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 and collaborate with our patent professionals. Track automated feedback through your assistant. Follow patent-preparation, filing and prosecution progress through the Lightbringer application and your patent team. Today your agent can capture invention disclosures, get automated 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 automated feedback on clarity, problem framing and completeness
  • 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

Register and refine innovations in Lightbringer. When you decide to pursue patent filing, request patent preparation as a separate step.

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. Track automated feedback through your assistant. Follow patent-preparation, filing and prosecution progress through the Lightbringer application and your patent team. "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 enables MCP during connection or under Settings → Advanced; other members can connect once MCP is enabled
  3. Connect your assistant to https://mcp.lightbringer.com/mcp (OAuth 2.1 Authorization Code + PKCE (S256), with Dynamic Client Registration; 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

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

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.

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 connects Lightbringer and adds three guided workflows: capture and refine innovations, request patent preparation, and respond to patent-team reviews.

ChatGPT and Codex

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

Other AI assistants and MCP clients

If your assistant supports the Agent Plugin standard, install the Lightbringer Agent Plugin. It includes the MCP connection and three workflow skills: innovation capture, patent preparation and patent review.

For other clients supporting remote MCP over Streamable HTTP with OAuth, add https://mcp.lightbringer.com/mcp, sign in to Lightbringer, and select your organisation. A direct MCP connection provides the tools but does not install the workflow skills.

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 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 authorization 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 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. 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 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 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.
