Colossal Biosciences
Colossal Biosciences is a Dallas, Texas based de-extinction and species-preservation biotechnology company founded in 2021 by Ben Lamm and Harvard geneticist George Church. It applies ancient-DNA sequencing, comparative genomics, CRISPR multiplex genome editing, cloning and artificial-womb research to restoring extinct keystone species — the woolly mammoth, thylacine, dodo, moa, dire wolf and blue buck among them — and to conserving critically endangered living species. Colossal spun out the computational life-sciences platform Form Bio, runs the non-profit Colossal Foundation, and publishes its research code through the colossal-compsci GitHub organization. Colossal publishes no product or developer API; the machine-readable surface on colossal.com is the WordPress REST API (wp/v2) that serves the company newsroom, pages, media and site search as JSON, plus a WordPress MCP Adapter endpoint that is present but authentication-gated.
More than an index entry, but the surface is still mostly links rather than artifacts — the cohort most likely to move a full band from modest, well-targeted work.
API Evangelist profiles Colossal Biosciences the way a machine reads it — 26 machine-readable artifacts across 11 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 — Colossal Biosciences scores 24.8/100 (emerging), with a separate agent-readiness read of 29/100 (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 Colossal Biosciences
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Colossal Biosciences. 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 11
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.
Colossal Biosciences MCP Server (WordPress MCP Adapter)
A Model Context Protocol server endpoint advertised in the colossal.com WordPress REST route index under the "mcp" namespace and served at /wp-json/mcp/mcp-adapter-default-serve...

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 SERVERSecurity 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.
Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals.
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.
Recommended x-agentic-access execution contracts for AI agents.

This is an independent, third-party profile of Colossal Biosciences, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.
The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.
Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
