MCP Server for PatSnap API
MCP Server for PatSnap API. Exposed over MCP by the patsnap mcp server, that capability becomes something an assistant can invoke while it works, not something you go and do afterwards.
This MCP server is designed to collect patent-related information from PatSnap's API for trend analysis and reporting. It is not intended for individual patent investigations.
Installation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at @kunihiros/patsnap-mcp on npm and it is fetched when the client starts. The copy-paste blocks for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are further down this page.
You will need 2 environment variables: PATSNAP_CLIENT_ID, PATSNAP_CLIENT_SECRET. The server will not start without them, which is usually why the tools fail to appear on a first run. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.
Among the planning and project tracking options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. It is maintained by KunihiroS; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
This entry was verified against PatSnap's own documentation before publication; SyncDev keeps the directory reviewed rather than auto-generated.
