Lightbringer MCP is live

Never explain an invention twice

Explain it once in Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor. Lightbringer carries it into your IP record, ready for review.
Write up the sensor fusion change from Tuesday’s standup as an invention.
Using Lightbringer

Done. I pulled the reasoning from the PR and #eng-perception and drafted the disclosure in Lightbringer. Two details are missing before your Lightbringer attorney can review it.

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 using Lightbringer's current innovation 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. Get automated feedback on clarity, problem framing and completeness, for a stronger submission before counsel sees it. Professional novelty assessment, patent strategy and attorney review are separate services.

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

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 accessible innovations, patent documents, reports and reviews. Create and update innovation records, request feedback and patent preparation, and post review comments and responses. Access is scoped to the single organisation you select at sign-in.

Will my assistant take actions without my approval?

Your assistant follows your instructions and its permission settings. Lightbringer enforces your organisation's access permissions and consented scopes. The workflow skills require explicit intent for patent preparation and authorisation for posted review feedback.

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 register and refine innovations in Lightbringer from Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor. When you decide to pursue patent filing, request patent preparation as a separate step. Registering an innovation 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 Starter plan, including the MCP connector, invention capture, patentability checks and IP landscape search, is free with no time limit. Pro is €2,000 / $2,400 / £2,000 / 20,000 SEK per quarter, plus official patent office fees, and includes one patent draft a year, a novelty assessment, registered trade secrets, management of up to two patent families and Lightbringer as your attorney of record. Growth, for larger portfolios, is custom priced. Examiner interviews, appeals and oppositions are quoted hourly. Prices current as of October 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. Organisation moderators can enable MCP during connection or under Settings → Advanced; other members can connect once MCP is enabled. If you are new to Lightbringer, sign up free at app.lightbringer.com/signup and create your organisation first. The Starter plan 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 accessible innovations, patent documents, reports and reviews, create and update innovation records, request feedback and patent preparation, and post review comments and responses, 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.
