Campfire

Campfire is an AI-native ERP built for high-growth startups and mid-market finance teams outgrowing QuickBooks or Xero, or replacing NetSuite and Sage Intacct. It automates core accounting work — general ledger, bank reconciliation, accounts payable and receivable, revenue recognition, close management, and financial reporting — with an AI assistant (Ember). Campfire ships developer-first REST APIs (188 paths / 362 operations across Cash Management, Core Accounting, Accounts Payable/Receivable, Revenue Recognition, Financial Statements, and Integrations), an official hosted Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, and outbound webhooks. Founded 2023; backed by Accel, Ribbit Capital, Foundation Capital, Capital49, and Y Combinator.

Real signal across most facets with visible, nameable gaps — the contract exists but is thin, or the portal is good while governance and commercial terms are absent.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles Campfire the way a machine reads it — 18 machine-readable artifacts across 12 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 — Campfire scores 49.1/100 (developing), with a separate agent-readiness read of 84/100 (agent native). 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 Campfire

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Campfire. 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 12

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.

Campfire Accounts Payable API

Operations related to billing and the AP subledger.

Campfire Accounts Receivable API

Operations related to invoicing and the AR subledger

Campfire Bank Reconciliation API

The Bank Reconciliation API from Campfire — 6 operation(s) for bank reconciliation.

Campfire Cash Management API

Operations related to accounts, transactions, and other bank-related data.

Campfire coa API

The coa API from Campfire — 1 operation(s) for coa.

Campfire Company Objects API

The Company Objects API from Campfire — 21 operation(s) for company objects.

Campfire Core Accounting API

Operations related to core accounting data, such as the chart of accounts, entity management, and the general ledger.

Campfire Custom Fields API

Campfire Financial Statements API

Operations related to financial statement generation and data aggregation.

Campfire Integrations API

The Integrations API from Campfire — 3 operation(s) for integrations.

Campfire Revenue Recognition API

Operations related to revenue recognition, contract management, and contract data aggregation.

Campfire Settings API

Operations related to system and accounting settings configuration.

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.

Event Specifications 1

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.

AsyncAPI definitions for this provider's event-driven and streaming APIs.

Security Posture 2

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.

Agentic Access 1

An x-agentic-access contract marks which operations are safe for an agent to run on its own and which need a human in the loop. It is the difference between an API an agent can use and one it can use safely.
