Who it is for
Patent attorneys and analysts searching prior art and reviewing claims.
Patlytics
Semantic patent search, claim lookup and portfolio listing
Overview
What Patlytics does
Patlytics searches patents by concept rather than keyword. An invention described in plain prose returns the most relevant patents, which is a different operation from matching terms and tends to surface art that keyword search misses.
Around that sit three narrower functions: looking up any patent's claims and bibliographic data, searching scientific literature through OpenAlex, and pulling an organisation's own saved portfolios. The publisher is explicit that the five tools are read-only and structured instead of a single opaque interface, which makes the behaviour predictable. Community tier, documentation published.
Tool surface
The endpoint requires credentials, so five is the listing's count, and the publisher names them: semantic patent search optionally anchored to a reference patent, patent lookup with bibliographic data and full claims, non-patent literature search via OpenAlex, and private portfolio listings.

Where Patlytics is listed
Patlytics is listed in the Claude connectors directory only. Patlytics has no app under the same domain in the ChatGPT directory; 392 of the 3,150 products here are on both marketplaces, and this is not one of them.
The MCP server behind a Claude connector is usually the same server a ChatGPT app would need, so the absence is a distribution decision rather than a technical one.
Claude listing
In the Claude connectors directory
Patlytics publishes 5 tools to Claude, a deliberately narrow surface; only 22.3% of the 1,253 Claude-listed connectors expose fewer.
The median Claude-listed connector filed under Legal publishes 11, so this one sits 6 tools below its bucket's median, 22nd of 33.
It falls in the 4-6 tools band, which holds 16.2% of the Claude directory.
Patlytics publishes a remote MCP endpoint. Claude connects to it over HTTP; there is nothing to install locally.
Every connector in the Claude directory is remote, all 1,253 of them, so transport is not a differentiator there.

Patlytics is community-listed in the Claude directory, the tier 770 of 1,253 connectors sit in (61.5%). It is the default for a self-published server, and says nothing either way about quality.
In the publisher's words
How Patlytics describes it
Patlytics brings concept-level, AI-native patent search into your assistant: semantic, not keyword-based. Describe an invention in plain prose and get the most relevant patents, look up any patent's claims, search the scientific literature, and pull your own organization's saved patents, all through structured, predictable tools (not a black box). The connector's five tools are read-only: semantic patent search (optionally anchored to a reference patent), patent lookup (bibliographic data and full claims), non-patent literature search (via OpenAlex), and listings of your organization's private portfolios and vault. Search is semantic, so a richer description (how an invention works, the problem it solves, its components) returns better results. Access is for existing Patlytics users: each member signs in with their own account (OAuth), and results are scoped to their organization. Deeper work like freedom-to-operate opinions, infringement and invalidity claim charts, and patent drafting runs in the Patlytics web app, linked from every result.
