US patent search, assignee portfolios, and citation graph via PatentsView.
USPTO Patents MCP server is a hosted integration for AI assistants that speak the Model Context Protocol. US patent search, assignee portfolios, and citation graph via PatentsView.
Hosted MCP server over the USPTO patent database. Search granted US patents by query/assignee/inventor/date, fetch full records with claims, list complete assignee portfolios, BFS-explore forward/backward citation graphs, and subscribe to weekly grant digests by saved query. For IP research, prior-art search, and competitive-intelligence LLMs.
Once USPTO Patents is connected, these are the calls the assistant has available:
uspto_patent_search — query?, assignee?, inventor?, date_from?, date_to?, limit?uspto_read_patent — patent_numberuspto_assignee_portfolio — assignee, limit?uspto_citation_graph — patent_number, direction?, depth?uspto_subscribe_grants — query, webhook_url — Team+Being a remote server, there is no local install. You register the endpoint with your client, authorise it once, and the tools appear.
This sits in the developer tooling group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. USPTO Patents's toolset — uspto_patent_search, uspto_read_patent, uspto_assignee_portfolio and 2 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by guptaprakhariitr; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
