Dedalus Labs

Dedalus Labs builds infrastructure for AI agents. It runs two production APIs: the Dedalus Agents API, an OpenAI-compatible MCP gateway that lets you mix and match any model from any provider with tools drawn from the Dedalus MCP marketplace (chat completions, embeddings, audio, images, and OCR through one endpoint); and Dedalus Cloud Services (Dedalus Machines), persistent Linux VMs for agents that start in under a second, preserve their filesystem and memory across sleep/wake, and bill per second with no idle tax. Both APIs authenticate with a Dedalus API key (Bearer or x-api-key), support idempotent mutations, and ship official SDKs in TypeScript, Python, and Go plus a CLI and Terraform provider. Dedalus is a portfolio company of Kindred Ventures.

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 Dedalus Labs the way a machine reads it — 24 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 — Dedalus Labs scores 58.8/100 (developing), with a separate agent-readiness read of 87/100 (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 Dedalus Labs

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Dedalus Labs. 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.

Arazzo Workflows 2

Real integrations are rarely a single call. Arazzo describes the multi-step sequences — auth, then create, then confirm — so both a human and an agent can follow the choreography, not just the endpoints.

Multi-step API workflows described with the Arazzo specification.

Create a Dedalus Machine, run a command, and sleep it

Provision a persistent Linux VM, execute a command, read the output, then sleep it to pause billing.

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.

Model Context Protocol servers that expose these APIs to AI agents.

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 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.

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.
