README

USPTO Patent MCP Server

A FastMCP server for accessing United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) patent and patent application data through multiple APIs including the Patent Public Search API, the Open Data Portal (ODP) API, PTAB API v3, and Patent Litigation APIs. Using this server, Claude Desktop can pull data from USPTO APIs, search through PTAB proceedings and decisions, analyze patent litigation, research prosecution history, and more:

For an introduction to MCP servers see Introducing the Model Context Protocol.

Special thanks to Parker Hancock, author of the amazing Patent Client project, for blazing the trail to understanding of the string of requests and responses needed to pull data through the Public Search API.

Features

This server provides 52 tools across 6 USPTO data sources (27 active, 25 unavailable due to API shutdowns):

Patent Search - Full-text search of granted patents and published applications via PPUBS
Full Text Documents - Get complete text of patents including claims, description, and specification
PDF Downloads - Download patents as PDF files (Claude Desktop doesn't support this as a client currently)
Prosecution History - Access transactions and file wrapper data via ODP
Patent Family Data - Continuity information, foreign priority, and related applications
Bulk Datasets - Search and access USPTO bulk data products including PatentsView disambiguated data

Note on unavailable APIs: The PatentsView API (search.patentsview.org) was shut down on March 20, 2026, with its data migrated to ODP bulk datasets. The Office Action and Enriched Citation APIs (developer.uspto.gov) were decommissioned in early 2026. The Patent Litigation API is not offered on the USPTO Open Data Portal; litigation data is available as a bulk download. All 25 affected tools remain registered and return helpful workaround guidance pointing to alternative tools.

API Sources

Source	Description	Auth Required	Status
ppubs.uspto.gov	Full text documents, PDF downloads, advanced search (daily updates)	No	Active
api.uspto.gov (ODP)	Metadata, continuity, transactions, assignments, prosecution history	Yes (ODP API Key)	Active
PTAB Trial API	IPR/PGR/CBM proceedings, decisions, appeals	Yes (ODP API Key)	Active (ODP v3.0)
Patent Litigation API	74,000+ district court patent cases	N/A	Not offered on ODP (issue #16)
PatentsView API	Disambiguated inventor/assignee data, advanced search	N/A	Shut down March 2026
Office Action APIs	Full-text office actions, citations, rejections	N/A	Decommissioned early 2026

Prerequisites

Python 3.10-3.13 (3.12 recommended)
Claude Desktop (for integration). Other models and MCP clients have not been tested.
UV for Python version and dependency management

If you're a Python developer but still unfamiliar with uv, you're in for a treat. It's faster and easier than having a separate Python version manager (like pyenv) and setting up, activating, and maintaining virtual environments with venv and pip.

If you don't already have uv installed:

curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

Installation

Clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/riemannzeta/patent_mcp_server
