Core

  • Pass
    Reachable

    Latest probe returned HTTP 200 in 773 ms.

  • Pass
    Valid handshake

    protocolVersion 2025-06-18, serverInfo.name patent-precheck.

  • Pass
    Lists tools

    tools/list returned 12 tools.

  • Pass
    Current protocol

    Negotiated 2025-06-18. The bar is 2025-06-18 or newer.

  • Pass
    HTTPS

    The endpoint URL is https.

Performance

  • Not measured
    Fast (p50)

    Median latency 773 ms over 1 samples in 7 days. The bar is 1000 ms. Need at least 5 samples.

  • Not measured
    Consistent (p95)

    95th percentile 773 ms over 1 samples in 7 days. The bar is 3000 ms. Need at least 20 samples.

  • Not measured
    Reliable (uptime)

    1 of 1 attempts returned a tool list in 30 days (100%). The bar is 99%. Need at least 30 samples.

  • Not measured
    Stable tool list

    Fewer than two successful probes in 30 days, so tool-list stability is not measured.

Access

  • Pass
    Open access

    tools/list succeeded with no credential, and the record declares none.

  • Not measured
    Standard auth

    Auth is not required, so the OAuth metadata check does not apply.

  • Not measured
    Free tier cited

    No publisher quote has been checked.

Tools

  • Pass
    Tools described

    Every tool description is at least 20 characters.

  • Pass
    Valid input schemas

    Every inputSchema is a JSON Schema object.

  • Pass
    Parameters documented

    38 of 38 parameters have a description (100%). The bar is 80%.

  • Fail
    Safety hints

    12 tools set neither readOnlyHint nor destructiveHint.

Publisher

  • Pass
    Verified namespace

    Listed in the Official MCP Registry.

  • Not measured
    Website matches publisher

    This namespace is not a reverse domain, so the website comparison does not apply.

  • Fail
    Source repo linked

    No repository URL is on file.

  • Fail
    Repo owner matches

    The GitHub repository owner does not match the namespace login.

  • Pass
    Recently updated

    Updated 2026-06-18T06:10:17.051876Z, within 180 days.

  • Not measured
    Open-source licence

    No GitHub repository to ask about a licence.

Capabilities

Tools 12

precheck_compare_to_patent

Compare invention text to a known US patent: embedding similarity plus prior-art risk analysis (statute hints, overlap theme, distinction checklist). Use when the user names a specific reference patent.

Discovered
precheck_cpc_suggest

Suggest Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) codes for an invention description. Offline heuristic — informational only. No network call.

Discovered
precheck_deliverables

Return download URLs for finalized ICR deliverables (filing packet, coaching report, package zip, scorecard PDF). Requires report_id and session_key.

Discovered
precheck_legal_context

Return a short snippet of current US software-patent legal guidance (CAFC, USPTO, Alice/§101) relevant to scoring this invention. Informational only — not legal advice.

Discovered
precheck_lookup_patent

Resolve a US patent or application number (e.g. US1234567B2) via USPTO Open Data Portal and optionally join the indexed prior-art corpus. Returns title, status, CPC, grant-text excerpt, and a public URL. No API key required in the MCP client.

Discovered
precheck_pillars

List the five scoring pillars (with statutes and weights) and the band rules used by precheck_score. Use this to explain a score to the user. No network call.

Discovered
precheck_prior_art

Return the closest prior-art matches consulted for an invention (titles, sources, similarity scores, URLs). Runs the same analyze pipeline as precheck_score but focuses on retrieval results. Pass invention text via `code`.

Discovered
precheck_rejection_patterns

Preview examination-risk signals: similar office-action rejections, abandonment patterns, and the primary statutory basis an examiner might cite (§101/§102/§103). Use after precheck_score to explain prosecution risk.

Discovered
precheck_score

Run a prior-art density / risk-profile pre-check on source code or an invention description. Returns a 0–100 directional score across the four USPTO statutory pillars (§101 eligibility, §102 novelty, §103 non-obviousness, §101 utility), a separate §112 filing-readiness signal, the band (Not Ready → File Ready), the pillar that holds the band back, opportunities to thicken the technical description, and a count of prior-art matches consulted. Show filename + size and get user yes, then pass confirm_upload: true. Pass the text inline via `code`.

Discovered
precheck_search_corpus

Fast semantic search against the 2,200,000+ prior-art corpus without LLM scoring. Returns ranked matches with similarity scores. Cheaper than precheck_score when you only need references.

Discovered
precheck_session_status

Return status for an active Interactive Code Review session. Requires report_id and session_key from the user access email link.

Discovered
precheck_start_review

Return the URL where the user can start a paid (or promo-unlocked) Interactive Code Review that strengthens each pillar with evidence and produces a filing package. Use after precheck_score when the user wants to act on the result.
