PatentReply MCP — USPTO Patent Prosecution for Claude and ChatGPT

Connect your AI to the patent file wrapper. Open a U.S. patent matter in Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor and work with an assistant that has the prosecution record organized and indexed: claims, Office Actions, cited references, and the specification.

Review a rejection, check the examiner's citations, prepare for an interview, or develop a response plan. PatentReply supplies the record and workflow; you direct the strategy and approve the plan before response drafting.

How it works

1. Connect once. Add the hosted Model Context Protocol (MCP) server to your AI client and approve the PatentReply sign-in.
2. Open a matter. Give your AI an application number. PatentReply retrieves the public USPTO file wrapper and builds the working record. The first compilation can take a few minutes.
3. Work through the case. Ask questions, inspect the source passages, and develop a response. An attorney approves the response plan on PatentReply before the gated drafting tools generate the response and claim listing.

After connecting, replace the bracketed text with your application number:

Open U.S. application [your application number] in PatentReply. Summarize

the current claims and prosecution posture, and flag any missing or disputed

record material before we discuss strategy.

Claude Code plugin

Install the packaged skills, commands, and MCP connection together:

claude plugin marketplace add patentreply/patentreply-mcp

claude plugin install patentreply@patentreply

Start a Claude Code session, run /mcp, and complete the PatentReply sign-in. Then try /patentreply:status with an application number, or use ordinary language. Other commands are /patentreply:oa, /patentreply:respond, and /patentreply:interview.

The plugin already declares the hosted MCP server as patent-kb. Choose this installation or the MCP-only connection; see existing connections if you already added the endpoint manually.

Evidence and attorney control

PatentReply makes the compiled claims, Office Actions, cited references, specification, and prosecution history available to your AI. Record citations use pkb:// verification addresses into the stored matter. Legal-authority tools retrieve MPEP and other supported authority text for the analysis.

The workflow checks the record before drafting and surfaces missing source material, unresolved citations, and disputed claim text. A source address lets you inspect the evidence; the attorney still evaluates the conclusion.

Response planning and drafting are separate stages. A plan revision is submitted for a registered practitioner's approval on the PatentReply approval page. After approval, the hosted service generates the response Word document and the 37 CFR 1.121 claim listing for attorney review. A confirmation in chat does not sign the plan, and PatentReply does not file papers with the USPTO.

Public repository and service

This is the official public repository for PatentReply setup instructions, registry metadata, and the Claude plugin. The hosted service is operated by Patent Agentic LLC.

The plugin/ tree is generated from the PatentReply build and replaced on release. Report changes through an issue so they can be made in the source build. See maintenance guidance.

Privacy and support

PatentReply receives the arguments your AI sends in its tool calls, including any text or documents you choose to supply through the workflow. It does not independently read your conversation history, client memory, or local files. PatentReply does not use your matters to train models. Your AI provider's handling of the conversation is governed separately.
