Lightbringer MCP: a patent service for you and your AI agents

Lightbringer is a patent service for you and your AI agents. Bring us an invention, collaborate with our patent professionals, and follow its progress through your assistant or the Lightbringer application. Today your agent can capture invention disclosures, get review feedback and search your records from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and any MCP-compatible client.

What you and your agents get from Lightbringer

Five straight answers before you connect anything. Current as of September 2026.

1. What service am I buying?

Patent work delivered through Lightbringer's platform, agents and registered patent attorneys: patentability assessment, strategy, drafting, filing, prosecution and portfolio management, at one flat published price per application. Lightbringer is not a DIY tool; every application is drafted and reviewed by a registered patent attorney.

2. What can my agent do today?

  • Capture invention disclosures from a conversation, a design doc, a pull request or meeting notes
  • Get patent-grade review feedback on clarity, completeness and technical depth
  • Search the invention records and portfolio history your organisation has granted access to
  • Take part in supported reviews: read attorney comments, reply, approve or request changes

Submitting a disclosure sends it for review inside Lightbringer. It does not file anything with a patent office.

3. What happens through the wider service?

Engagement, drafting, filing, prosecution (responses to examiner feedback) and portfolio transfer run through Lightbringer's patent attorneys and the Lightbringer application. Your agent hands off at each of these points and can follow progress on the same case afterwards. "Request received", "engagement accepted" and "application filed" are distinct states and are never collapsed into one.

4. How do we start?

  1. Sign up free at app.lightbringer.com/signup and create or join an organisation
  2. An organisation moderator turns on MCP access under Settings, then Advanced
  3. Connect your assistant to https://mcp.lightbringer.com/mcp (OAuth 2.0 authorization code with PKCE; scopes mcp:read and mcp:write) and approve access for one organisation
  4. Ask "Who am I on Lightbringer?" to confirm the connection, then submit a first disclosure

Client-by-client setup steps

5. What is free, what costs money, what needs a human decision?

  • Free: the Platform tier, including the MCP connector, invention capture, patentability assessment, patent strategy and a pre-filing consultation
  • Paid: Starter at $7,200 / €5,999 / 59,995 SEK per patent application per year, plus official patent office fees. Growth: custom pricing for 5+ applications per year, plus official fees
  • Human decision: engaging Lightbringer for a filing, approving a draft for filing and instructing responses to a patent office are confirmed by an authorised person in your organisation, not by the agent

Lightbringer MCP connects AI assistants such as Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor to Lightbringer, the AI patent platform. Today your assistant can capture invention disclosures, get patent-grade review feedback, search the records you have access to and take part in supported reviews with registered patent attorneys, directly in chat. Drafting, filing with a patent office and prosecution happen through the wider Lightbringer service, with clear handoffs to our attorneys and the Lightbringer application.

Works where innovators work

Create invention disclosures through AI conversation

You capture what was invented, why it matters, and how it differs, without filling out forms. Invention disclosure management happens in the conversation.

Ask your assistant to:
Run a guided interview against your own disclosure template
Turn a design doc, PR, or meeting notes into a draft
Find missing technical details before submitting
Sharpen how the problem and solution are described

Patent intelligence, not just AI writing

Generic AI just writes. Lightbringer evaluates against patent review criteria for clarity, completeness, and technical depth. A stronger submission before counsel sees it.

Your assistant can answer:
What information is missing?
Which parts are unclear?
What will reviewers ask?
Is the technical problem defined?
Are alternative embodiments described?
Is the value clear?

Patent strategy powered by your innovation context

Your filings, portfolio, and R&D activity give AI the full picture. This is AI for IP management, grounded in your own portfolio, not the open web.

With permission-based access to your invention records and portfolio history, your assistant can:
Find related or overlapping inventions in your portfolio
Spot gaps in what has already been filed
Connect a new idea to existing work before duplicating it

Inventors and patent attorneys, connected in a single workflow

Review in
full context

Read attorney comments and redlines in context, reply to a passage, and approve or request changes without leaving your assistant.

Contribute to the discussion

Answer questions, approve changes, request revisions, and contribute to discussions from your AI assistant.

Attorneys stay in Lightbringer

Patent attorneys continue working in Lightbringer. Inventors can work from wherever they prefer.

