DocSend

DocSend is a secure document sharing and analytics platform, now part of Dropbox, used by sales, marketing, and fundraising teams to share pitch decks, sales collateral, and confidential documents through trackable links. It provides page-by-page viewer analytics, granular access controls (email verification, passcodes, expiration, watermarking), virtual data rooms, and e-signature. DocSend was surfaced as a portfolio company of Cowboy Ventures, DCM Ventures, and Uncork Capital and enriched by the API Evangelist pipeline. Enrichment confirmed a live, OAuth-secured hosted Model Context Protocol (MCP) server at mcp.docsend.com backed by RFC 8414 authorization-server discovery, dynamic client registration (RFC 7591), and PKCE.

agent aware

Index entry only — little beyond a description and a link, and nothing machine-readable enough for an agent to act on without a human reading the site first.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles DocSend 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 — DocSend scores 13.8/100 (minimal), with a separate agent-readiness read of 25/100 (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 DocSend

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

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.

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.
