Patlytics Tools & Capabilities (5)
Tool names from Anthropic's directory listing. This server requires sign-in, so we could not read tool descriptions or parameter schemas.
Limits
- Existing customers only. There is no trial or self-serve path through the connector. Patlytics states the connector is for existing users and directs everyone else to its website.
- The scopes do not separate public from private.
patent:searchandpatent:readare both reads, which is a real boundary against writes — but no scope divides searching the public patent corpus from listing your organization's private vault. Consent is all-or-nothing across those two very different sensitivities. - Metering is unknown and unobservable. No published rate, no pricing page, no balance tool. See the spending section above.
- No tool schemas or safety annotations could be read. The endpoint returned 401 to an anonymous request, so the parameter detail on this page comes from Patlytics' documentation rather than from a
tools/listresponse. - Three of five names are matched by label, not by string. Patlytics' tool table uses human labels; only
list_portfoliosandlist_vault_patentsappear as literal identifiers. The parameter lists make the mapping firm, but a rename of the other three would not surface in a set diff. - The analysis work is not here. Freedom-to-operate, infringement, invalidity, claim charting and drafting run in the Patlytics web app. So does the "150+ Skills" agent Patlytics markets. Nothing in that surface is reachable through this connector.
search_nplreturns metadata for paywalled papers, not full text. Patlytics documents that paid-access references get an external link for you to download under your own subscription.- Patlytics' own edge blocks some standard fetches.
llms.txt,llms-full.txtandrobots.txtonmcp.patlytics.aiall returned a Cloudflare block page on 2026-08-22, while the nominated docs URL and the OAuth metadata paths served normally. That is a WAF response to our client, not a statement of the server's policy, and arobots.txtfor that host could not be read as a result. - The support address differs between sources. Anthropic's directory records
support@patlytics.com; the Patlytics website footer giveshello@patlytics.com. Both are listed below. - We did not verify tool behaviour. No tool was called. Every behavioural claim on this page is Patlytics' documented description, attributed as such.
Frequently asked questions
No. All five tools read. Patlytics states in its connector documentation that every tool is read-only, and no tool name carries a create, update, delete or upload verb. The OAuth server offers only patent:search and patent:read as scopes, so there is no write permission for the connector to request.
Patlytics publishes no per-search rate and no credit balance anywhere we could find. It sells by enterprise Order Form, its terms set fees in that form rather than by metered usage, and it publishes no pricing page. So the cost of a call is unpredictable from outside, and no tool in the connector can report a balance.
Existing Patlytics customers only. Patlytics' connector documentation states the connector is for existing users, that each member signs in individually with their own account, and that results are scoped to their organization. The portfolio and vault tools additionally require your organization to have patents already saved in Patlytics.
Yes, through the vault tool. Patlytics documents that list_vault_patents covers patents your organization has saved or uploaded, explicitly including unpublished drafts. That is the connector's most sensitive read: pre-filing material your organization has not disclosed enters the agent's context alongside public patent data.
No. Patlytics states that deeper work — freedom-to-operate opinions, infringement analysis, invalidity and drafting — runs in the Patlytics web app rather than through the connector, and that results link back to it. The connector covers search, lookup and listing only.
Two, and both are reads. Patlytics' authorization server metadata advertised patent:search and patent:read on 2026-08-22, and its RFC 9728 resource descriptor names the same pair. Because no write scope exists, the consent screen cannot grant one — but neither scope separates public patent search from your organization's private vault.
Because it queries OpenAlex, an open bibliographic index that catalogues paywalled work. Patlytics documents that search_npl runs against OpenAlex and that its platform labels each reference open access or paid access, providing an external link for the latter so you download it under your own subscription. The connector returns metadata, not the full text of paid papers.
Patlytics states it does not. Its security page carries the heading that customer data is not used to train or tune models and repeats the guarantee in its FAQ. Patlytics also lists SOC 2 Type 2, ISO 27001 and ISO 42001 certification, and states that user history is stored for 90 days and can be deleted.
