Lightbringer MCP: AI patent management in Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor

Bring AI patent management into Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor. Create invention disclosures, get attorney feedback, and manage patents in chat.

Your AI now talks to the lawyer for you. Your assistant works with Lightbringer AI. A human attorney checks the result.

Works where innovators work

Capture inventions 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 can't do patent-attorney-grade analysis, or know your portfolio history. Lightbringer MCP puts that expertise inside the assistant your team already uses daily.

Set up in a few minutes

Step 1: Enable MCP access

An administrator must enable MCP access for your organization in the Lightbringer app. In the cog icon menu, go to Advanced Settings, turn on "Enable MCP access for this organization", and save. Without this, sign-in fails.

Step 2: Connect your client

Claude, web and desktop

  1. Open Customize, then Connectors.
  2. Click Add, then Browse connectors.
  3. Search for Lightbringer.
  4. Click Connect and sign in with email, Google, or Microsoft.
  5. Approve read and write access, then select your organization.
Plugin recommended

Claude Code

  1. Run /plugin marketplace add lightbringer-patents/claude-plugin
  2. Run /plugin install lightbringer@lightbringer
  3. Run /mcp and pick lightbringer for authentication.
  4. Authenticate in the browser and select your organization.

The plugin adds an agent skill that mines your repos, docs, and tickets for patentable problem and solution pairs, then drafts the disclosure.

ChatGPT

  1. Search for Lightbringer in ChatGPT Plugins.
  2. Click Install and sign in with email, Google, or Microsoft.
  3. Select your organization.

OpenAI Codex

Add Lightbringer as a custom MCP server in any client that supports remote streamable HTTP servers with OAuth, then sign in and select your organization.

MCP server endpoint:

https://mcp.lightbringer.com/mcp

Step 3: Confirm the connection

Once connected, ask "Who am I on Lightbringer?" to confirm it works.

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 organization 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 organization?

Access is scoped to one organization per connection. To switch, reconnect and select a different organization 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.
