What is the PatentsView MCP Server?
Equip your AI agent with the definitive source for US patent data through the PatentsView MCP server. This integration provides real-time access to the USPTO's massive database of granted patents. Your agent can search for patents by title or keyword, retrieve detailed metadata including abstracts and assignees, and explore information about inventors and their complete portfolios. Whether you are conducting intellectual property research, tracking innovation trends, or auditing corporate assets, your agent acts as a dedicated patent examiner through natural conversation.
What you can do
- Patent Search — Find US patents by keyword, title, or patent number.
- Inventor Discovery — Search for inventors and retrieve their complete list of granted patents.
- Abstract Retrieval — Access technical summaries and descriptions for thousands of innovations.
- Innovation Auditing — Track the patent portfolios of specific individuals or organizations.

Frequently asked questions
Can I find all patents assigned to a specific inventor?
Yes! Use the search_inventors tool with the inventor's last name. The response will include their ID, and you can then retrieve their full portfolio of granted patents.
How can I get the full technical abstract of a patent?
Use the get_patent_details tool with the specific patent number. The engine will return exhaustive metadata, including the official abstract filed with the USPTO.
Is it possible to see which company owns a patent?
Yes. The patent details include the 'assignee organization' field, which identifies the company or entity that currently holds the rights to the patent.
How does Windsurf discover MCP tools?
Windsurf reads the mcp_config.json file on startup and connects to each configured server via Streamable HTTP. Tools are listed in the MCP panel and available to Cascade automatically.
Can Cascade chain multiple MCP tool calls?
Yes. Cascade is an agentic system. it can plan and execute multi-step workflows, calling several tools in sequence to accomplish complex tasks without manual prompting between steps.
Does Windsurf support multiple MCP servers?
Yes. Add as many servers as needed in mcp_config.json. Each server's tools appear in the MCP panel and Cascade can use tools from different servers in a single flow.
