Serverless
Serverless, Inc. builds the Serverless Framework, the original and most widely adopted open-source tool for building, deploying and operating serverless applications on AWS Lambda and other managed cloud services. It pairs a YAML-configured, multi-language command-line interface with a Dashboard for monitoring and CI/CD, a large plugin ecosystem, and an MCP server that gives AI assistants access to infrastructure metrics, configuration and logs across Serverless Framework, AWS CloudFormation and SAM stacks. The company is based in San Francisco and backed by Lightspeed Venture Partners and Trinity Ventures.
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 Serverless the way a machine reads it — 4 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 — Serverless scores 36.3/100 (thin), 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 Serverless
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Serverless. 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.

MCP SERVERSecurity Posture 3
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.
