README

patents-mcp

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for patent search and prior art discovery, powered by the Google Patents public dataset on BigQuery.

Built with the official Go MCP SDK.

Why patents-mcp?

Existing patent MCP servers are either paid, single-source, or unmaintained. patents-mcp is:

Free — built on Google Patents public dataset (1TB/month free on BigQuery)
Open source — MIT licensed
Production grade — structured logging, graceful shutdown, clean architecture
Extensible — each tool is self-contained, easy to add new tools

Available Tools

Tool	Description
`search_patents`	Search patents by keyword, technology area, or inventor name
`get_patent`	Fetch full patent details by publication number
`get_patent_claims`	Fetch patent claims text

Prerequisites

Go 1.21+
A Google Cloud account (free)
BigQuery API enabled on your GCP project

Setup

1. Google Cloud Setup

Create a GCP project at console.cloud.google.com
Enable the BigQuery API
Create a service account with the following roles:
- BigQuery Job User
- BigQuery Data Viewer
Download the service account JSON key

2. Install

git clone https://github.com/tushariitr-19/patents-mcp
cd patents-mcp
go build -o patents-mcp-server ./cmd/server/

3. Configure

export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS="/path/to/service-account.json"
export GCP_PROJECT_ID="your-gcp-project-id"

# Optional: enable debug logging
export DEBUG=true

Usage with Claude Desktop

Add to your Claude Desktop config (claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "patents-mcp": {
      "command": "/path/to/patents-mcp-server",
      "env": {
        "GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS": "/path/to/service-account.json",
        "GCP_PROJECT_ID": "your-gcp-project-id"
      }
    }
  }
}

Each tool owns its own dependencies — the server is agnostic of what tools do internally. Adding a new tool is a single line in server/server.go.
