Priorbit — IP database for agents
US patents, applications and trademarks with full claims, owners, drawings and live USPTO records.
Install
Add this to your client's MCP configuration (Claude Desktop: claude_desktop_config.json; Cursor: .cursor/mcp.json; VS Code and others use the same "mcpServers" shape).
claude mcp add --transport http priorbit-ip-database-for-agents 'https://patdb-mcp-production.up.railway.app/mcp'
{
"mcpServers": {
"priorbit-ip-database-for-agents": {

Priorbit — the IP database for your agent
Priorbit needs a free uselawless.com account. Your AI app asks you to sign in the first time it calls Priorbit; create the account at https://uselawless.com/login?returnTo=%2Faccount&mode=signup (Google works). Go is free: 200 credits a month.

An IP database built for agents: US granted patents (full claims), published applications (official status), US trademarks in every status, owners and inventors linked across both, live USPTO documents and drawing images, prosecution file wrappers (office actions and responses as page images), PTAB trials, and e-commerce product pages. One plugin gives your agent the MCP tools and a skill that tells it to use them for patent and trademark work. Sign in once with a free account.

Install
Codex
codex plugin marketplace add Lawless-Inc/priorbit
codex plugin add priorbit@lawless
Both lines can be pasted straight into the Codex chat box; Codex runs them. During the install Codex opens its own sign-in window: sign in to uselawless.com (Google or email) and click Allow. Once per computer.
Only if no sign-in window appeared, run codex mcp login priorbit — it opens one browser tab. Do not run it while
a Codex sign-in window is already open; that is how you end up with two login windows at once.
Claude Code
claude plugin marketplace add Lawless-Inc/priorbit
claude plugin install priorbit@lawless
Then, in a new session, type /mcp, pick priorbit and choose Authenticate: a browser tab opens, sign in to
uselawless.com and click Allow.
Restart the client (Codex desktop: quit with ⌘Q and reopen), then start a new conversation.
Claude desktop (Cowork)
Two steps, about two minutes. Cowork loads a plugin's skill but does not open the plugin's own remote connection, so the database is added once as a connector:
- Plugin (the skill). Settings → Plugins → Add → Add from a repository →
Lawless-Inc/priorbit, turn on Sync automatically, Sync, then make sure priorbit is enabled. - Connector (the database). Settings → Connectors → Add → Add custom connector:
- Name:
Priorbit - MCP server URL:
https://patdb-mcp-production.up.railway.app/mcp(exactly this — Cowork pairs the connector with the plugin by URL) - Authentication: Sign in now → sign in with your uselawless.com account and click Allow, then Add.
- Name:
- Start a new Cowork task and ask, e.g. "Who owns the patents behind the SECURADOOR brand?" If the agent says it cannot find the tools, check that Priorbit is switched on in the task's connector menu.
Other clients (Cursor, Claude.ai, Windsurf, …)
Add a remote MCP server with this URL; the client will ask you to sign in with your uselawless.com account:
https://patdb-mcp-production.up.railway.app/mcp
Then copy SKILL.md into your client's rules or skills so the agent knows when to use it.

Every call needs a signed-in uselawless.com account. Go is free: 200 credits a month (a status check is 1 credit, a search 2, a product page 5,
playbooks free; enough for status checks and a dozen knockout searches, while a full FTO screening needs Plus). Plus is $19.90 a month or $199 a year
for 1,500 credits a month; Professional is $59 a month or $590 a year for 6,000. Details and billing terms:
https://uselawless.com/pricing . Personal API keys issued by Lawless keep working (…/mcp?key=YOUR_KEY).

Who owns the patents behind the SECURADOOR brand?
Is US 10,435,928 still in force, when does it expire, and who owns it now?
Knockout search for the mark VOLTREK in classes 9 and 12 — include marks that sound the same but are spelled differently.
Turn Chinese application CN 2025XXXXXXXXX.X into a US filing: deadline and route, translated specification, claims reworked for US practice.
Draft a US application for this invention disclosure, with claims drawn around the closest prior art.
Results are research leads for an attorney, not legal opinions.
CLI and Python SDK
For scripts and pipelines (Codex, shell, notebooks): a thin package generated from the server's own tool list — NDJSON out, one line per result.
pip install "git+https://github.com/Lawless-Inc/priorbit#subdirectory=sdk/python"
priorbit login # free account, once
priorbit search_patents --queries "door security bar" --patent_type design --k 10 | jq .pn
priorbit get_patents --patent_numbers 7532200,D949612 --raw
from priorbit import Priorbit
p = Priorbit()
p.search_trademarks(text="WOBBLY LIFE", k=5)
