Plans
The API Evangelist API and MCP server are built on sixteen years of independent API research. Discovery is free. The research depth — full content, curated guides, and catalog intelligence — is Pro.
| Free | Pro | Team | Enterprise | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Price | $0 | $29/mo | $149/mo | Contact |
| Access | Discovery — search, browse, tags, related, summaries | Everything, incl. full content, /guide, /stats | Everything in Pro | Everything + advisory |
| Keys | Keyless | 1 key | Multiple keys | Negotiated |
| Rate limit | 1,000 req/day | 5,000 req/day | 25,000 req/day | Custom |
| Support | Community | Priority email | Kin, directly |
Pro and Team unlock the same capabilities — Team adds multiple keys, higher limits, and priority support for a group. Enterprise pairs API access with Kin Lane's advisory engagements. Prices are introductory; annual billing and volume pricing are available on request.
Free
Everything you need to discover and navigate the network, keyless:
- Search & browse every content type — 5,100+ stories, 77 topic areas, 2,500+ governance building blocks, papers, conversations, videos, solutions, tools, and vocabulary.
- Summaries & metadata for every item (title, summary, tags, links).
- Tag taxonomy —
/tagsand/tags/{slug}: the map of everything API Evangelist covers. - Related content —
/{type}/{slug}/related: the shared-tag relevance graph across the network. - Contact & feeds — every way to engage, plus the static JSON feeds.
Rate limits: 5 req/s, 1,000 req/day. No key required.
Pro
The research layer — for teams and agents that need the depth, not just the map:
| Capability | Endpoint / tool | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Full research content | ?include=content on any item | The complete markdown bodies and transcripts — the actual research, ready to quote and synthesize. |
| Curated topic guides | /guide?topic= · guide_topic | One call bundles the topic area, top guidance/rules/policies/standards, papers, recent stories, and the services that can help. |
| Catalog intelligence | /stats · get_stats | Per-type counts, stories-per-year, and the top tags by reach across the network. |
Pro also unlocks the paid MCP prompts (research_topic, governance_starter_kit,
vendor_landscape) and the ae://stats / ae://guide/{topic} MCP resources.
Getting started with Pro
To start a Pro ($29/mo) or Team ($149/mo) plan, email [email protected] with the plan you want and a short note on what you're building — Kin Lane will get you a key and set up billing.

Work directly with API Evangelist
The API and MCP are one way to tap the research. The other is working with Kin Lane directly — API strategy, governance, discovery, and evangelism engagements drawn from the same sixteen years. See the services or email [email protected].
