What it does

Patlas is an MCP server giving your AI agent real prior-art patent search. Ask an idea in plain English, or point the free patent-scan skill at your own codebase to surface mechanisms worth checking — even ones you never thought to search for. Every result is validated against the real retrieved patent text before it's shown: no invented patent IDs, no fabricated quotes. Not legal advice — a fast, honest first signal before you talk to an attorney.

Patlas is an MCP server that gives your AI agent real prior-art patent search — ask in plain English, or point it at your own codebase to find patent-worthy mechanisms automatically.

An MCP server for AI-assisted prior-art patent search. Ask about an idea in plain English, or point it at your own codebase to find patent-worthy mechanisms you didn't even think to search for. Describe an idea in plain English to Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible AI client. Patlas searches real USPTO/EPO patent data and has your AI reason over the actual claims text — ranked matches, not a guess. Connect Patlas to a codebase-aware AI agent (Claude Code, via the free patent-scan Skill) and it reads through your product's own source code to surface specific mechanisms and features worth checking — things you built but never thought to search for — then runs each one through real patent…from patlas.dev

  • Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

  • Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