Frontier models win at conversation. They cannot do patent-attorney-grade analysis, or know your portfolio history. Lightbringer MCP puts that expertise inside the assistant your team already uses daily. Submitting a disclosure through your assistant sends it for review inside Lightbringer; it does not file anything with a patent office. Every application is drafted and reviewed by a registered patent attorney before Lightbringer files it.

Frequently asked questions

Does Lightbringer MCP work with tools other than Claude, ChatGPT, and Codex?

Yes. Any MCP-compatible client that supports remote streamable HTTP servers with OAuth, including Cursor and Windsurf, connects using the same endpoint.

What data can my AI assistant access through the connector?

Read and write access to your invention disclosures, reviews, comments, and related patent-workflow documents, scoped to the single organisation you select at sign-in.

Will my assistant take actions without my approval?

No. Anything that only reads data runs freely. Anything that changes data, such as creating, updating, submitting, or commenting, is confirmed with you first by default.

What happens if my session loses access?

Run /mcp again in Claude Code, or reopen the connector settings in your client, and choose Re-authenticate.

Can I use Lightbringer MCP with more than one organisation?

Access is scoped to one organisation per connection. To switch, reconnect and select a different organisation at sign-in.

How is Lightbringer different from generic AI tools?

Generic AI only sees what is in the conversation. Lightbringer adds patent workflows, invention history, portfolio context, and attorney collaboration, so the guidance is relevant to your business. It is patent intelligence grounded in your own portfolio, reviewed by real attorneys.

Can I file a patent using AI?

Yes, with attorney oversight, but not from the chat alone. Lightbringer's AI drafts invention disclosures and prepares application drafts; registered patent attorneys review, refine and file them with the patent office. Through Lightbringer MCP your assistant can create a disclosure and submit it for review from Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor. Submitting a disclosure starts the process inside Lightbringer. It does not file anything with a patent office: the decision to engage Lightbringer, the approval of a draft and the filing itself are confirmed by an authorised person in your organisation and carried out by Lightbringer.

Does a real patent attorney review the work?

Yes. AI does the heavy lifting, and registered patent attorneys handle judgment, strategy and quality. You can read attorney comments, reply and approve changes directly from your assistant, and attorneys work in Lightbringer as they always have.

How is Lightbringer MCP different from patent search MCP servers?

Patent search MCP servers give your assistant read access to public patent databases. Lightbringer MCP gives it read and write access to your own invention disclosures, reviews and attorney comments, scoped to one organisation. Today your assistant can capture disclosures, get patent-grade review feedback, search your records and take part in supported reviews. Drafting, filing with a patent office and prosecution then run through Lightbringer's registered patent attorneys and the Lightbringer application, and your assistant can follow progress on the same case. Search tells you what exists. Lightbringer takes you from a disclosure to a filed application.

What does Lightbringer MCP cost?

Nothing to connect or to use the platform. The Lightbringer Platform tier, including the MCP connector, invention capture, patentability assessment, strategy and a pre-filing consultation, is free. You pay only when Lightbringer files an application for you: Starter is $7,200 / €5,999 / 59,995 SEK per patent application per year, plus official patent office fees, and covers strategy, drafting, filing and responses to examiner feedback. Growth, for five or more applications a year, is custom priced. No hourly rates, no surprise invoices. Prices current as of September 2026; see the pricing page for the full breakdown.

Do I need a Lightbringer account to use the MCP?

Yes. You need a Lightbringer account and an organisation, and an organisation moderator must turn on MCP access in the Lightbringer app under Settings, then Advanced. If you are new to Lightbringer, sign up free at app.lightbringer.com/signup and create your organisation first. The Platform tier costs nothing; access through the connector is scoped to one organisation per connection.

What can my AI assistant actually see and touch through the connector?

It can read and write your invention disclosures, attorney reviews, comments, and related patent-workflow documents, scoped to the single organisation you selected at sign-in. Worth being clear about what that means in practice: once your assistant reads that data, it's in your session with that assistant's provider, and Lightbringer has no control over how long they keep it or whether it's used for anything else. We'd recommend checking your provider's own data controls before connecting sensitive, pre-filing invention details.
