Garten

garten (styled lowercase; formerly Oh My Green) is a workplace food and wellbeing company founded in 2014 by Michael Heinrich and backed by Y Combinator, headquartered in the San Francisco Bay Area. It runs turn-key office micro-kitchens and pantries (garten Kitchen), self-serve micro-markets with cashless checkout kiosks (garten Market), corporate catering and cafe management (garten Catering), and virtual and on-site wellbeing programming (garten Wellbeing, plus the garten TV streaming property), serving employers including Google, Nike, Ford and Autodesk across roughly twenty US metros. garten was acquired by the chef-driven catering platform HUNGRY in 2025. garten publishes no public developer portal, API reference, SDK or machine-readable REST contract: its client ordering surface at client.garten.co / api.garten.co is a credentialed Spree/Solidus commerce application whose API rejects anonymous calls with "You must specify an API key." The one genuinely public, machine-readable agent surface sits on its Uscreen-powered streaming property garten TV (tv.garten.co), which serves a Model Context Protocol server at /mcp guarded by a full OAuth 2.1 stack: RFC 9728 protected-resource metadata, RFC 8414 authorization-server metadata, PKCE S256, RFC 7591 dynamic client registration, RFC 8707 resource indicators, and seven named read/write scopes.

agent aware

More than an index entry, but the surface is still mostly links rather than artifacts — the cohort most likely to move a full band from modest, well-targeted work.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles Garten the way a machine reads it — 5 machine-readable artifacts across 1 API, 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 — Garten scores 21.1/100 (emerging), with a separate agent-readiness read of 20/100 (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 Garten

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Garten. 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 1

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.

garten TV MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol server published on garten's own host at https://tv.garten.co/mcp, serving the garten TV wellness-video property. The endpoint is provided by the Uscree...

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 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.

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.

Where this information came from

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