A Standard That Lets AI Tools Talk Directly to ArcPrime
Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that allows AI assistants and agents to connect securely to external tools and data sources. Think of it as a direct line between the AI tools your team already uses and the patent data that lives inside ArcPrime.
Without MCP, your workflow looks like this: export data from ArcPrime, paste it into an AI tool, wait for a response, manually act on it. With MCP, your AI agent connects to ArcPrime directly, queries your live portfolio, and takes action. All in one step.
But the bigger idea is this. Your IP data belongs to you. ArcPrime was designed from the ground up to make that data accessible and usable, not just stored. The MCP server is how that philosophy becomes real. Ask natural-language questions across your portfolio and connected systems. Get answers without wrangling spreadsheets or waiting on reports. Spend less time managing data and more time making decisions with it.
ArcPrime's MCP server launched in March 2026 and is live and available to all customers.
Your IP data belongs to you. ArcPrime was built to make it accessible, queryable, and usable. Your team spends less time wrangling information and more time making decisions.
What Your Agents Can Do Inside ArcPrime
Core capabilities designed to solve your most critical IP challenges.
Portfolio Queries
Query your patent portfolio directly from your agent workflow. Surface renewal candidates, identify coverage gaps, and pull portfolio data without opening a dashboard.
Pruning and Renewal Analysis
Run AI-guided pruning sessions from your agent workflow. Surface renewal candidates, analyze cost versus strategic value, and generate pruning recommendations.
Claim Charting
Generate claim charts from your agent stack. Map claims against competitor patents, standards documents, or products and get structured output your team can act on immediately.
Spend Analysis
Pull outside counsel spend data, compare costs across firms and technology areas, and identify where budget is being allocated relative to portfolio value.
Disclosure and Filing Workflows
Agents can interact with invention disclosures and project pipelines. Surface incomplete submissions, flag missing fields, and keep intake moving without manual chasing.
Deep Research and Document Library
Run claim matching against your uploaded document library. Map claims directly to specific source texts. Especially useful for SEP workflows where source documents are fixed and authoritative.
How the Connection Works
ArcPrime integrates every stage of the IP lifecycle into a powerful, easy-to-use platform for in-house patent teams.
Connect via OAuth
ArcPrime's MCP server uses OAuth-based authentication. Your agent connects securely using your existing ArcPrime credentials.
Your Agent Discovers Available Tools
Once connected, your agent can see the tools ArcPrime exposes across portfolios, disclosures, projects, dashboards, and analytics.
Query, Reason, and Act
Your agent queries live ArcPrime data, reasons over it, and executes workflows: pruning sessions, claim charts, spend analysis, disclosure review. Directly from your AI stack.
Results Flow Back Into Your Workflow
Outputs come back structured and ready to use. No copy-paste. No reformatting. No context switching between tools.
Built for Teams Already Working With AI
For technical teams and AI leads
If your organization is already building or deploying AI agents, ArcPrime's MCP server works with any agent framework or AI tool that supports the MCP standard. Connect your agent framework of choice and start building workflows against your live patent data.
For IP teams exploring agentic AI
If you are evaluating how AI can reduce manual work in your patent function, the MCP server is the clearest answer to the question: what can AI actually do with my portfolio? The answer is: query it, analyze it, and act on it. Without your team needing to export, format, or manually hand off data.
Your Data Stays Protected
The ArcPrime MCP server is OAuth-secured. Authentication is handled through your existing ArcPrime credentials, and all connections are governed by the same enterprise security controls that protect the rest of your ArcPrime environment. ArcPrime is SOC 2 Type 2 and ISO 27001 certified.
Your agents can only access data your ArcPrime account is authorized to see. Nothing is exposed beyond your existing permissions model.
