Kraken Technologies
Kraken Technologies is the United Kingdom energy technology company behind Kraken, the licensed cloud operating system for utilities. Founded in 2016 inside Octopus Energy and spun out as an independent business, Kraken says it supports more than 90 million customer accounts for licensees including E.ON Next, EDF, Origin, Tokyo Gas, National Grid, Good Energy, Plenitude, Energy Queensland, Essential Energy, Portsmouth Water and TalkTalk across electricity, gas, water and broadband. It sits one layer behind the utility rather than in front of the consumer: it does not hold a supply licence, does not settle in the wholesale market and does not publish grid or market data, so the retailers and networks it powers carry the regulatory obligations, not Kraken. Its API posture matches that position and is honestly closed. The Open Kraken programme publicly advertises APIs, events, embedded apps, Flow automation and an MCP-based AI access layer, but every reference surface is gated: docs.kraken.tech forces SSO login on every path, no base URL or endpoint is published anywhere, the Tako design-system package requires a private npm token issued by email, and the Marketplace runs under signed access-and-use terms. There is no self-serve developer signup, no consumer data-portability API of its own, and no open market data.
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 Kraken Technologies the way a machine reads it — 7 machine-readable artifacts across 2 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 — Kraken Technologies scores 29.8/100 (thin), with a separate agent-readiness read of 3/100 (human only). 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 Kraken Technologies
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Kraken Technologies. 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 2
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.
Open Kraken APIs and Events
Open Kraken is the integration layer of the Kraken utility operating system. Kraken publicly describes it as "APIs, events and MCP" for building apps and experiences against dat...
Open Kraken AI Access Layer (MCP)
An AI access layer that Kraken announced as an expansion of Open Kraken, built using the Model Context Protocol and described as MCP gateways that let a utility's own AI agents ...
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.

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.

This is an independent, third-party profile of Kraken Technologies, 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.
