | read | false | unknown |
| company_gaps A company's weakest investment dimensions — where it is thin. Pro. | unknown | unknown | unknown |
| mock_payloads Generate an example request and success-response payload for every operation from its schema. | unknown | unknown | unknown |
| score_reusability Score how reusable a set of APIs is and detect duplication across them — the anti-sprawl view of an estate. | read | false | unknown |
| certify_api Issue a tamper-evident governance certificate attesting an API passed a named ruleset at a profile threshold. A SHA-256 fingerprint lets anyone re-verify it. | unknown | unknown | unknown |
| code_snippets Generate runnable curl, JavaScript, and Python samples for every operation, with path params filled in and a realistic body. | unknown | unknown | unknown |
| generate_agent_descriptor Generate an API's llms.txt and an AGENTS.md consumption contract — base URL, auth, the operation table, deprecated operations to avoid, and usage rules. | unknown | unknown | unknown |
| get_stats PRO — catalog intelligence: per-type counts, stories-per-year, and the top tags by reach across the network. | read | false | unknown |
| get_video One video by slug with its YouTube id; include=["content"] returns the full transcript. | read | false | unknown |
| validate_onboarding Validate an API Onboarding Descriptor (AID) against the api-commons schema and report which optional sections it fills in. | unknown | unknown | unknown |
| export_agent_rules Turn a governance ruleset into agent-native guidance — an AGENTS.md block, a system-prompt set, a per-rule remediation pack, and a digest — so agents follow the rules while authoring, not after linting. | unknown | unknown | unknown |
| get_contact Every way to reach API Evangelist — email, contact form, newsletter, GitHub, social channels, and postal mail. | read | false | unknown |
| get_conversation One conversation with guest detail and media links; include=["content"] returns the writeup. | read | false | unknown |
| get_feeds The static machine-readable feeds every network site publishes (JSON, APIs.json, zero-auth) — the no-key alternative to this API. | read | false | unknown |
| classify_api_fields Inventory the PII, secret, and sensitive fields an OpenAPI exposes, across parameters and request/response schemas. Run this before exposing an API to agents. | unknown | unknown | unknown |
| api_coverage Measure how much of an API description your governance actually inspects — coverage by section, each rule's reach, and the rules that match nothing. Like test coverage, one altitude up. | unknown | unknown | unknown |
| find_conversations API Evangelist Conversations — recorded discussions with API practitioners (guest, company, YouTube/SoundCloud links). | read | false | unknown |
| get_timeline One of the four research timelines in chronological order: api (the moments that shaped web APIs), resources (which digital resources became APIs and when), industries (the industrial history framing API infrastructure), people (the people who made compute and APIs possible). | read | false | unknown |
| insights_adoption Services, tools, or standards ranked by how many companies adopt them. Free. | unknown | unknown | unknown |
| validate_api Lint an OpenAPI, AsyncAPI, Arazzo, or JSON Schema document against the curated best-of-breed ruleset (Spectral) and return the findings. Pass your own `ruleset` to run rules you own instead of the catalog — which is what you should do before gating on anything. | unknown | unknown | unknown |

| get_paper One paper with its full outline and purchase/landing URL. | read | false | unknown |
| find_reports API Evangelist Reports — measured research bundles, every company named and banded on the Kin Score, each shipping a machine-readable data bundle. Four kinds, filter with report_type: trends (one market — an industry, a country cut or a technology cohort), standards (one standards body, free), portfolios (one fund's book), profiles (one company, for the vendor selling into it). | read | false | unknown |
| get_guidance_section One editorial guidance section as a list: history, technology, business, politics, governance, or evangelism — the six lenses API Evangelist organizes guidance through. | read | false | unknown |
| find_videos The API Evangelist video library — interviews and discussions from across the API space, searchable by transcript. | read | false | unknown |
| govern_estate PRO — Run the core governance checks across a WHOLE SET of internal APIs and roll them up: per-API score/grade/errors/PII, plus estate aggregates (avg score, grade distribution, APIs with PII/secrets) and a worst-first punch-list of what to fix. Pass `apis` ([{id, document}]) and your own `ruleset`. detail:true adds per-API dimensions. | read | false | unknown |
| diff_api_versions Compare two OpenAPI versions and classify every change as breaking, non-breaking, or an addition — at path, operation, parameter, request-body, and response granularity. | unknown | unknown | unknown |
| find_areas The 77 focused topic areas of the network (agents, gateways, security, …), each a subsite with its own catalog. | read | false | unknown |
| get_tag One tag with its per-type counts and everything it labels across the whole network (stories, areas, guidance, papers, reports, …). Filter with types. | read | false | unknown |
