What the Solve Intelligence connector does

The Solve Intelligence MCP server connects patent research corpora to Claude, ChatGPT and any MCP-compatible agent. Its nine tools search global patent literature, non-patent literature, patent law and case law, and SEP technical standards. Every tool reads; none drafts, edits or files anything. Sign-in is OAuth and requires an existing Solve subscription.

Limits

  • One OAuth scope covers everything. The RFC 9728 descriptor at https://api.solveintelligence.com/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource advertises exactly offline_access and mcp:ask_solve. Only the second governs data, and it is undifferentiated: consent cannot grant patent search without also granting legal-text and standards retrieval. There is no write scope to withhold, which is the reassuring half — but there is also no boundary between the nine reads. Compare Patlytics, which offers two typed read scopes.
  • mcp:ask_solve names a verb no tool carries. A scope naming an operation absent from the tool list is normally evidence of a surface you have not seen. Here the mismatch reads as a product-level grant name — "ask Solve" is how Solve markets its Copilot — rather than a hidden operation, because the scope verb is a read and the tools are all reads. We could not rule out the alternative, because the endpoint would not enumerate itself to us.
  • The documentation URL in Anthropic's directory is not publicly readable. https://api.solveintelligence.com/guide/mcp/intro/ returns HTTP 307 to https://copilot.solveintelligence.com/guide, which serves a 4,752-byte single-page-app shell identically for every guide path. The app's own bundle shows the guide rendered in an iframe under an /_authenticated/guide/$ route pointing back at the API host. The real guide is behind sign-in. This page is built from Solve's public blog posts instead.
  • Solve publishes no tool names, so a rename would be invisible. We diffed the directory's nine names against Solve's statement of what the connector excludes — a semantic match against a negative list, not a literal-string match in both directions. Nothing contradicts the listing, and nothing would reveal a silent rename or a quietly added tool.
  • No tool schemas or safety annotations could be read. The endpoint returned 401 to an anonymous request on 2026-08-23, so no parameter-level detail is published here — including the parameter-level check that would rule a dispatcher in or out.
  • No dynamic client registration. Solve's authorization server declares no registration_endpoint. Clients requiring DCR-based OAuth will need credentials supplied another way.
  • Solve documents the accuracy problem in its own field, plainly. Its writing on AI in patent prosecution states that anyone presenting AI-assisted content to the USPTO must reasonably review it, that courts have already sanctioned attorneys over AI-hallucinated citations, and that the EPO Guidelines hold a representative responsible for a document's content regardless of the tool used. It names automation bias as its fifth risk. Verify every citation the agent returns.
  • Prosecution-history estoppel makes plausible output expensive. Solve notes that an argument characterising an invention more narrowly than necessary can permanently surrender claim scope, and that because it sounds reasonable the error can survive review and surface years later. That risk attaches to what you file, not to what this connector returns — but the connector is a source of the text.
  • Open web reach is your agent's, not Solve's. Solve's infringement-detection example combines patent analysis with open web research. No tool among the nine fetches a web page.
  • Access requires an existing subscription and an admin. Only Solve organization administrators can enable the integration, and both a Solve and a Claude subscription are required.
  • Whether anything is metered per call is unresolved. Solve publishes no pricing page and no rate, its terms bill by subscription in advance, and no tool can report a balance. We could not establish whether an Order Form may meter search volume.

Frequently asked questions

Can the Solve Intelligence connector draft, edit or file a patent application?

No. All nine tools carry read verbs — search, get, list, read, grep, lookup — and none writes to a document, a docket or a patent office. Solve states in its launch announcement that customers wanting its drafting, prosecution and claim charting tools will find those inside the Solve platform, not through this connector.

Why does the directory say Solve can draft patents when the tools cannot?

Because the description covers what Claude can do with retrieved material, not what the connector writes. Anthropic's directory one-liner reads search, draft, and chart patents, and its permissions field for this same entry reads Read. Any drafting happens as text in the Claude conversation. Nothing lands in Solve.

Does a Solve Intelligence MCP search cost credits?

Solve publishes no per-search rate, no credit balance and no public pricing page. Its terms bill a subscription fee in advance against an Order Form rather than by metered usage, and no tool among the nine can report a balance or quota. So the marginal cost of a call is unpredictable from outside your contract.

What OAuth permissions does the Solve Intelligence MCP server request?

Two, and only one governs data. The server's RFC 9728 descriptor and its 401 challenge both advertised offline_access and mcp:ask_solve on 2026-08-23. Because a single scope covers all nine tools, consent cannot separate public patent search from legal research or standards retrieval. It is one grant, all or nothing.

Who can use the Solve Intelligence MCP server?

Existing Solve customers whose organization administrator has enabled it. Solve states the integration requires active subscriptions to both Solve Intelligence and Claude, and that only Solve organization administrators can enable it for their users. Solve also recommends obtaining IT approval before connecting. There is no self-serve path from the connector.

Is the Solve Intelligence MCP documentation publicly readable?

No. The documentation URL Anthropic publishes returns HTTP 307 to an authenticated single-page app whose guide is rendered in an iframe behind sign-in, verified on 2026-08-23. Solve's public launch blog post carries the connector detail instead, and it is what this page is built from.

What data does the Solve connector send outside Solve's infrastructure?

Whatever you put in a Claude conversation. Solve states that when using Solve through Claude, security and data locality depend on your own Claude subscription and Anthropic's policies rather than Solve's infrastructure alone. Solve separately warns that unpublished application material can raise export-control and foreign-filing-license problems.

Can the connector see my organization's confidential Solve documents?

Nothing we found says it can. The nine tools name patents, non-patent literature, legal texts and standards — all external corpora — and none names a document, project, matter or workspace object. Solve publishes no schema for these tools, so treat this as the tool names' scope rather than a guarantee.
