Ipnex
IPNex is an MCP server that provides cited, confidence-stamped patent intelligence on US university tech-transfer out-licensing.
About
IPNex MCP delivers cited, confidence-stamped patent intelligence focused on US university technology transfer and out-licensing paths. developers exploring deeptech, biotech, or hardware spun out of academia can ask licensing and landscape questions through a remote streamable-http endpoint instead of manually searching TTO sites and fragmented databases. It belongs in the Idea research phase when you are still choosing whether a technology is available to license and how crowded the IP space is. Answers are designed to be quotable with citations and confidence metadata so you can sanity-check agent output before investor or legal conversations. It does not file patents or negotiate licenses; it informs whether to pursue validate-stage prototypes. Connect your MCP client to the hosted URL and treat outputs as research leads requiring professional IP counsel.

What it does
Research US university tech-transfer and out-licensing patents with cited, confidence-stamped answers before committing to a deep-tech product direction.
Who is it for?
Best when you're scouting university spinouts, licensing deals, or competitive patent landscapes in the US before build commitments.
Skip if: Skip if you need filing, prosecution, or contract negotiation tools rather than research summaries.
What you get
You get sourced, confidence-labeled patent intelligence through MCP so you can shortlist licensing targets before prototyping or fundraising.

Public tool metadata - what this server can do for an agent.
search_licensable_ip6 paramsSearch published, licensable US university patent technologies. Answers 'what currently-Active US university IP is licensable from X?'. Every result is cited (Google Patents / USPTO), confidence-stamped, and carries an 'ownership' signal flagging whether the patent's current assignee of record is the marketing institution or a third party, a 'status' interpretation flagging public-domain (term-expired) vs revivable fee-lapsed vs in-force patents, and an 'expiry' reading of how many years of exclusive term remain (expired / expiring_soon / active_term). The response also carries 'facets' -- corpus-level breakdowns over all matches by ownership, institution, status, status_detail, and expiry (the whole-query split, without paging). Patent data: Google Patents (CC BY 4.0) + USPTO (public domain). Summaries are IPNEX-authored. TTO listing content is linked, not reproduced.

FAQ
Who is IPNex for?
Developers researching US university out-licensing and patent landscapes who want cited answers inside Claude Code, Cursor, or other MCP clients.
When should I use IPNex?
Use it in Idea research when evaluating whether to license academic IP, compare transfer options, or stress-test a deeptech concept against known patents.
How do I add IPNex to my agent?
Register the remote MCP server URL https://api.ipnex.ai/mcp with streamable-http transport in your agent’s MCP settings; follow IPNex docs for any API keys if required.
