Solve Intelligence MCP Server

Solve Intelligence is a patent-focused AI platform for IP attorneys, patent agents, and corporate IP teams. Its MCP server brings the same patent intelligence stack that powers the Solve drafting, prosecution, and claim chart products into Claude via a remote connector. Once enabled, Claude can search global patent and non-patent literature, retrieve case law and legal texts, analyze patents, and map claims against technical standards without leaving the chat.

The server is provider-hosted and exposes read-only access to Solve Intelligence's patent corpora and analytical workflows. According to Solve's documentation, it supports six core workflows: infringement detection, legal research across jurisdictions, freedom-to-operate (FTO) searching, invalidity searching, Standard Essential Patent (SEP) mapping, and patent document analysis. Underlying data spans patent literature across major jurisdictions, scientific and non-patent literature, and patent legal texts and case law for the US, Europe, Japan, and Australia.

The connector is aimed at firms and in-house IP teams that already use Solve Intelligence. It requires both an active Solve Intelligence subscription and a Claude subscription, and an organization administrator must enable the integration. Solve Intelligence is SOC 2 certified and adheres to ISO 42001, ISO 27001, GDPR, and CCPA, with no customer data used to train models.

Tools

Prerequisites

• Active Solve Intelligence subscription
• Active Claude subscription (Claude.ai or Claude API)
• Solve Intelligence organization administrator must enable the integration
• Recommended: obtain IT approval before connecting, since patent data is sensitive

Connect via Claude

The Solve Intelligence MCP server is hosted by Solve and exposed as a Claude connector. There is nothing to install locally.

• Visit https://claude.com/connectors/solve-intelligence
• Sign in with your Claude account
• Authorize the connector and complete OAuth sign-in to Solve Intelligence
• Once connected, the tools are available in Claude web, desktop, mobile, Claude Code, and the Claude API platform

The connector operates in read-only mode.

Using with the Claude API (MCP connector)

For programmatic use through Claude's MCP connector feature, register the remote MCP server in your API request. Refer to Solve Intelligence's MCP guide for the current server URL and headers:

Docs: https://api.solveintelligence.com/guide/mcp/intro/
Connector page: https://claude.com/connectors/solve-intelligence

Contact Solve Intelligence support for the production MCP endpoint and OAuth client configuration if you need to wire the server into a non-Claude MCP client.

• Run an invalidity search against a competitor patent: pull its claims, search global prior art, and return the strongest references with citations.
• Perform a freedom-to-operate search in a specific jurisdiction (for example, China or Germany) for a product description before launch.
• Generate a comparative patentability analysis across the US, EPO, and JPO for a borderline subject matter (such as software or simulation inventions).
• Map a patent's claim elements against a technical standard (for example, 3GPP or IEEE) to assess SEP exposure.
• Identify products that may read on a given set of claims by combining claim parsing with web research for infringement detection.

• "Retrieve the claims of US10,000,000 and find the strongest prior art references from global patent and non-patent literature."
• "Do a freedom-to-operate search in China for a wireless charging coil with the following specs..."
• "Compare the patentability approach for simulation inventions in the US, Europe, and Japan."
• "Map claim 1 of EP1234567 against the 3GPP TS 38.331 standard and tell me which claim elements are essential."
• "Given this product description, identify US patents whose independent claims might read on it."

• Official, provider-hosted connector maintained by Solve Intelligence, with no local install or self-hosting required.
• Covers the full IP research workflow (prior art, FTO, invalidity, SEP, infringement, legal research) over Solve's curated patent and non-patent corpora.
• Strong compliance posture: SOC 2, ISO 42001, ISO 27001, GDPR, and CCPA, with no data used for model training.
• Works across all Claude surfaces: web, desktop, mobile, Claude Code, and the API.

• Requires a paid Solve Intelligence subscription plus admin-level enablement, which limits casual use.
• Read-only: the connector surfaces research and analysis but does not write back into Solve's drafting or prosecution tools.
• Public technical documentation (server URL, exact tool schemas, auth details) is limited; most setup happens through Claude's connector UI rather than a public README.

• Harvey and Hebbia Claude connectors for broader legal research workflows (less patent-specialized).
• PatSnap or LexisNexis PatentSight: established patent analytics platforms, though without first-party MCP connectors at time of writing.
• Building a custom MCP server over the USPTO PatentsView API or EPO OPS for purely public-domain patent search use cases.
