Capabilities

What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.

Secret passed into the image build Dockerfile:26
# Placeholder so the server starts. Real API keys come from users; this
# value never reaches the AI Patent Search Generator backend (it'd fail
# auth there anyway).
ENV PATENT_SEARCH_API_KEY=placeholder-for-ci-validation

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

This code can reach further than it looks

We found places where it runs commands, builds paths or queries from values it is given. None of that is a flaw by itself — it becomes one when the code changes, and code changes quietly between releases. We re-read it on every one.

Connect this server

This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

run in your terminal
claude mcp add patent-search-mcp-server -- npx -y patent-search-mcp-server
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "patent-search-mcp-server": {
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "patent-search-mcp-server"
      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }
  }
}

        "patent-search-mcp-server"
      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }
  }
}

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: PATENT_SEARCH_API_KEY (API key minted from the AI Patent Search Generator Chrome extension's Admin tab. Format: psg_live_... or psg_test_...), PATENT_SEARCH_API_BASE (Override the API base URL. Default: https://us-central1-solicitation-matcher-extension.cloudfunctions.net/ai/v1). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Patent Search MCP Server — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Patent Search MCP Server?
Patent Search MCP Server runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the npm package patent-search-mcp-server was installed 43 times last week.
How do I connect Patent Search MCP Server?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls patent-search-mcp-server straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Patent Search MCP Server?
The npm package patent-search-mcp-server was installed 43 times in the last week. Week over week that is -33%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Patent Search MCP Server open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 2 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
