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.
Hey all — most "has this been patented?" tools assume you already know what to search for. But builders don't think that way — you just build the feature, you don't stop to think "let me search for my dose-response fallback algorithm."
That's why I'm most excited about patent-scan: point a coding AI agent (I've been testing with Claude Code) at your repo, and it reads your actual source, flags mechanisms worth a second look, and runs real patent searches on them automatically — your code never leaves your machine or hits Patlas's servers.
Results are grounded in real retrieved patent text, no made-up IDs or quotes. Free to try, $0.40/call after that. Would love feedback, especially on patent-scan.
