Use the hosted demo

The fastest path — nothing to install. Point any MCP-speaking client (Claude Code, OpenAI Codex CLI, Google Gemini CLI, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, Zed, Continue.dev, VS Code Copilot Chat, JetBrains AI, Claude Desktop, ChatGPT Apps, Replit Agent, CoWork, …) at the public demo at mcp.patentclient.com:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "patent-client-agents": {
      "url": "https://mcp.patentclient.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Most clients also expose a "custom connector" / "add MCP server" UI that takes just the URL https://mcp.patentclient.com/mcp — no tokens to paste. On first connect you'll be sent to Google sign-in; approve and you're in. Any verified Google account works. Usage is rate-limited per account (100 MB/day, 20 MB/minute).

This is a public demo — don't send confidential material through it. See the Terms of Use.

Or install locally

patent-client-agents is an MCP server, so it works with any MCP-speaking client — Claude Code, OpenAI Codex CLI, Google Gemini CLI, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, Zed, Continue.dev, VS Code Copilot Chat, JetBrains AI Assistant, Claude Desktop, ChatGPT (remote URL), and Replit Agent (remote URL). Three install paths cover everything:

Path A — Claude Code plugin (one-liner)

/plugin marketplace add parkerhancock/patent-client-agents
/plugin install patent-client-agents@patent-client-agents
/reload-plugins

Path B — Any other MCP client

pip install 'patent-client-agents[mcp]'

This puts patent-client-agents-mcp on PATH. Point your client's MCP config at it:

[mcp_servers.patent-client-agents]
command = "patent-client-agents-mcp"
env = { USPTO_ODP_API_KEY = "…" }

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "patent-client-agents": {
      "command": "patent-client-agents-mcp",
      "env": { "USPTO_ODP_API_KEY": "$USPTO_ODP_API_KEY" }
    }
  }
}

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "patent-client-agents": {
      "command": "patent-client-agents-mcp",
      "env": { "USPTO_ODP_API_KEY": "…" }
    }
  }
}

{
  "servers": {
    "patent-client-agents": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "patent-client-agents-mcp",
      "env": { "USPTO_ODP_API_KEY": "${input:uspto-odp-key}" }
    }
  },
  "inputs": [
    { "id": "uspto-odp-key", "type": "promptString", "description": "USPTO ODP API key", "password": true }
  ]
