How to Use the EPO Open Patent Services MCP in Mastra AI

Q: How do I integrate EPO Open Patent Services with Mastra AI?

Install @mastra/mcp. Initialize a new MCP client with the Vinkius URL, then call listTools() to spread the available tools into your agent's configuration.

Q: Does Mastra AI support human approval for EPO Open Patent Services searches?

Yes. You can enable requireToolApproval on specific tools. This pauses the workflow so a human can review the search parameters before it fires.

Q: How do I know if the MCP Server is active before running a workflow?

Your agent can invoke the checkapistatus tool as the first step in any branch. If the service is unreachable, it can alert an admin immediately.

Automate complex IP audits. Connect Mastra AI to the EPO database and build resilient patent research workflows.

Automate Patent Searches with Mastra AI

Manual prior art searches kill productivity. Plug this MCP Server into your Mastra AI workflow and let the agent hunt down published patents automatically using the `search_epo_patents` tool. This is not just a simple query. Because Mastra handles conditional branching, your agent can evaluate the search results, refine the parameters, and run it again until it finds exactly what you need.

Build Resilient Bibliographic Pipelines

Extracting metadata across hundreds of patents requires a system that will not crash on a single timeout. The `get_patent_bibliographic` tool pulls the exact inventor and filing data by document ID. Mastra's built-in exponential backoff shines here. If the EPO database hiccups, your workflow simply waits and retries. You get reliable data extraction without babysitting the script.

Audit Legal Status at Scale via MCP Server

A patent is useless if it expired yesterday. Use `get_patent_legal_status` to verify the current standing of any publication before your team commits resources. Start your workflow by running `check_api_status` to ensure the EPO service is online. If it is, the agent proceeds to audit the legal standing across your entire target portfolio, logging everything securely.

Setup guide

Set up EPO Open Patent Services MCP in Mastra AI

Prerequisites

Node.js 18+ and a TypeScript project
@mastra/mcp + @mastra/core packages
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install dependencies
Run npm install @mastra/mcp @mastra/core plus your preferred model provider (e.g. @ai-sdk/openai).
2

Configure the MCPClient
Create an MCPClient with your Vinkius endpoint as a URL object. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Discover and inject tools
Call mcpClient.listTools() and spread the result into your agent's tools object. All EPO Open Patent Services tools become native Mastra tools.
4

Run with any model
Swap openai("gpt-4o") for any AI SDK-compatible provider. Call agent.generate() and the agent routes tool calls through MCP automatically.

agent.ts

import { MCPClient } from "@mastra/mcp";
import { Agent } from "@mastra/core/agent";
import { openai } from "@ai-sdk/openai";

const mcpClient = new MCPClient({
  id: "epo-open-patent-services-mcp-client",
  servers: {
    "epo-open-patent-services-mcp": {
      url: new URL(
        "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
      ),
    },
  },
});

const agent = new Agent({
  name: "EPO Open Patent Services Agent",
  model: openai("gpt-4o"),
  instructions: "You have access to EPO Open Patent Services tools.",
  tools: {
    ...(await mcpClient.listTools()),
  },
});

const result = await agent.generate(
  "List recent EPO Open Patent Services transactions"
);
console.log(result.text);

Install `@mastra/mcp`. Initialize a new MCP client with the Vinkius URL, then call `listTools()` to spread the available tools into your agent's configuration.

Yes. Mastra features automatic retries with exponential backoff. If you hit an EPO limit, the workflow pauses and tries again automatically.

Yes. You can enable `requireToolApproval` on specific tools. This pauses the workflow so a human can review the search parameters before it fires.

Your agent can invoke the `check_api_status` tool as the first step in any branch. If the service is unreachable, it can alert an admin immediately.

The server processes document IDs and bibliographic metadata only. Every operation runs within an ephemeral, isolated environment. Once the API returns the data to Mastra, the sandbox terminates completely, ensuring your audit trails remain private.
