GoVeda Patent MCP Server

AI-powered patent intelligence for search & analysis via the Model Context Protocol (MCP).

Search and analyze 220M+ global patents with semantic search, prior art discovery, novelty/patentability reports, and full patent content retrieval — directly from Claude, ChatGPT, and other MCP-compatible AI assistants.

Endpoint: https://mcp.goveda.com/mcp Transport: Streamable HTTP Authentication: OAuth 2.0 (automatic browser sign-in)

Quick Start

Claude Desktop / claude.ai
