Overview

AI-generated overview

Checks a name against French trademarks in force, by spelling and by sound, using public INPI data, and ranks close marks by similarity.

What you can do
  • Search trademarks close to a name, ranked by five similarity levels (identical, sounds the same, similar, contains the name, shares an element), with number, name, status, classes, filing date and INPI link
  • List the 45 Nice classes with short plain-language labels to pick the classes of a business
  • Prioritise trademarks in chosen Nice classes while still listing the others
  • Return the data's date and a limits sentence with each search
When to use it
Useful when choosing or vetting a brand or product name for the French market, or when checking whether a name is already registered before filing. Also helps pick the Nice classes relevant to what a business sells.
Requirements
Remote Streamable HTTP endpoint added to the agent's configuration; no account, API key or installation. Searches are limited to 20 per minute per IP address.
Before you install
Results are a risk signal, not legal advice; a search with no close trademark does not prove a name can be filed or used. Covers French trademarks only, without logos, EU or international marks, unpublished filings or company names. Tool texts are in French, and the server says it stores neither the name nor the classes it receives.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Pareil au même in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. 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/fr.pareil-au-meme%2Fmcp/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.

README

Pareil au même MCP server

Check whether a brand name is already registered as a trademark in France, by spelling and by sound.

Pareil au même is a hosted, read-only MCP server. It compares a name with more than 1.4 million French trademarks in force, from the public data of INPI, the French trademark office. It is free, needs no account or API key, and has nothing to install: you add one address to your agent.

https://pareil-au-meme.fr/mcp

Transport: Streamable HTTP. Authentication: none.

What it does

The server ranks the trademarks close to a name by level of similarity, from the most to the least serious:

  1. Identical: the same name, or an element of the trademark identical to it.
  2. Sounds the same: written differently, pronounced the same (Quelvo and Quelveau).
  3. Similar: one or two letters apart when spoken.
  4. Contains the name: a longer trademark that includes it.
  5. Shares an element: one of the words of the name is an existing trademark.

Tell your agent what you sell, and the trademarks in your line of business come first. The others stay listed, because a well-known trademark is protected beyond its classes.

Every answer gives the date of the data and a sentence on the search's limits.

Tools

Both tools are read-only and idempotent. Their texts are in French.

Add it to your agent

VS Code (GitHub Copilot)

Install in VS Code, or add this to .vscode/mcp.json:

json
{  "servers": {    "pareil-au-meme": {      "type": "http",      "url": "https://pareil-au-meme.fr/mcp"    }  }}

Claude

On claude.ai and Claude Desktop, open the Pareil au même listing in Claude's connectors directory and connect it.

In Claude Code:

sh
claude mcp add --transport http pareil-au-meme https://pareil-au-meme.fr/mcp

Add --scope user to have it in every project.

Cursor

Install in Cursor, or add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "pareil-au-meme": {      "url": "https://pareil-au-meme.fr/mcp"    }  }}

Codex

sh
codex mcp add pareil-au-meme --url https://pareil-au-meme.fr/mcp

ChatGPT

On paid plans, on the web: turn on developer mode in ChatGPT's settings, then create an app with the address https://pareil-au-meme.fr/mcp.

Any other agent

Add a remote MCP server at https://pareil-au-meme.fr/mcp, over Streamable HTTP, with no authentication. Most agents read the same configuration as Cursor.

Try it

  • "Is the name Brivane already registered as a trademark in France?"
  • "Which trademarks look like Quelvo for a clothing brand?"
  • "In which Nice class should I register a coffee brand?"

The agent can call list_nice_classes first to find the classes of the business, then search_trademarks with the name and those classes.

Limits

  • French trademarks only. The search sees neither logos, nor European Union or international trademarks, nor filings not yet published, nor company names.
  • It is a risk signal, not legal advice. A search with no close trademark does not mean the name can be registered or used safely. For a specific case, ask a trademark attorney.
  • The data follow INPI's weekly publications.
  • Searches are limited to 20 a minute per IP address. Past that, the tool answers with an error in French.

Privacy

The server reads and never writes. It keeps neither the name nor the classes it receives.

search_trademarks

Rechercher un nom parmi les marques françaises

Compare un nom aux marques françaises en vigueur, à l'écrit et à l'oral, d'après les données publiques de l'INPI, et rend les marques proches par niveau de similarité, du plus au moins grave : identique, se prononce pareil, ressemble, contient le nom, partage un élément. Des classes de Nice facultatives (list_nice_classes les donne) font passer en tête les marques de ces classes, sans écarter les autres. Chaque niveau liste au plus 25 marques, avec leur total. La réponse donne la date des données et une phrase sur les limites de la recherche : ce n'est pas un avis juridique.

Parametersnomrequiredclasses

list_nice_classes

Lister les classes de Nice

Donne les 45 classes de Nice (la classification des produits et services des marques), chacune avec un libellé court. search_trademarks prend ces numéros de classes et fait passer en tête les marques de ces classes.

Takes no parameters.
