by Patent-PreCheck

Keyless 12-tool patentability MCP: USPTO pillar scores, prior art, hosted at patentprecheck.com/mcp.

Assess patentability with 12 tools including USPTO scores and prior art search.

Captured live from the server via tools/list.

precheck_score

Run a patentability pre-check on source code or an invention description. Returns a 0–100 patentability score across the four USPTO statutory pillars (§101 eligibility, §102 novelty, §103 non-obviousness, §101 utility), a separate §112 filing-readiness signal, the band (Not Ready → File Ready), the pillar that holds the band back, top opportunities to strengthen, and a count of prior-art matches consulted. Pass the text to analyze inline via `code`.

Parameters (3)

codestringrequired
The source code or invention description to analyze (>= 10 chars).
filenamestring
Optional filename hint (e.g. main.ts) used for language/context.
tierstring
Analysis tier. Defaults to free; paid tiers require server-side entitlement.

precheck_prior_art

Return the closest prior-art matches consulted for an invention (titles, sources, similarity scores, URLs). Runs the same analyze pipeline as precheck_score but focuses on retrieval results. Pass invention text via `code`.

Parameters (4)

codestringrequired
Source code or invention description (>= 10 chars).
filenamestring
Optional filename hint.
limitinteger
Max matches to return (1–15, default 8).
tierstring
Analysis tier. Defaults to free.

precheck_rejection_patterns

Preview examination-risk signals: similar office-action rejections, abandonment patterns, and the primary statutory basis an examiner might cite (§101/§102/§103). Use after precheck_score to explain prosecution risk.

Parameters (3)

codestringrequired
Source code or invention description (>= 10 chars).
filenamestring
Optional filename hint.
tierstring
Analysis tier. Defaults to free.

precheck_legal_context

Return a short snippet of current US software-patent legal guidance (CAFC, USPTO, Alice/§101) relevant to scoring this invention. Informational only — not legal advice.

Parameters (2)

codestringrequired
Source code or invention description (>= 10 chars).
filenamestring
Optional filename hint.

precheck_pillars

List the five patentability pillars (with statutes and weights) and the band rules used by precheck_score. Use this to explain a score to the user. No network call.

No parameters.

precheck_start_review

Return the URL where the user can start a paid (or promo-unlocked) Interactive Code Review that strengthens each pillar with evidence and produces a filing package. Use after precheck_score when the user wants to act on the result.

Parameters (3)

promostring
Optional promo / beta access code (e.g. Beta) to skip payment.
report_idstring
Optional free-score report id (PPC-YYYY-MM-DD-XXXXX) to carry forward.
emailstring
Optional email hint (prefill only; user confirms on signup).

precheck_search_corpus

Fast semantic search against the 1M+ prior-art corpus without LLM scoring. Returns ranked matches with similarity scores. Cheaper than precheck_score when you only need references.

Parameters (4)

codestringrequired
Source code or invention description (>= 10 chars).
filenamestring
Optional filename hint.
limitinteger
Max matches (1–20, default 12).
tierstring
Search tier. Defaults to free.

precheck_cpc_suggest

Suggest Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) codes for an invention description. Offline heuristic — informational only. No network call.

Parameters (2)

codestringrequired
Source code or invention description (>= 10 chars).
limitinteger
Max suggestions (1–10, default 5).

precheck_session_status

Return status for an active Interactive Code Review session. Requires report_id and session_key from the user access email link.

Parameters (2)

report_idstringrequired
Report id (PPC-YYYY-MM-DD-XXXXX).
session_keystringrequired
Session secret from the access email (?k=…).

precheck_deliverables

Return download URLs for finalized ICR deliverables (filing packet, coaching report, package zip, scorecard PDF). Requires report_id and session_key.

Parameters (2)

report_idstringrequired
Report id (PPC-YYYY-MM-DD-XXXXX).
session_keystringrequired
Session secret from the access email (?k=…).

precheck_lookup_patent

Resolve a US patent or application number (e.g. US1234567B2) via USPTO Open Data Portal and optionally join the indexed prior-art corpus. Returns title, status, CPC, grant-text excerpt, and a public URL. No API key required in the MCP client.

Parameters (2)

patent_idstringrequired
US patent id (US1234567B2) or application number.
include_grant_textboolean
Fetch abstract / claim 1 excerpt when available (default true).

precheck_compare_to_patent

Compare invention text to a known US patent: embedding similarity plus prior-art risk analysis (statute hints, overlap theme, distinction checklist). Use when the user names a specific reference patent.

Parameters (3)

codestringrequired
Source code or invention description (>= 10 chars).
patent_idstringrequired
US patent id (e.g. US1234567B2).
filenamestring
Optional filename hint.
