Connects Claude to Lens.org's patent and scholarly article database through two search tools: patents_search and scholarly_search. You'll need a free academic API key from Lens.org to use it. This is the tool to reach for when you're doing prior art searches, literature reviews, or tracking research citations without leaving your AI workflow. Hosted by Pipeworx as a standalone server or available as part of their larger gateway that bundles 673+ data sources. Uses streamable HTTP transport, so configuration is just dropping a URL into your MCP settings.
Lens.org MCP — patent + scholarly platform.
Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 673+ live data sources.
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
patents_search | Patent search. |
scholarly_search | Scholarly works search. |
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"lens-org": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/lens-org/mcp"
}
}
}
Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 673+ data sources:
{
"mcpServers": {
"pipeworx": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
}
}
}
Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English:
ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Lens Org data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
