Lightbringer MCP: AI patent management in Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor

Bring AI patent management into Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor. Create invention disclosures, file patents with AI and work with real patent attorneys, without leaving chat.

Lightbringer MCP connects AI assistants such as Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor to Lightbringer, the AI patent platform. Your assistant creates invention disclosures, runs patent-grade reviews and works with registered patent attorneys directly in chat. Unlike patent search connectors, it covers the full filing workflow, from idea capture to attorney-reviewed submission.

Works where innovators work

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 against your own disclosure 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. Lightbringer evaluates against patent review criteria for clarity, completeness, and technical depth. A stronger submission before counsel sees it.

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.

Frontier models win at conversation. They can't do patent-attorney-grade analysis, or know your portfolio history. Lightbringer MCP puts that expertise inside the assistant your team already uses daily. Every filing is reviewed by a registered patent attorney before it reaches a patent office.

  1. Open Customize, then Connectors.
  2. Click Add, then Browse connectors.
  3. Search for Lightbringer.
  4. Click Connect and sign in with email, Google, or Microsoft.

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 adds an agent skill that mines your repos, docs, and tickets for patentable problem and solution pairs, then drafts the disclosure.

ChatGPT

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

OpenAI Codex

Add Lightbringer as a custom MCP server in any client that supports remote streamable HTTP servers with OAuth, then sign in and select your organization.

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 and write access to your invention disclosures, reviews, comments, and related patent-workflow documents, scoped to the single organisation you select at sign-in.

Will my assistant take actions without my approval?

No. Anything that only reads data runs freely. Anything that changes data, such as creating, updating, submitting, or commenting, is confirmed with you first by default.

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. Lightbringer's AI drafts invention disclosures and prepares filings, and registered patent attorneys review, refine and file them. Lightbringer MCP brings that workflow into Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor, so you can start a filing from the assistant you already use.

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 connects the full filing workflow: it creates and reviews invention disclosures, connects inventors with patent attorneys and manages filings in your own portfolio. Search tells you what exists. Lightbringer helps you file.

What does Lightbringer MCP cost?

Nothing. The Lightbringer platform, including the MCP connector, is free to use. You only pay when you file: a fixed price per patent application, covering strategy, drafting, filing and prosecution. No hourly rates, no surprise invoices. See current plans on our pricing page.

Do I need a Lightbringer account to use the MCP?

Yes. An administrator also needs to enable MCP access for your organisation in the Lightbringer app. If you are new to Lightbringer, sign up free at app.lightbringer.com, the platform costs nothing to use.
