Cumbuca
Cumbuca is a Banco Central do Brasil-licensed Payment Institution that provides regulated "proxy" access to Brazil's Pix and Open Finance networks. Acting as a thin, transparent layer with a 1:1 mapping to the official Open Finance Brasil and Central Bank API specifications, it forwards cryptographically signed requests between client infrastructure and the regulated ecosystem so fintechs can build directly on the rails without holding their own license (zero lock-in via certificate swap when they obtain one). Capabilities span Pix payment initiation, Open Finance account and credit-data access, recurring payments, and SCR credit-information queries, with a 0ms median latency overhead and a 99.99% availability SLA. Founded in 2021 in Sao Paulo and backed by Lightspeed Venture Partners and Y Combinator, Cumbuca also ships an Open Finance Data MCP server, the Regulus regulatory AI assistant, public status pages, and the open-source Open Finance Playground developer guide built with Juspay.
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 Cumbuca the way a machine reads it — 5 machine-readable artifacts, 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 — Cumbuca scores 30.4/100 (thin), with a separate agent-readiness read of 27/100 (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. Every facet and dimension name is a link: it opens that measurement's page on APIs.io, where the rating runs across the whole catalog — the exact checks that feed it, how every profiled provider distributes on it, and who is at the top of it.

How we profile Cumbuca
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Cumbuca. 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.
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.

Open Finance Data MCP
Hosted, remote MCP server that connects a user's Brazilian bank accounts to an AI assistant (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor) through Open Finance. Exposes bank statement and credit-car...
MCP SERVERSecurity Posture 3
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.

This is an independent, third-party profile of Cumbuca, 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.
