RemoteAbout mcp-for-patent-literature
Patsnap MCP Servers is a set of MCP servers built on Patsnap's proprietary databases, covering 200M+ patents, pharma records, scientific literature and R&D data. It is aimed at users who need prior art and R&D intelligence, and is grouped into Life Sciences, IP Intelligence and RD Innovation domains.
Key features
- 01Covers 200M+ patents across 170+ jurisdictions
- 02Organized into three domain groups
- 03Searches drugs, clinical trials and literature
- 04Requires an API key from Open Platform
Use cases
- 01Searching prior art and patent status
- 02Looking up drug targets and clinical trials
- 03Analyzing scientific literature and innovation reports
MCP support
The project is a collection of MCP servers, each with its own endpoint that MCP clients such as Claude Desktop, Cursor and Windsurf can connect to by URL.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
