Drippay

Drippay, Inc. ("drip") is a Y Combinator company (YC P26) building two connected products. drip is a local-first Mac app that turns LinkedIn, iMessage, and email conversations into a self-filling CRM with AI drafting, follow-up, and meeting booking. The Drip API is a usage-based billing and execution-ledger platform for AI agents — a Stripe-like metering and monetization backend exposing customers, subscriptions, pricing plans, billable metrics, usage events, invoices, credit notes, coupons, entitlements, charges, dunning, tax, contracts, drift detection, and webhooks over a REST interface at api.drippay.dev. It ships official Node, Python, and C++ SDKs, an idempotency-key contract, cursor pagination, a hosted MCP server, and a SOC 2 Type I security posture monitored with Vanta.

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 Drippay the way a machine reads it — 30 machine-readable artifacts across 23 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 — Drippay scores 57.5/100 (developing), with a separate agent-readiness read of 67/100 (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 Drippay

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Drippay. 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 23

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.

Drippay BillableMetrics API

Evaluate and preview billable metrics.

Drippay Business API

Business-level settings and configuration.

Manage webhook endpoints for real-time event notifications.

Drippay Workflows API

Define workflow templates for agent execution.

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.

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 4

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.
