## Trust breakdown

How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically against the live server, and we only credit what we can confirm. Scores are 0–100 per category. Scoring method: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring (what has changed: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring/changelog)

Scored 2026-08-03.

- **Endpoint Security**: 57/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - Authorisation not yet verified: we couldn't confirm whether this endpoint requires it.
  - HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path.
  - HSTS not yet verified: we couldn't read the response headers to check for it.
  - DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC.
- **Transport & Reachability**: 0/100
  - Transport check failed: declared streamable-http, but we couldn't connect to verify it.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 0/100
  - Schema not yet verified: we couldn't read the endpoint's schema.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 0/100
  - Stability not yet verified: not enough scan history yet (needs a 30-day window).
- **Tool Coverage**: 0/100
  - Tool coverage not yet verified: we couldn't read the endpoint's tools.
- **Capabilities**: 0/100
  - Capabilities not yet verified: we couldn't read the endpoint's capabilities.

**Unverified: 4 categories.** Categories scored 0 because we could not verify them: authentication we do not have, an unreachable endpoint, or not enough scan history. We only credit what we can confirm.

## MCP tools (9)

### `search_patents` (~284 tokens)

Search U.S. patents (USPTO PatentsView) by keyword, assignee, CPC class,
date range, or type. Patent search for IP and technology-landscape research,
sorted newest-first, with title, abstract, assignee, and CPC codes.

PAID: $0.01 per query after a daily free allowance (25/day). On a 402,
settle the returned payment challenge and re-call with the SAME args plus
payment_tx=<reference>. Pass agent_id to scope your allowance; an
Authorization: Bearer fnet_ key bypasses the paywall.

Input parameters:

- `agent_id`: stable id for your agent (scopes the free-tier counter).
- `assignee`: assignee/company name, partial match.
- `cpc_code`: CPC class/subclass prefix, e.g. "H04L" or "G06N".
- `date_from`: ISO date "YYYY-MM-DD"; grant_date on/after.
- `date_to`: ISO date "YYYY-MM-DD"; grant_date on/before.
- `keyword`: free-text matched against title + abstract.
- `limit` (integer): max rows (1-100, default 25).
- `patent_type`: "utility", "design", or "plant".
- `payment_tx`: payment transaction reference, when re-calling after a 402.

### `patent_detail` (~59 tokens)

CPC codes, claims count, citation count, filing/grant dates. FREE.

Input parameters:

- `patent_number` (string, required): the USPTO patent number from a search result.

### `company_patents` (~176 tokens)

Patent portfolio for a company/assignee — total count, 90-day filing
velocity, primary technology areas (CPC), and recent filings. Patent
landscape + competitive IP intelligence.

PAID: $0.01 per query after the daily free allowance (25/day). On a
402, settle the returned payment challenge and re-call with the SAME args
plus payment_tx=<reference>. An Authorization: Bearer fnet_ key bypasses it.

Input parameters:

- `agent_id`: stable id for your agent (scopes the free-tier counter).
- `company_name` (string, required): assignee/company name, partial match (e.g. "Qualcomm").
- `days_back`: optionally restrict recent filings to the last N days.
- `payment_tx`: payment transaction reference, when re-calling after a 402.

### `trending_technology` (~178 tokens)

Which technology areas are heating up — CPC classes ranked by recent
patent filing volume, each with a section description and its top assignees.
Technology-trend and patent-landscape signal.

PAID: $0.01 per query after the daily free allowance (25/day). On a
402, settle the returned payment challenge and re-call with the SAME args
plus payment_tx=<reference>. An Authorization: Bearer fnet_ key bypasses it.

Input parameters:

- `agent_id`: stable id for your agent (scopes the free-tier counter).
- `days` (integer): look-back window in days (1-365, default 30).
- `min_filings` (integer): only include CPC classes with at least this many filings.
- `payment_tx`: payment transaction reference, when re-calling after a 402.

### `prior_art_search` (~174 tokens)

Prior-art search: find patents semantically similar to a free-text
invention description, using pgvector cosine similarity over patent abstract
embeddings. The premium IP-research tool.

PAID: $0.02 per query after the daily free allowance (25/day). On a
402, settle the returned payment challenge and re-call with the SAME args
plus payment_tx=<reference>. An Authorization: Bearer fnet_ key bypasses it.

Input parameters:

- `agent_id`: stable id for your agent (scopes the free-tier counter).
- `description` (string, required): free-text description of the invention / claim to match.
- `max_results`: number of similar patents to return (1-50, default 10).
- `payment_tx`: payment transaction reference, when re-calling after a 402.

### `daily_digest` (~175 tokens)

Structured daily patent-filing digest — what published/granted in the
last day, with top CPC classes, top assignees, and the patent list.
Optionally scoped to a CPC class or an assignee.

PAID: $0.02 per query after the daily free allowance (25/day). On a
402, settle the returned payment challenge and re-call with the SAME args
plus payment_tx=<reference>. An Authorization: Bearer fnet_ key bypasses it.

Input parameters:

- `agent_id`: stable id for your agent (scopes the free-tier counter).
- `assignee`: optional assignee/company name to scope the digest.

- `payment_tx`: payment transaction reference, when re-calling after a 402.

### `daily_brief` (~245 tokens)

The curated daily patent-intel brief — the day's most significant patent
activity in one package: the most significant recent filings, filing-velocity
anomalies (assignees with unusual recent filing spikes), trending CPC
classification codes, and major assignee activity. Each brief carries a
provenance attestation so a buyer can verify it was produced by this server,
unaltered.

PAID: $10 per brief. Defaults to today (UTC); a brief expires at the
next midnight UTC. On a 402, settle the returned payment challenge and
re-call with the SAME args plus payment_tx=<reference>. An Authorization:
Bearer fnet_ key bypasses payment.

Input parameters:

- `agent_id`: stable id for your agent (scopes the free-tier counter).
- `date`: brief date YYYY-MM-DD (default today, UTC).
- `payment_tx`: payment transaction reference, when re-calling after a 402.
- `stripe_token`: Stripe Checkout Session id (cs_…), when re-calling after paying the Stripe payment link (alternative to x402). Can also be supplied via the X-Stripe-Token header.

### `brief_summary` (~167 tokens)

Get the top 5 signals from today's brief as structured JSON — a cheap
sample of the full daily_brief. Returns the day's highest-priority items
(no prose) so an agent can decide whether to buy the full brief.

PAID: $0.50 (vs the full daily_brief price). Defaults to today (UTC).
On a 402, settle the returned payment challenge and re-call with the SAME
args plus payment_tx=<reference>. An Authorization: Bearer fnet_ key
bypasses payment.

Input parameters:

- `agent_id`: stable id for your agent (scopes the free-tier counter).

- `payment_tx`: payment transaction reference, when re-calling after a 402.

### `mint_info` (~48 tokens)

FoundryNet Data Network info. FREE.
