mcp
Connect Claude and Cursor to 200M+ patents, pharma records, and scientific literature.
Query global patents, legal status, and R&D intelligence directly inside your AI workspace.
This repository provides Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers powered by Patsnap's databases, letting you search over 200 million patents, scientific papers, and pharma records directly within tools like Claude and Cursor. It is built for legal professionals, patent attorneys, and IP analysts wanting to ground AI interactions in verifiable global IP data.
What it is
The toolkit exposes domain-specific servers covering life sciences, IP intelligence, and R&D innovation. You can perform advanced semantic and image-based patent searches, retrieve legal status and annuity information, and analyze patent landscapes through structured LLM workflows.
Who it's for
It suits patent attorneys, IP litigators, and legal technologists integrating real-time patent databases into AI assistants. It does not suit practitioners seeking a standalone legal practice management system or those without access to the required API credentials.
