Patent MCP Server

GoVeda Patent MCP Server connects your AI assistant to patent intelligence tools through the Model Context Protocol (MCP) . Search patents, retrieve full patent content, citations, attachments and ownership history, and generate patentability reports — all from within your AI workflow.

Authentication uses OAuth — your AI client opens a browser for you to sign in with your GoVeda account. Credits are shared with the GoVeda web app.

Check your credit balance anytime on the Plan & Credits page, or with the get_usage tool in Claude, Cursor, and API-key clients. ChatGPT does not expose get_usage — check the web app instead. See MCP Pricing for what each tool costs.

Once connected, your AI assistant discovers all tools automatically — you don’t call them by name, just describe what you want. The tables below summarize what each tool does.

Credits

Operation	Credits
Patent search (10 results)	~50
Patent search (100 results)	~320
Prior art search (10 results)	~690
Patent content & data (content, citations, attachments, transfers, translations)	1 per call (`batch_get_patents`: 1 per patent, up to 25)
Novelty report	720
Classification & assignee lookup (`lookup_classifications`, `lookup_party`, `party_count`, `party_patents`)	Free
Status checks and usage	Free

Prior art searches and novelty reports are the most credit-heavy operations, and patent searches cost credits too (~50–320 depending on result count). Content and data lookups cost 1 credit per call — batched retrieval with batch_get_patents is billed 1 credit per patent (up to 25). Status checks and usage are free.
