MX

MX Technologies is a privately held financial data platform headquartered in Lehi, Utah, operating as a B2B data aggregator and open-finance infrastructure provider rather than a chartered bank or credit union. MX connects consumer and business accounts across tens of thousands of financial institutions and fintechs, then cleanses, categorizes, and enhances the resulting transaction data so banks and fintechs can build verification, aggregation, and personal-finance experiences. Unlike most US banks, MX runs a real, self-documented developer surface — the MX Platform API (HTTP Basic auth over https://api.mx.com), a Consent Management API, and a Data Access product that shares and consumes institution data using FDX and OAuth standards — with downloadable OpenAPI 3.0 specifications published at docs.mx.com. MX is one of the major US open-finance aggregators (alongside Plaid, Finicity, and Akoya) and positions Data Access as FDX-conformant, consumer-permissioned, tokenized data sharing.

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 MX the way a machine reads it — 10 machine-readable artifacts across 3 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 — MX scores 61.3/100 (strong), with a separate agent-readiness read of 59/100 (agent ready). 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 MX

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for MX. 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 3

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.

The MX Platform API aggregates and enhances financial data, connecting apps and websites to tens of thousands of financial institutions. Covers users, members, accounts, transac...

MX Consent Management API

API for embedding the MX consent management dashboard into a customer-facing experience, letting consumers grant, modify, and revoke access to their financial data. OpenAPI 3.0,...

MX Data Access

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.

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.

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 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.
