How to Set Up and Use Patent Search
The GoVeda Patent MCP server provides AI assistants with access to a semantic search engine spanning 220 million global patents, enabling instant prior art discovery, novelty assessment, and full patent content retrieval. Unlike keyword-only patent databases, it uses vector-based semantic search so you can describe an invention concept in plain language and surface the most relevant existing patents. Inventors, patent attorneys, R&D teams, and IP professionals use it to accelerate prior art searches, draft patentability reports, and analyze competitor patent claims — all within their AI assistant.
Prerequisites
- Node.js 18 or later (for mcp-remote bridge if your client requires stdio transport)
- A GoVeda account — sign up at https://goveda.com or activate the free 14-day trial via the start_free_trial tool
- An MCP-compatible client that supports HTTP transport (e.g. Claude Desktop with the remote transport option) or stdio via mcp-remote
- OAuth 2.0 login completes automatically in your browser on first use — no manual API key needed
Add the server using Claude Code (HTTP transport)
The GoVeda Patent server is hosted remotely at https://mcp.goveda.com/mcp. Add it directly using the claude mcp add command — no local installation required.
claude mcp add goveda-patent --transport http https://mcp.goveda.com/mcpAlternatively, configure via mcp-remote for stdio clients
If your MCP client only supports stdio transport, use the mcp-remote bridge to proxy the HTTP endpoint over stdio.
{
"mcpServers": {
"goveda-patent": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["mcp-remote", "https://mcp.goveda.com/mcp"]
}
}
}Authenticate with OAuth on first use
When you first invoke a patent tool, the server will open a browser window for OAuth 2.0 login with your GoVeda account. Complete the sign-in to authorize access.
Activate the free trial if you are a new user
New GoVeda accounts can activate 10,000 credits for a 14-day free trial directly through the AI assistant by asking it to call the start_free_trial tool.
Run your first patent search
Ask your AI assistant to search for patents using a natural language description of a technology concept. The search_patents tool performs semantic matching across 220M+ patents.

}Prompts to try
Example prompts that use the GoVeda patent tools for research and analysis.
- "Search for patents about wireless charging systems for implantable medical devices."
- "Find prior art for patent US-20230001234-A1 and summarize the most relevant results."
- "Generate a novelty report for this invention: a biodegradable packaging film that dissolves in warm water within 30 seconds."
- "Show me the abstract, claims, and detailed description of patent US-11234567-B2."
- "How many patent search credits do I have remaining?"Troubleshooting Patent Search
OAuth login window does not open or authentication fails
Ensure you have a default browser configured on your system. If running in a headless environment, try accessing https://mcp.goveda.com directly in a browser to authenticate first, then retry the MCP connection.
get_search_status keeps returning 'pending' for a long time
Semantic patent searches across 220M+ patents can take 15-60 seconds. Poll get_search_status every 10 seconds and wait for the status to change to 'complete' before calling the results endpoint.
mcp-remote is not found when using stdio configuration
Install mcp-remote globally with 'npm install -g mcp-remote' or ensure npx can resolve it. Node.js 18+ is required.
