# Lightbringer MCP: Patent Management Inside ChatGPT, Claude, and Cursor

[Lightbringer](https://lightbringer.com) brings invention capture, patent strategy, and attorney collaboration directly into the AI tools deep tech companies already use to research, build, and commercialize breakthrough innovations — via the [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/) (MCP).

> **Note:** This is a metadata/documentation repository for a **remote, hosted** MCP server. The server is operated by Lightbringer at the endpoint below — there is no code to install or run locally.

## What it does

- **Invention documentation** — Create and refine patent disclosures through natural conversation with your AI assistant: summarize novelty, convert meeting notes into invention reports, and identify missing technical details.
- **Patent-focused analysis** — Unlike generic AI writing tools, Lightbringer analyzes your invention using patent-focused review criteria designed to improve clarity, completeness, technical depth, and overall disclosure quality.
- **Inventor–attorney collaboration** — Participate in patent workflows directly from your AI client: review attorney comments, answer questions, and manage discussions while attorneys work in Lightbringer.
- **Portfolio context** — Access organizational innovation context to identify related inventions across teams, surface prior work, and spot strategic gaps in patent coverage.

## Supported clients

ChatGPT · Claude · Cursor · Claude Code · and other MCP-compatible IDEs and AI agents.
