Schrödinger

Schrödinger is a New York-headquartered (NASDAQ: SDGR) computational science company that develops a physics-based and AI-driven molecular simulation platform used across drug discovery and materials science. Its flagship desktop modeling environment is Maestro (MS Maestro for materials science), which integrates a deep stack of computational tools — Glide (docking), FEP+ (free energy perturbation), Desmond (molecular dynamics), Jaguar (quantum chemistry), Prime (protein structure prediction), BioLuminate (biologics), LigPrep, QikProp, SiteMap, and WaterMap — together with the Schrödinger-maintained PyMOL visualization system. LiveDesign is the cloud-native enterprise design lab where chemists, biologists, and program teams collaborate on molecules, run computational workflows, and integrate experimental data; it exposes a snap-in API framework for connecting in-house and third-party tooling. The Schrödinger Python API (current release 2026-1) is the primary developer surface, providing programmatic access to molecular structures, Maestro automation, jobcontrol, Glide, FEP+, Desmond, Jaguar, MacroModel, Prime, BioLuminate, and LiveDesign integration (login, export, dataset and column management). Schrödinger also ships KNIME extensions, command-line drivers for every computational product, and maintains a meaningful open-source footprint on GitHub — including PyMOL, maeparser, coordgenlibs, sketcher, gpusimilarity, csmiles, and the fixed-data-table-2 React component. The business has two segments — software licensing to global pharma, biotech, and materials companies, and a co-developed and proprietary drug discovery pipeline. There is no public developer signup or self-serve REST API; access to the platform, Python API, and LiveDesign is gated through commercial licensing and the my.schrodinger.com customer portal.

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 Schrödinger the way a machine reads it — 15 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 — Schrödinger scores 12.3/100 (minimal), with a separate agent-readiness read of 0/100 (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.

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.
