Kudosity

Kudosity is an Australian business messaging platform — formerly Burst SMS / TransmitSMS — running two live public REST APIs on two hosts. The Transmit Message API (v2) covers SMS, MMS, WhatsApp and RCS with API-managed webhooks and sender registration; the Transmit SMS API (v1) carries contacts, lists, dedicated virtual numbers, keywords, email-to-SMS and all reporting. Both share one account, one set of senders and one bill. Both ship public OpenAPI documents. What makes Kudosity unusual for its size is the agent-native surface layered on top: a hosted MCP server whose tools/list answers without credentials, llms.txt on both the docs and marketing hosts with per-section fan-out, and five published agent integrations — a Claude Code plugin, a GitHub Copilot extension, a Gemini CLI extension, an OpenClaw channel plugin and an SMS GitHub Action — all open source in a public GitHub organization. RCS is in beta; there is no voice product, no sandbox and no idempotency key.

Solid contracts, transparent operations, and an easy start — typically complete on four or five facets with one clear soft spot.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles Kudosity the way a machine reads it — 11 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 — Kudosity scores 62.2/100 (strong), with a separate agent-readiness read of 85/100 (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 Kudosity

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

Transmit Message API

Current v2 REST API covering SMS, MMS, WhatsApp and RCS, plus API-managed webhooks with event-type filtering and sender registration with phone verification. 22 operations acros...

Transmit SMS API

Classic v1 REST API — fully supported, not deprecated. SMS sending with single-request multi-recipient batches and custom tracked-link domains, plus everything v2 does not carry...

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.

Pricing Plans 1

Pricing is part of the interface. Machine-readable plans tell you what a tier costs and includes before you commit — one of the six things the Kin Score reads for commercial clarity.

Published pricing tiers and plan structures.

Rate Limits 1

Rate limits are the difference between a demo that works and a production integration that doesn't fall over. Publishing them is an operational-transparency signal — and a hard requirement for any agent that plans its own throughput.

Documented rate limits and quota policies.

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.
