Loop

Loop is a full-stack, AI-powered logistics data platform that unifies the fragmented operational and financial data of the physical economy. Founded by former Uber Freight leaders Matt McKinney and Shaosu Liu, Loop began in freight audit and payment and has expanded into an intelligence layer spanning freight audit, parcel and carrier-invoice auditing, real-time shipment visibility, parcel contract optimization, carrier payments, and autonomous exception management (DUX and the Exception Agent). The Loop developer platform exposes a REST API (api.loop.com/v1) for ingesting artifacts (invoices, shipment records, purchase orders), resolving business exceptions, managing organizations and factoring/invoicing relationships, and reading payable/receivable invoices and payments, plus a separate Onboarding API and Svix-based webhooks. Loop has raised $210M total, including a $95M Series C, from Valor Equity Partners, 8VC, Founders Fund, Index Ventures, J.P. Morgan Growth Equity, and others.

Real signal across most facets with visible, nameable gaps — the contract exists but is thin, or the portal is good while governance and commercial terms are absent.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles Loop the way a machine reads it — 19 machine-readable artifacts across 14 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 — Loop scores 52.6/100 (developing), with a separate agent-readiness read of 80/100 (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 Loop

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Loop. 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 14

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 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.

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.

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.

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.
