Summary
Wraps the USPTO Open Data Portal's Patent File Wrapper API through the Pipeworx gateway. The README doesn't list specific tools, but given it's hitting PatentsView API endpoints, you're likely getting patent search, inventor lookups, and assignee data. Part of the larger Pipeworx ecosystem that connects to 673+ data sources, so you can add just this server or tap into their full gateway. Supports their ask_pipeworx interface where you ask questions in plain English instead of calling tools directly. Useful when you're building IP research tools, doing prior art searches, or need programmatic access to US patent records without dealing with the USPTO API directly.
Keep your Mac awake while Claude Code and 40+ AI agents run. Sleeps when they're idle.

{
"mcpServers": {
"patents": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/patents/mcp"
}
}
}
Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 673+ data sources:
{
"mcpServers": {
"pipeworx": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
}

Using with ask_pipeworx
Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English:
ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Patents data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
