Code Ocean

Code Ocean is a computational research platform that helps scientists, engineers, and research organizations produce, manage, and reproduce computational science at scale. Its cloud environment centers on three resources — Capsules and Pipelines (self-contained, versioned compute environments that bundle code, data, environment, and results), Computations (tracked runs of those capsules and pipelines), and Data Assets (versioned datasets and captured results). Code Ocean exposes a REST API, an official Python SDK, and an official Model Context Protocol (MCP) server so teams can automate reproducible research, integrate the platform into data pipelines, and drive capsules and data assets from agents. The company was surfaced as a Battery Ventures portfolio company and is widely used across life sciences, biotech, and academic research computing.

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 Code Ocean

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Code Ocean. 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 3

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.

Code Ocean Capsules API

Reproducible compute capsules and pipelines

Code Ocean Computations API

Runs of capsules and pipelines

Code Ocean Data Assets API

Versioned datasets and result data

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.

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.
