## Summaries

### 1125. Strava MCP Connector + API, E (45.8)

Strava's MCP Connector is a hosted, read-only MCP server that gives a Strava subscriber's AI assistant access to their own activity history, fitness trends, gear and best efforts. The V3 REST API reaches the same data for registered developer apps. The MCP Connector is the surface Strava sanctions for an AI assistant, read-only, scoped to one subscriber's account, with its own status component. Its tool list and rate limits are not public, the API Agreement and prices sit on a host our reader could not fetch, and apps serving more than 10 athletes need a review that refuses AI tools.

- Capabilities: hobbies.activities, hobbies.routes · endpoint: `https://mcp.strava.com/mcp`

### 1139. Ride with GPS API, E (45.2)

Ride with GPS is a cycling route planning and navigation service. Its v1 REST API reads and writes a person's routes, trips, collections and events, uploads GPS files, and runs club member, event, experience and point-of-interest tools for organisation accounts. A free, documented REST API with a public OpenAPI file, OAuth, filters and pagination on routes and trips, GPS uploads as polled tasks, and a change log updated five times since August 2026. There is no status page, no rate limit figure, no read-only scope, and the organisation-only endpoints need an account priced by email.

- Capabilities: hobbies.routes, hobbies.activities, hobbies.events

### 1176. Ticketmaster Discovery API, E (42.9)

Ticketmaster's Discovery API searches events, attractions, venues and classifications across Ticketmaster, Universe, FrontGate and Ticketmaster Resale, with a key from the developer portal. Buying tickets needs the Partner API, which is open only to approved distribution partners. The Discovery API gives a free key 5,000 event searches a day across Ticketmaster's markets, with documented paging, filters and rate-limit headers. There is no OpenAPI contract or current SDK, the key travels in the URL, the terms forbid revenue from the API, and purchase stays behind the partner-only Partner API.

### 1207. Chess.com Published-Data API, E (40.8)

Chess.com's Published-Data API is a keyless, read-only REST API returning JSON-LD for public player profiles, ratings, monthly game archives with PGN, clubs, tournaments, team matches, country lists, the daily puzzle, streamers and leaderboards. A keyless, read-only API that returns a player's monthly game archives with PGN, ratings, clubs and tournaments, with ETag caching and a documented 429 rule. It has been in maintenance mode since December 2024, with no status page, no contract file beyond a bare Postman collection, and a User Agreement that bars robots and AI tools from the Services.

### 1255. Rebrickable, F (34.7)

Rebrickable is a LEGO database and community site that matches the sets and parts a person owns to builds they can make, including fan designs (MOCs). Its REST API v3 reads the catalogue and a user's sets, parts and lists. Rebrickable's API v3 reads the LEGO catalogue and a person's sets, parts and lists through a public Swagger 2.0 spec with 62 operations and a free key. Calls are limited to about one a second, the docs call the API severely overloaded, user tokens come from a password, and the terms and Pro price were behind a bot check.

- Capabilities: hobbies.collections, hobbies.crafts

### 1311. Ravelry, F (16.5)

Ravelry is a free community site for knitters, crocheters and fibre artists, with a pattern and yarn database and a personal notebook of projects and stash. Third-party apps connect through an API whose documentation sits behind a login. Ravelry runs an API that 36 listed apps use for patterns, projects and stash, with a public Statuspage and terms that do not forbid automation. Its API documentation, developer registration and API group are all behind a login, so an agent's operator must hold a Ravelry account and read the docs there before any call.

## How we test this category

In this run, public evidence against the published checklist. When the task suites run, the same consenting test account read through each listing, a catalogue searched for a fixed item and, where the API allows, one entry written or one booking made. We check what came back, what the rate limit allowed in an hour and what the terms say about the agent doing it. This test hasn't run yet, so Task success is pending and the grades here come from the categories assessed from public evidence.
