Patent Intelligence MCP
Patent intelligence for AI agents — patent search, USPTO data, patent landscape, technology trends, and semantic prior-art search (pgvector) over USPTO PatentsView data.
Part of the FoundryNet Data Network. Attest your agent's research with MINT Protocol for verifiable, on-chain proof of work. See also: gov-contracts-mcp, brand-intel-mcp.

Tools
| Tool | Price | What it does |
|---|---|---|
search_patents | $0.01 | Search by keyword, assignee, CPC, date, type |
patent_detail | free | Full record: claims, citations, inventors |
company_patents | $0.01 | Portfolio: count, filing velocity, tech areas, recent filings |
trending_technology | $0.01 | CPC classes ranked by filing volume, with top assignees |
prior_art_search | $0.02 | Semantic similarity over abstracts (pgvector) — premium |
daily_digest | $0.02 | Structured daily patent-filing digest |
mint_info | free | FoundryNet Data Network + MINT Protocol details |
Free tier: 25 paid-tool queries/day per agent (plus free patent_detail +
mint_info). Pass agent_id to scope your allowance. After that, x402: the tool
returns an HTTP-402 with a payment memo — send the USDC on Solana with that memo,
then re-call with the same args plus payment_tx=<signature>. An
Authorization: Bearer fnet_… key bypasses the paywall.
How it works
A daily task (~5am PT) ingests patents granted in the last day from the USPTO
PatentsView Search API, maps them to a normalized schema, embeds abstracts with
fastembed (BAAI/bge-small-en-v1.5, local, no API key), and stores them in a
standalone Supabase project. prior_art_search embeds your query and ranks by
pgvector cosine similarity. A rolling patent_assignees summary powers
company_patents.
Honesty note: claims_count isn't exposed by the PatentsView patent endpoint,
so it's left null (a future enrichment hook); citation_count and the rest come
straight from PatentsView.
