Solve Intelligence MCP server now available in Claude

Last week, we shared how Solve Intelligence is powered by Claude across our platform, from patent application drafting to office action responses and claim chart generation. We’re now taking the next step: making a selection of Solve Intelligence’s capabilities accessible inside Claude through our new MCP server, available from today.

This MCP connection means that users who have both a Solve Intelligence subscription and a Claude subscription can use some basic Solve features directly within Claude, so long as the connection is enabled. Claude gains access to global patent literature across every major jurisdiction; non-patent literature including scientific papers, books, theses, datasets, and journals; patent legal texts and case law across key jurisdictions including the US, Europe, Japan, and Australia; and SEP technical standard documentation. A Solve subscription is still required to use this integration.

A Patent Solution Built for Real IP Work

General-purpose AI assistants are powerful, but they aren’t built for patent work. They lack access to the specialised corpora, legal texts, technical standards, and analytical tools that IP professionals rely on every day. Ask a generic assistant to perform an invalidity search, map a claim onto H.266, or conduct an FTO search in China, and you’ll quickly hit the limits of what it can do.

Solve Intelligence's MCP server changes that. Connect once, and Claude gains access to:

  • Global patent literature across every major jurisdiction
  • Non-patent literature including scientific papers, books, theses, datasets, and journals
  • Patent legal texts and case law across key jurisdictions including the US, Europe, Japan, and Australia 
  • SEP technical standard documentation 

This is a subset of the patent intelligence stack our customers already trust, now accessible through Claude. The MCP connection covers a useful range of Solve’s capabilities, though for more complex workflows the full Solve platform offers additional tools and deeper integrations.

What You Can Do With Solve in Claude

The Solve Intelligence MCP server supports a number of the workflows patent professionals run every day. For example:

Infringement Detection
  • “Search for products that infringe US10445884B2.” Claude combines patent claim analysis with open web research to identify candidate products and articulate the infringement read.
Legal Research
  • Ask Claude: “What is the approach to patentability of simulation inventions in the US, Europe, and Japan?” Claude will search across primary legal texts and case law in each jurisdiction and synthesise a grounded comparative analysis.
Freedom-to-Operate Searching
  • “Conduct a FTO search in China for the attached product.” Claude analyses the product, generates targeted search strategies, and identifies potentially blocking patents in the relevant jurisdiction.
Invalidity Searching
  • “Perform an invalidity search for US12345678B1.” Claude retrieves the patent’s claims, searches global patent and non-patent literature for relevant prior art, and surfaces the strongest references with citations.
SEP Mapping
  • “Does my claim 1 still read onto the H.266 technical standard?” Claude pulls the relevant sections of the standard and maps each claim element against the technical specification.
Patent Document Analysis & Drafting
  • “Analyse US12345678B1 and suggest potential 101 and 112 invalidity attacks.” Claude retrieves the patent, evaluates the claims and specification, and proposes substantive grounds for challenge.

These are the same basic workflows that 600+ IP teams already run on Solve Intelligence, now accessible through a conversational interface backed by frontier-grade reasoning.

Users looking for Solve’s full suite of drafting, prosecution, and claim charting tools will find those inside the Solve platform.

Why MCP, and Why Now

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) gives users a standardised way to connect specialised tools and data sources to Claude. For patent professionals, this matters because IP work is inherently multi-source, a single FTO opinion may require pulling from patent databases, technical standards, case law, and product information on the web.

By exposing a selection of Solve Intelligence’s research and analysis capabilities through the MCP, we’re offering an additional access point for patent professionals who already use Claude.

A Note on Security and Data Handling

Patent work involves some of the most sensitive material in any legal practice, such as invention disclosures, privileged communications, and unpublished applications. Solve Intelligence is SOC 2 certified and adheres to ISO 42001, ISO 27001, GDPR, and CCPA requirements. No data uploaded to or generated by our platform is ever used to train any AI model. All data is encrypted with AES-256 and TLS 1.3, and customers choose where their data is stored and processed.

When using Solve through Claude, the security and data locality provisions will depend on the user’s own Claude subscription and Anthropic’s policies, rather than Solve’s infrastructure alone. For this reason, only Solve organization administrators can enable this integration for their users, and we recommend obtaining IT approval before connecting.

Choosing the right way to use Solve

The Claude connection is an optional access point for Solve customers who already use Claude. It requires active subscriptions to both Solve and Claude and provides only a selection of Solve’s research and analysis capabilities. For the complete patent-specific experience, including broader workflows, model choice, drafting, prosecution, and claim charting, customers should work directly in Solve. If your primary need is patent work and you are choosing a single platform, we recommend Solve; a separate Claude subscription is not required.

Page White Farrer Adopts Solve Intelligence and Solve's AI Templates

Page White Farrer ("PWF"), a specialist intellectual property firm with a longstanding focus on technology-driven innovation, has selected Solve Intelligence to support patent application drafting following an extensive evaluation of available AI tools. The firm has initially deployed the platform within its technology-focused patent teams, supporting work across sectors such as AI, software, telecommunications, electronics, semiconductors and engineering. 

The firm's objective was not to automate legal judgement or replace attorney expertise, but to accelerate the preparation of high-quality first drafts of patent applications. By combining AI-assisted drafting with custom templates tailored to the firm's preferred drafting approaches, Solve Intelligence helps attorneys move from an initial claim set to a reviewable first draft more efficiently while maintaining consistency and technical accuracy. 

For this partnership, PWF's primary focus was on configuring the platform around the firm's own drafting conventions, client preferences and established best practices, ensuring that the technology supports the way its attorneys already work. 

The Honest Risks of Using AI in Patent Prosecution

AI is changing how patent prosecution gets done, and the upside is real. So are the downsides: hallucinated citations, confidentiality exposure, export-control pitfalls, and prosecution-history estoppel. This is an honest account of the risks of AI patent software in prosecution, and what actually reduces each one.

Key takeaways

  • Anyone presenting AI-assisted content to the USPTO must reasonably review it; relying on the tool's accuracy alone is not enough.
  • Courts have already sanctioned attorneys for AI-hallucinated citations, and similar risk applies to office-action responses and PTAB briefs.
  • The USPTO warns that AI tools on foreign servers can raise export-control, foreign-filing-license, and national-security problems.
  • Grounded citations, exposed reasoning, zero data retention, and attorney oversight are what materially reduce AI risk in patent prosecution.

Maiwald Chooses Solve Intelligence for Selected AI-Supported IP Workflows

Solve Intelligence is proud to share that Maiwald, one of Germany’s largest and most progressive intellectual property firms, works with Solve Intelligence on selected AI-supported workflows in its patent and legal practice groups. Following an evaluation period during which selected functionalities were assessed for approved internal use cases, Maiwald and Solve have formed an enterprise partnership for 2026.

The rollout reflects the same careful approach Maiwald brings to its client work. Solve enables customers in Europe to process data on servers located within Europe and holds recognized information-security certifications. In addition, Solve offers contractual commitments designed to protect confidential professional information in line with applicable statutory confidentiality obligations and professional conduct requirements. Against that background, any use of AI-supported tools took place only within approved governance structures and under applicable professional, contractual, confidentiality and data-protection requirements.

That balance of innovation and professional judgment is characteristic of Maiwald. The firm has spent decades setting a standard for IP work in Europe: rigorous prosecution, a formidable contentious practice, and interdisciplinary teams of patent attorneys and attorneys-at-law working side by side. The firm approached AI the same way, methodically, with a clear sense of where it adds leverage and where an experienced attorney’s judgment remains irreplaceable.
