Percolata

Percolata is a Palo Alto, California predictive-analytics company that applies machine learning to help retailers optimize labor scheduling and marketing spend. Its platform forecasts hourly sales, in-store traffic, and takeout demand to drive staffing optimization and marketing budget allocation, with published claims of 4x higher forecast accuracy, 10-20% same-store sales lift, and a forecast-accuracy guarantee. Named customers include 7-Eleven, Uniqlo, and Telefonica. The company is backed by Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) and Google Ventures (GV). Percolata does not publish a public developer portal or REST API reference; its retail platform is delivered as a managed product with custom application integration. The percolata.com marketing site is now served by Wix, which provisions a live, first-party Model Context Protocol (MCP) endpoint and an llms.txt for agentic access to public site content.

human only

Index entry only — little beyond a description and a link, and nothing machine-readable enough for an agent to act on without a human reading the site first.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles Percolata 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 — Percolata scores 12.1/100 (minimal), 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 Percolata

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

Security 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.
