find_patent_citationsList documents cited by a US patent and documents that cite it, using USPTO grant references and USPTO office-action citations.Reads private dataReads text others writeNo findings
Why it is in this group
- The name "find_patent_citations" says "find": a word for reading.
What it can reach
- private-dataThe description's first sentence says "list" and "document": it reads documents.
- untrusted-inputThe server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data.
Description, as the server wrote it
List documents cited by a US patent and documents that cite it, using USPTO grant references and USPTO office-action citations. The PatentsView citation graph is paused. Not legal advice.
Annotations the server declares
- readOnlyHint: true
- destructiveHint: false
- idempotentHint: true
- openWorldHint: true
get_patentFetch one US patent's title, abstract, claims, status, family, and citations from USPTO.Reads text others writeNo findings
Why it is in this group
- The name "get_patent" says "get": a word for reading.
What it can reach
- untrusted-inputThe server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data.
Description, as the server wrote it
Fetch one US patent's title, abstract, claims, status, family, and citations from USPTO. Missing text is omitted rather than filled in. Not legal advice.

- untrusted-inputThe server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data.
Description, as the server wrote it
Search public US patent records by keywords, claim language, CPC class, assignee, inventor, or grant date. Every number in the result was returned by USPTO. Not legal advice.

search_prior_artTurn an idea description into a public-patent search and return the closest records the offices actually returned, with Google Patents links.Reads text others writeNo findings
Why it is in this group
- The name "search_prior_art" says "search": a word for reading.
What it can reach
- untrusted-inputThe server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data.
Description, as the server wrote it
Turn an idea description into a public-patent search and return the closest records the offices actually returned, with Google Patents links. Ranking counts overlapping words. It is not a patentability opinion. Not legal advice.

This is not a safety rating, and no finding is not a safety guarantee. The groups and findings come from fixed checks of the tool definitions the server returned on the date shown, not from its code or what it does when called. How the checks work.

Exfil surface

Which tools read private data, which read text someone else can write, and which can send data out. One of each is a path a prompt injection can use.

No private-data, untrusted-input, outbound path in this server alone: no tool is tagged outbound.

Reads private data1: Reads files, mail, messages, databases, secrets, calendars or repositories.; find_patent_citations
Reads text others write4: Brings in text someone else can write: web pages, inbound email, messages, issues and comments.; find_patent_citations
get_patent
search_patents
search_prior_art
Can send data out0: Can carry data to people or systems: it sends, posts or publishes, or takes a recipient, channel or URL.

Other servers in the same agent add their own tools to these paths. Audit your whole setup to see them together.

Remote posture

Install

Pinned to version 1.0.1. Values in angle brackets are yours to fill in.

claude mcp add --transport http patent https://patent-mcp.vercel.app/mcp

Run in a terminal.

Claude Code permissions

Allow the reads, ask before a change or a way out, deny the deletes. Paste into .claude/settings.json.

.claude/settings.json

{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__patent__search_patents",
      "mcp__patent__get_patent",
      "mcp__patent__find_patent_citations",
      "mcp__patent__search_prior_art"
    ],
    "ask": [],
    "deny": []
  }
}

Tools that only read are allowed, tools that change things ask first, tools that delete or cancel are denied. A read that can send data out (it takes a URL, say) asks first too. It assumes the server is installed as patent. Review it before you use it.

An Atom feed. Works in any feed reader or Slack's RSS app.

Anlyon alternative

Run the operations that matter as governed actions.

Declare what an action changes, and Anlyon puts it under a shared limit, binds every approval to the exact request, and grades the outcome. It works on any HTTPS API you can describe as an action.

Anlyon does not run, proxy or govern this MCP server. A tool your own code calls directly is not routed through Anlyon and is not governed by it.
