Security Report

4.2
Use Caution4.2High Risk

The Patent Intelligence MCP server is well-structured with proper authentication via Bearer tokens and x402 payment gating. Core security controls are in place: API keys are stored in environment variables, credentials are not hardcoded, and the server implements rate limiting through a free-tier system. However, there are moderate concerns around input validation in query parameters, potential information disclosure in error responses, and limited validation of external API responses from USPTO and Solana RPC endpoints. Permissions are appropriately scoped for a patent data tool. Supply chain analysis found 5 known vulnerabilities in dependencies (1 critical, 3 high severity).

Patent Intelligence MCP

Patent intelligence for AI agents — patent search, USPTO data, patent landscape, technology trends, and semantic prior-art search (pgvector) over USPTO PatentsView data.

Part of the FoundryNet Data Network. Every result carries verifiable provenance so you can confirm it was produced by this server, unaltered. See also: gov-contracts-mcp, brand-intel-mcp.

Free tier: 25 paid-tool queries/day per agent (plus free patent_detail + mint_info). Pass agent_id to scope your allowance. After that, the tool returns an HTTP-402 with a payment challenge — settle it, then re-call with the same args plus payment_tx=<reference>. An Authorization: Bearer fnet_… key bypasses the paywall.

How it works

A daily task (~5am PT) ingests patents granted in the last day from the USPTO PatentsView Search API, maps them to a normalized schema, embeds abstracts with fastembed (BAAI/bge-small-en-v1.5, local, no API key), and stores them in a standalone Supabase project. prior_art_search embeds your query and ranks by pgvector cosine similarity. A rolling patent_assignees summary powers company_patents.

Honesty note: claims_count isn't exposed by the PatentsView patent endpoint, so it's left null (a future enrichment hook); citation_count and the rest come straight from PatentsView.
