FlowLeap Patent AI — Claude Code MCP server: patent search
A remote MCP server gives AI access to EPO and USPTO records, patent search, OCR, and PATSTAT analysis. Use it when a coding agent needs patent research.
claude mcp add --transport http flowleap https://api.flowleap.co/mcpWhat FlowLeap Patent AI does
FlowLeap Patent AI connects Claude Code to remote patent-data tools for EPO and USPTO records. It can search patents, retrieve bibliographic details, claims, descriptions, families, citations, legal events, and prosecution documents. OCR handles text extraction from PDFs, images, and office documents. The server also reaches academic and non-patent literature.
PATSTAT tools cover applicant portfolios, CPC technology views, citation and family links, and guarded read-only SQL SELECT queries over documented views. The service exposes 49 read-only tools, plus 6 resources and 3 prompts for PATSTAT workflows. A FlowLeap account and the patent-data scope are required, so authentication is a prerequisite before the server can be used.
What it helps with
- search EPO or USPTO patent records
- compare the bibliographic data of several patents
- trace patent families, citations, and legal events
- inspect an applicant portfolio in PATSTAT
- extract text from a patent PDF or office document
Example prompts for the agent
- Search EPO OPS for patents about this topic and explain the query syntax.
- Compare
EP1234567andUS12345678, including their families and citations. - Use PATSTAT to map this applicant’s filings by year and office.
