Overview

AI-generated overview

A remote MCP server for patent prior-art search, claim comparison, and codebase scans for patentable technology.

What you can do
Search patent prior art for a given technology or idea, using the patent_scan capability described by the provider. Compare patent claims against the material found. Scan a codebase for technology that may be patentable. The manifest lists no individual tools, so exact operations are not documented.
When to use it
Useful when preparing or evaluating a patent filing and you want an assistant to look for prior art, compare claims, or check a codebase for potentially patentable technology.
Requirements
A remote endpoint at patlas.dev over streamable HTTP; no local package or runtime is needed. Authentication is OAuth and required, so the user must sign in to the provider's service.
Before you install
Requires an OAuth sign-in to a third-party service, so account data and any submitted technology descriptions or codebase contents go to that provider. Patent-related searches and claim comparisons are not legal advice; verify results before relying on them.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Patlas — Patent Prior-Art Search in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Connect the required credentials. They are stored privately and never shown on public pages.
  3. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/dev.patlas%2Fpatlas/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

Other MCP clients

Add this to your client's mcpServers config. The client completes OAuth sign-in on first connect.

Tools

This server asks you to sign in, so SourceWeft could not read its tools without an account and has not indexed them. What a connected account sees can depend on that account and its permissions.

56% of the applicable checks met

How complete this listing is, computed from the registry entry, the endpoint and public sources. Not a rating of the server and not a statement that it is safe or working today: reachability is a dated check, and no installs or reviews go into the score.
