Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Screen a brand name against the USPTO federal register — sound, class, live status, risk verdict.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

Install

Before you install

What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 8, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

  • screen_trademark

    Screen a brand name against the USPTO federal register. Read-only. Use this FIRST for any name. Returns JSON with a plain-English risk verdict (HIGH / MEDIUM-HIGH / MEDIUM / LOW), ranked conflicting marks (each with sound/appearance similarity, class relatedness, live/dead status

  • trademark_status

    Authoritative status for ONE mark you already know, by serial number (sn12345678) or registration number (rn1234567). Read-only. Returns JSON with the mark's live/dead status, owner, classes, goods/services, and filing/registration dates. Uses TSDR if a free key is set, otherwise

  • suggest_classes

    Suggest the Nice classes (1-45) a goods/services description falls under, with reasons. Read-only, pure reasoning — no live data, no register lookup. Input goodsDescription is what you sell (e.g. 'music streaming app'); the more specific it is, the better the classes. Returns JSO

  • analyze_name

    Analyze a brand name's strength WITHOUT checking the register — read-only, offline, deterministic (same name always gives the same result). Returns JSON with the distinctiveness spectrum (fanciful / arbitrary / suggestive / descriptive / generic), phonetic collisions to check, an

  • compare_marks

    Compare two specific names side-by-side. Read-only, deterministic — the same two names always give the same scores. Returns JSON with visual similarity, Jaro-Winkler, phonetic (Soundex) similarity, an overall confusion score (0-1), and a risk level. Use to compare two names you a

  • check_domains

    Check whether a brand name is free to register as a domain. Read-only. Returns JSON with one result per TLD (registered / available / unknown) — all TLDs are checked in parallel. Uses RDAP (the registry's own data, free, no key): 404 = not registered; 'unknown' = the TLD has no R

  • check_global_marks

    Check a brand name against EU + UK trademark registers via TMview (EUIPO-operated, offices EM + GB). Read-only. Returns JSON with the EU/UK hits scored the same way as screen_trademark, plus the classes used. Use AFTER screen_trademark when you also sell in the EU/UK; the US scre

  • request_watch_code

    Send a 6-digit verification code to an email address, for watch access. This sends an email (the only side effect) but creates nothing. Call it BEFORE list_watches, unwatch_mark, or attaching an email to a watch with watch_mark. The code expires in 10 minutes (5 tries); verifying

  • watch_mark

    Start watching a mark for NEW confusingly similar filings. This CREATES a watch (a side effect — it stores the watch and sends a confirmation email with the stop link). Runs a baseline screen first — everything already on the register is marked seen, so you are only alerted on fi

  • list_watches

    List the watches you ALREADY have — a read-only view, it does NOT check for new filings. Returns JSON with each watch's mark, classes, threshold, schedule, created/last-checked dates, total alerts so far, and the most recent new hits. Use this to see what you are watching; use ch

  • unwatch_mark

    Stop watching a mark. This DELETES the watch (a side effect — it is removed and will no longer be checked). Returns JSON { removed, ok: true }. If the watch has an email, you must prove you own it — pass the email and the 6-digit code from request_watch_code, or a session token.

  • check_watches

    Run a check for NEW filings RIGHT NOW (on all your watches, or one by id) — this actually queries the register, unlike list_watches which only shows what you have. Returns JSON with only the filings that appeared since the watch started / last check, scored by risk. Use this when

Common questions

Is Trademark Screen safe?

It passed 3 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

Either way works: install it on your computer or connect to the cloud version.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.11.7) reached the registry 3 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?
