Where Koyeb is ahead
Koyeb passes mcp discoverable, and api.video does not. That is discover, whether an agent can find the product at all without being told it exists.
It also holds adopt: no mandatory sales call, agent-compatible signup flow, cli available and mcp integration available. api.video misses those.
What neither does
Both fail llms.txt published, llms-full.txt / full agent docs, structured api reference, openapi / spec quality, authentication documented, request examples provided, response examples provided, errors and status codes documented, programmatic credential creation, structured, predictable output, machine-readable errors, retry behavior documented, idempotency support, rate-limit behavior predictable, agent compatibility verified. If your agent needs any of those, you will be building it yourself either way.
Score, pillar by pillar
