Butlr
Butlr is an AI platform for privacy-first, heat-based (thermal) occupancy sensing that turns anonymous people-sensing into real-time space-utilization insight for workplaces, senior living, higher education, retail, and smart buildings. Its camera-free thermal sensors capture no personally identifiable information while powering occupancy, traffic, presence-time, and heatmap analytics. Butlr exposes an API-first platform: a GraphQL asset-management API for sites, buildings, floors, rooms, zones, hives, and sensors; a RESTful Reporting API (v3) for historical time-series occupancy; real-time webhooks for detections, traffic, and occupancy events; and an official Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for agent access. The company reports 30,000+ deployed sensors generating a billion data points daily across 100M+ square feet in 22 countries.
Limited machine-readable signal and partial portal coverage — documentation a human can read, but little a machine or agent can consume without scraping.
API Evangelist profiles Butlr the way a machine reads it — 9 machine-readable artifacts across 2 APIs, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.
Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Butlr scores 42.7/100 (thin), with a separate agent-readiness read of 36/100 (agent aware). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.
Kin Score
This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile Butlr
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Butlr. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.
APIs 2
Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.
Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.
Butlr GraphQL API
The Butlr GraphQL API manages spatial assets and their configuration across the organization hierarchy - sites, buildings, floors, rooms, zones, hives, and sensors - plus asset ...
Butlr Reporting API
The Butlr Reporting API is a RESTful, time-series occupancy API for historical space-utilization analysis. A POST query against a windowing/filter body returns aggregated floor,...
MCP Servers 1
Model Context Protocol servers expose these APIs directly to AI agents. We profile them because agent-native access is the fastest-growing way this provider's capabilities actually get used.

MCP SERVEREvent Specifications 2
Not every API is request/response. AsyncAPI describes the event-driven and streaming side — the webhooks and channels — so the asynchronous half of the interface is documented the same way the synchronous half is.

Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.

Scopes 1
OAuth scopes are the vocabulary of least-privilege access. Profiling them shows exactly what an integration — or an agent acting on a user's behalf — is allowed to do.
