Crowd.dev
Crowd.dev is an open-source developer data platform that centralizes community, product, and commercial data to unify contributor identities, resolve who is engaging with an open-source project, and activate that data for developer relations and community-led growth. Founded in Berlin and backed by Seedcamp, crowd.dev was acquired by the Linux Foundation in April 2024 and now powers the LFX Community Data Platform (CDP). The codebase is Apache-2.0 open source at github.com/CrowdDotDev (now linuxfoundation/crowd.dev), and the CDP Public API exposes transactional REST endpoints for member and organization profiles, identity verification, work-experience and project-affiliation management, contributor affiliation lookups, and open-source package/stewardship intelligence.
Solid contracts, transparent operations, and an easy start — typically complete on four or five facets with one clear soft spot.
API Evangelist profiles Crowd.dev the way a machine reads it — 40 machine-readable artifacts across 16 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 — Crowd.dev scores 58.4/100 (strong), with a separate agent-readiness read of 48/100 (agent ready). 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 Crowd.dev
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Crowd.dev. 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 16
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.
Crowd.dev Advisories API
Security advisories for a package, split out of package detail. The draft contract gates these behind a dedicated read:advisories scope; until Auth0 issues it, the implementatio...
Crowd.dev Affiliations API
Bulk contributor affiliation lookups by GitHub handle.
Crowd.dev Contacts API
Security contacts for a package — includes contact PII (e.g. reporter emails). The contract gates these behind a dedicated cdp:maintainers:read scope and forbids reaching them v...
Crowd.dev Dashboard API
KPI bar metrics and activity feed.
Crowd.dev Maintainer Roles API
Retrieve maintainer roles for a member.
Crowd.dev Member Affiliations API API
API endpoints for managing project affiliations, including listing and bulk updating affiliation relationships within a profile.
Crowd.dev Member Identities API
Manage and verify member identities across platforms.
Crowd.dev Member Organizations API API
API endpoints for managing work history organizations, including creating, reading, updating, and deleting organization relationships for profiles.
Crowd.dev Members API
Resolve member profiles by identity.
Crowd.dev Organizations API
Look up and create organizations.
Crowd.dev Packages API
Package detail — requires read:packages and read:stewardships (see TODO above).
Crowd.dev Project Affiliations API
View and override per-project affiliation data for a member.
Crowd.dev Stewardship Actions API
Admin-initiated stewardship mutations.
Crowd.dev Stewardship API
Stewardship state — individual and batch.
Crowd.dev Stewardships API
Open, assign, escalate, and update stewardship status.
Crowd.dev Work Experiences API
Manage and verify member work experiences (organization affiliations).

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.

crowddev-mcp.yml
MCP SERVERPricing Plans 1
Pricing is part of the interface. Machine-readable plans tell you what a tier costs and includes before you commit — one of the six things the Kin Score reads for commercial clarity.
Published pricing tiers and plan structures.
Rate Limits 1
Rate limits are the difference between a demo that works and a production integration that doesn't fall over. Publishing them is an operational-transparency signal — and a hard requirement for any agent that plans its own throughput.
Documented rate limits and quota policies.
Crowddev Rate Limits
RATE LIMITSSecurity 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.
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.
OAuth scopes governing access to this provider's APIs.
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 Crowd.dev, 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.
