description: >-
  McKinsey & Company does not publish a public developer API, so no
  public rate limits exist. Throughput, concurrency, and SLAs on any
  McKinsey-built API (within a client engagement, a McKinsey Digital
  accelerator deployment, a QuantumBlack analytics product, or a
  managed-services arrangement) are negotiated bilaterally and owned by
  the engagement contract.
notes: No public developer API — placeholder only.

      Throughput, concurrency, and SLAs on any McKinsey-built API are
      defined inside the client engagement contract or the relevant
      managed-services agreement, not by a public developer-portal
      policy.

      Rate limits on McKinsey's open-source projects (Vizro,
      Agents-at-Scale ARK, ARK Marketplace, CausalNex, QuantumBlack
      Design System, qbstyles, Kedro) are determined entirely by the
      adopter's own infrastructure — there is no hosted McKinsey
      offering.
