Frequently asked questions
Needles/Neos scores D on Supergood's API Report Card. Assembly Software markets Neos as having an open API environment with partners like Zapier and DocuSign, but the API is gated: no public documentation, and access requires vendor approval. One verified reviewer's request for read-only access went unanswered for weeks.
Without a usable official API, teams fall back on manual exports, file drops, or one-off vendor integrations. The other option is an unofficial API layer like Supergood that automates the authenticated web app directly. Site terms may apply to any integration approach, and how they apply is a determination each team makes for itself.

Supergood's grades measure one thing: can a customer's engineering team get their own data out programmatically? Supergood checks six things (whether a real API exists, how access is gated, data coverage, auth quality, docs and developer experience, and stability) and rolls them into a letter grade. Supergood re-verifies grades, and they only move on evidence.
Yes, via a managed API layer. Supergood builds REST APIs and MCP servers for authenticated enterprise web apps, so AI agents and internal tools can read and write data programmatically. Site terms may apply to any integration approach, and how they apply is a determination each team makes for itself.
Not that we could find. As of August 2026 there is no official Needles/Neos MCP server in any public registry, and no maintained community server we're aware of. We re-verify this periodically — report an inaccuracy below if we missed one.
Not natively. Needles/Neos doesn't publish an MCP server, so MCP clients like Claude, Cursor, and Codex have nothing to connect to out of the box. If that changes, this page will reflect it.
