Leaft Foods

Leaft Foods is a New Zealand food-technology company, founded in 2019 by John Penno and Maury Leyland Penno and headquartered in Rolleston in the Selwyn district near Christchurch, that extracts Rubisco — the protein that drives photosynthesis and the most abundant protein on Earth — from green leafy crops such as lucerne. Its proprietary platform turns leaves into a neutral-tasting, highly digestible protein sold as the Leaft Blade consumer beverage, as a Rubisco protein isolate ingredient for food manufacturers, and as an Alfalfa Protein Concentrate for pet nutrition. The company raised a US$15M Series A led by Khosla Ventures. Its digital surface is a Shopify storefront that publishes a real agent-facing commerce API — a Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP) discovery document, an MCP endpoint for catalog, cart and checkout, an llms.txt / agents.md agent instruction set, and OpenID Connect discovery for customer accounts.

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 Leaft Foods 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 — Leaft Foods scores 15.3/100 (emerging), with a separate agent-readiness read of 0/100 (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.

How we profile Leaft Foods

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

MCP Servers 2

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.

Model Context Protocol servers that expose these APIs to AI agents.

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.