| get_area One topic area with its related-area graph resolved — walk the network from here. | read | false | unknown |

| api_scorecard Score an API's maturity 0-100 with a letter grade across design, governance coverage, documentation, and (from an apis.json) discoverability, agent-readiness, and operations. Pass your own `ruleset` — a score against rules you never adopted means little. | unknown | unknown | unknown |
| get_overview START HERE. What the API Evangelist network offers: sixteen years of API research as searchable stories, 77 topic areas, governance building blocks (guidance, rules, policies, standards, strategies), papers, measured reports, conversations, and the consulting services Kin Lane offers teams. Returns counts, entry points, and how to engage. | read | false | unknown |
| guide_topic PRO — Curated guide to one API topic (e.g. "gateways", "api governance", "discovery", "agents"). Bundles the matching topic area (with related areas), top guidance, rules, policies, and standards, relevant papers and recent stories, plus the API Evangelist services that can help a team with this topic. | unknown | unknown | unknown |
| find_tags Browse and rank the network tag taxonomy — every subject tag across 16k+ docs, by frequency or breadth (how many content types use it). Search with q. The map of what API Evangelist covers. | read | false | unknown |
| get_post One story by slug (YYYY-MM-DD-slug); include=["content"] returns the full markdown body. | write | true | unknown |
| find_company_insights Browse profiled companies (Fortune 1000 + API providers) by name; ranked by technology-readiness signal. Free. | read | false | unknown |
| get_building_block One building block by type + slug; include=["content"] returns the full body. | read | false | unknown |
| deprecation_posture Report every deprecated operation and whether it actually announces a sunset. The ones that go quiet are the ones that break consumers. | unknown | unknown | unknown |
| apply_overlay Apply an OpenAPI Overlay to a document and report what each action matched. Use it for deprecation and migration choreography without forking the contract. | unknown | unknown | unknown |
| find_services The services API Evangelist offers teams and customers — API strategy, governance, discovery, and evangelism engagements by Kin Lane. The front door to working with API Evangelist. (For the third-party vendor registry, use find_solutions.) | read | false | unknown |
| get_report One report with its full outline, price and landing URL. Standard Reports are free; the rest are paid, and the landing page carries the checkout. | read | false | unknown |
| find_building_blocks Search the governance building blocks by type: guidance (177), rules (617), policies (283), standards (432), strategies (75), schema (11), properties (790), experiences (46), lifecycle (29). | read | false | unknown |
| company_dimensions PRO — a company's investment dimensions, each read AGAINST the measured cohort: the cohort median, mean and max, this company's rank and percentile, and an index where 1.0 is exactly typical. A raw dimension score is unreadable on its own; these are the columns that make it mean something. | read | false | unknown |
| company_peers PRO — the companies most comparable to this one (same sub-sector where the data supports it, same industry otherwise), each with signal totals and top dimensions. The response says which basis it used. | unknown | unknown | unknown |
| company_whitespace PRO — what this company's peers run that it does not, ranked by how many peers carry it. The opening list for a vendor selling into the account. | read | false | unknown |
| company_signals PRO — the company's adopted stack entity by entity (services, tools, standards), each with how many companies across the cohort carry it and its radar ring. | unknown | unknown | unknown |
| find_entities Browse the demand-side entity catalog — every service, tool and standard companies are measured against, ranked by how many carry it. Free. This is the left-hand side of the inversion: pick an entity here, then call entity_demand to see WHO. | read | false | unknown |
| find_measured_standards The standards bodies API Evangelist has actually MEASURED — repositories, maturity, governance, coalition. Distinct from find_standards, which searches 613 catalog entries describing what a standard IS. Free. | read | false | unknown |
| standard_adoption How far a standards body actually got: repositories published, how many graduated past unclassified and the resulting share, release cadence, contributor count — with the provenance of every figure and an explicit list of what is NOT measured. Free, because a specification is a public good. | read | false | unknown |
| standard_coalition Who is actually behind a standard: the governing bodies and their membership, the working groups, the member companies, and the named people. Carries the caveats where our machine-readable source disagrees with the body's own published roster. Free. | unknown | unknown | unknown |
| standard_repositories Every repository a standards body publishes, with maturity, stars, forks, open issues and archived status. Free. | read | false | unknown |
| find_vocabulary The API vocabulary — thousands of resources, actions, personas, domains, schemas, and tags extracted from the API landscape. Filter by category. | read | false | unknown |
