M-Files
M-Files is a metadata-driven document and information management platform that connects documents to their business context, turning disconnected files into connected, trusted information. It provides AI-powered document management with built-in governance, workflow and document automation, and compliance, and integrates deeply with Microsoft 365. Trusted by 6,000+ organizations, M-Files exposes developer access through the M-Files Web Service (MFWS) REST API, a COM/.NET API, and the UIX and Vault Application Framework (VAF) extensibility frameworks. It was surfaced as a portfolio company of Partech.
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 M-Files the way a machine reads it — 5 machine-readable artifacts across 1 API, 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 — M-Files scores 31.8/100 (thin), with a separate agent-readiness read of 14/100 (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 M-Files
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for M-Files. 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 1
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.
M-Files Web Service (MFWS) REST API
JSON over HTTPS REST API for the M-Files information management platform. Served per M-Files Server / Cloud vault under a /REST/ base path; supports objects, files, vaults, view...
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.
