Lightbringer

Lightbringer patent service through MCP

Work with Lightbringer's patent service from your AI assistant, where you research and build technical solutions. Register and enrich innovations, request patent preparation, and collaborate with the Lightbringer team on Strategies, reports and patent drafts.

Lightbringer offers a full patent service with qualified patent attorneys on its team. Professional engagements include attorney advice, strategy assessment, novelty searches, freedom-to-operate (FTO) assessments, patent drafting, filing and prosecution. Lightbringer is the route to that professional work; automated analysis of an innovation description is not an attorney review, novelty search or FTO assessment.

This is a metadata and documentation repository for a remote, hosted MCP server. Lightbringer operates the server; there is no server code to install or run from this repository.

What you can do

• Capture innovations where you work. Identify ideas from an inventor conversation or authorised technical sources. Search for existing records, register new innovations, and enrich them over time without creating duplicates.
• Use existing context. Read the shared company brief and retrieve accessible innovations, patents, Strategies, reports and meeting notes or transcripts. Read selected patent sections for focused questions, and save authorised company-context updates when you have permission. Where your organisation allows it, list the trade secret register entries you can open by reference, title, status and dates, without entry content.
• Develop an IP strategy. Follow the current capture guide, save a populated draft, and revise it using the current record revision. Publication and deletion are separate explicit actions and require appropriate permissions.
• Refine an innovation description. Start automated feedback, follow its progress and read the findings. This checks the description rather than establishing novelty or patentability.
• Request patent preparation. Ask Lightbringer to prepare a selected innovation for patent filing. Registration alone does not initiate this workflow. An explicit preparation request does not require an automated feedback or revision cycle first.
• Collaborate with your patent team. Read reviews, attorney comments and proposed amendments; add comments, reply in discussions and respond to reviews using your existing permissions.
• Import portfolios and build patent families. Find public publications by company name or publication number, import your own patents or third-party references, and group saved own patents into families.

MCP access is available to Lightbringer platform subscribers, free or paid. Professional work is provided through separate paid engagements. The tools below define what can be initiated or consumed directly through MCP today; other service arrangements continue through the platform or Lightbringer team, including meetings where relevant. Agents cannot make payments.

Connect and get started

Use a compatible MCP client such as ChatGPT, Claude, Claude Code or Cursor. Support for installing bundled skills varies by host; a connection to the MCP endpoint alone does not install skills.

The server advertises its authorization server through RFC 9728 protected-resource metadata at /.well-known/oauth-protected-resource. Complete the host's sign-in flow and select the Lightbringer organisation to connect. Access is limited to that organisation and your existing permissions. Eligible users can enable MCP for an organisation during consent; other members can connect when MCP is already enabled. Follow the account or organisation remedy shown if connection is blocked. Never paste passwords or access tokens into chat.

mcp:trade-secrets allows listing the trade secret register; mcp:read alone does not include it. Clients that request every supported scope ask for it at sign-in. The sign-in screen lists it on its own line, and approving the sign-in grants all requested permissions together. Connections made before it was available may not include it. Some clients ask you to sign in again when a tool needs it; otherwise remove the Lightbringer connection and add it again.

Install the skills with the connector

The MCP server supplies available tools, schemas and general service instructions. Skills guide the assistant through a workflow using those tools; they do not grant additional permissions or add server capabilities.

See the release and compatibility guide for package status and verification results.

agent-plugin is the canonical skills package. claude-plugin mirrors its complete skills tree with Claude-specific metadata. These are separate distribution packages for the same service. See the distribution guide for supported installation routes, release dependencies and host verification. A repository or registry listing does not itself establish approval or availability in a host's plugin directory.

After connecting, try:

Help me get started with Lightbringer and work out our next steps.

The setup skill, when installed, adapts to your situation without requiring patent expertise. A specific task can go directly to its workflow. With the innovation-capture skill, you can also ask:

Use Lightbringer's innovation-capture skill to identify potential innovations in the technical work we have discussed. Search for existing records, register new innovations and enrich relevant existing ones using supported facts. Preserve open questions and report anything that could not be saved. Do not request patent preparation; registration is the goal for now.

For a separate preparation request: “I want Lightbringer to prepare innovation X for patent filing.” For review work: “Help me respond to the patent team's review of X.”

For portfolio work: “Find publications filed under these company names and import our portfolio.” For family grouping: “Group these saved patents into families.”

Connect an MCP client directly

For clients accepting this configuration format:

{

"mcpServers": { "lightbringer": { "type": "streamable-http", "url": "https://mcp.lightbringer.com/mcp" } } }

Other hosts use their own connector UI or transport label; follow the matching plugin package. General guidance is available through MCP when the workflow skills are not installed.

Tools

The table describes each tool's purpose. Its read/write labels follow readOnlyHint, not OAuth scope. Availability depends on consented scopes, permissions and service configuration; clients should discover their available tools and schemas through tools/list.
