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.

What you can do

Task	Try asking your AI
Understand the prosecution history	"What changed in this application, and which claims are currently pending?"
Analyze an Office Action	"Review each rejection and show the claims and evidence the examiner relies on."
Verify a cited passage	"Show the cited paragraph of the primary reference and compare it with claim 1."
Check patent prosecution authority	"Retrieve MPEP 2143.01 and explain how it relates to this rejection."
Prepare an examiner interview	"Help me prepare an interview agenda and fallback positions for this matter."
Plan amendments and a response	"Develop response options for each rejection, with specification support for proposed amendments."
Review a draft before filing	"Give me an upload link for my response draft, then run QC against the record."

Explore the workflows and tools and walk through an Office Action review. Feature access and usage allowances depend on your plan.

Client	Get started
Claude web, desktop, or mobile	Add a custom connector using the server URL, then approve the sign-in. Claude guide.
ChatGPT	Add PatentReply as a custom MCP plugin with OAuth. ChatGPT setup and compatibility URL.
Claude Code	Install the plugin below, or use the MCP-only connection.

The connection guide covers authentication, first use, and troubleshooting.

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.
