Pricing research your agent can run.
Connect through REST or MCP to create studies, manage their lifecycle, monitor fieldwork, and work from deterministic results.
Choose a connection
REST API
Base URL
https://api.kineticpricing.com/v1The REST API fits hosted integrations, backend services, and HTTP-based agent platforms. Plain JSON over HTTPS, stable error envelopes, and explicit idempotency on writes.
It accepts OAuth access tokens and scoped Kinetic API access tokens, so it serves both user-authorized clients and installed integrations.
MCP
Endpoint
https://mcp.kineticpricing.com/mcpBuilt for MCP-capable agent hosts.
Uses OAuth and current MCP protocol negotiation, and exposes capability discovery, schemas, annotations, tasks, and URL interactions.
Static kp_live_ tokens do not work on MCP.
Platform adapters
Platforms that store a fixed secret at install time connect through the REST API with a scoped Kinetic API access token.
Authentication
Three credential paths cover every integration shape. All three resolve to the same capability registry with the same enforcement.
OAuth with PKCE
A person authorizes your client through the standard Authorization Code flow with PKCE. The agent then acts for that signed-in user, within the scopes the user approved.
Service accounts
Approved Workspace automation authenticates with client credentials bound to one workspace. Workspace owners create and rotate these from the workspace surface.
Kinetic API access tokens
REST integrations that hold a fixed secret use a scoped kp_live_ token. Any signed-in user creates one in Integrations, bounded by the authority their current role holds. Create a token in Integrations
- You can grant only authority you currently hold.
- Kinetic reevaluates role, plan, tenant, account state, and entitlements on every request.
- Tokens never unlock paid features.
- Raw access tokens appear exactly once. Put them straight into your integration's secret store.
What agents can do
One registry defines all 100 capabilities. The REST router, the OpenAPI document, the MCP tool list, and this page read the same source, so they always agree.
Results come from deterministic calculations on your respondents' answers: same inputs, same result, every time.

No capability creates, edits, imports, or simulates respondent evidence. Agents work from fieldwork; they never manufacture it.
Permission and safety model
User-bound identity
Every credential maps to one user in one tenant. Requests for another tenant's records return nothing, not an error you can probe.
Narrow scopes
Grants are explicit and role-bounded. Full access (kinetic.full) stays reserved for the account owner.
Live enforcement
Role, plan, and account state apply at request time, not at token creation. A downgraded role narrows a token immediately.
Risk annotations and idempotency
Every capability carries machine-readable risk annotations. Writes accept idempotency keys, so a retried request cannot double a side effect.
Payment stays human
Purchases hand off to Stripe-hosted checkout that the account holder completes. Agents never enter card details and never spend without a person.
Revocation, expiry, and audit
Tokens expire on schedule, revoke immediately, and leave audit records. Rate limits apply per credential.
Respondent evidence is off limits
No API surface creates, edits, imports, or simulates respondent answers. Evidence enters Kinetic only through real fieldwork.
