Lica
Lica is an AI research company building a substrate to train and evaluate AI models to be capable design partners across expressions of taste and consumption. Its research spans spatial reasoning and composition, layout generation and editing, vector-graphics (SVG) understanding, personalization and brand identity, and animation generation. Lica publishes the LICA dataset of layered graphic-design compositions and GDB (Graphic Design Benchmark), a real-world benchmark that scores frontier models on designer workflows across layout, typography, infographics, template semantics and animation. The company is backed by Accel, South Park Commons and Village Global. As of July 2026 Lica ships no public API, developer portal or API reference; product access is an email waitlist and its public developer surface is the lica-world GitHub organization, including the first-party DesignMCP MCP server.
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.
API Evangelist profiles Lica the way a machine reads it — 2 machine-readable artifacts, 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 — Lica scores 16.5/100 (emerging), with a separate agent-readiness read of 12/100 (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 Lica
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Lica. 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.
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.

MCP SERVERSecurity Posture 1
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.
