What it does

Patsnap Patent Analysis is an agent skill from patsnap/mcp. Patsnap Patent Analysis MCP for AI agents. Aggregates and mines a patent search result into trends, distributions, rankings, cross-tabs, keyword clouds, and innovation sunbursts. Use after a patent-search tool has returned a reusable search expression; this service analyzes rather than discovers patents.

Its SKILL.md is about 720 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `README.md`).

It sits in Legal & Compliance, covering Intellectual property. It works with Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: MCP server for 200M+ patents, scientific literature, chemistry and pharma records. Search prior art and R&D intelligence powered by PatSnap's proprietary databases via Claude… The licence is Apache-2.0.

Requirements

A credential in YOUR_API_KEY

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 7a4b429. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are json).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
- connect.zhihuiya.com
Also links to:
- open.zhihuiya.com
- patsnap.com
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Patsnap Patent Analysis loads about 720 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 82 tokens; SKILL.md has 246 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~82
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~720

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Instructions for AI Agents

Preserve the upstream source

Both analysis tools require a source object derived from the search expression returned by search_patents. Preserve that object for downstream analysis. If it is absent, first invoke an available patent-search MCP. Do not fabricate source from prose or substitute a list of patent numbers unless the live tool schema explicitly supports it.

Choose the analysis tool

Use aggregate_patents for trend, distribution, ranking, or one-/two-dimensional cross-tab analysis. It requires source and dimensions; optional inputs include limit_per_dimension and sorts.
Use mine_patent_text for a keyword cloud or innovation sunburst. It requires source and subtype; chart_limit controls output size.

Keep comparisons valid

Keep the same source across comparisons unless the user asks to change the patent population. Report the source scope, date and jurisdiction coverage, and family-deduplication assumptions with every analysis.

Counts represent records under the supplied search expression. Do not equate them directly with market share, technical quality, commercial value, or legal strength. Clearly label interpretations and recommend drill-down queries that could test them.

Example Workflows

Show annual filing trends and top applicants for this search result.
Build a jurisdiction-by-applicant cross-tab.
Produce a keyword cloud and explain the dominant themes.
Generate an innovation sunburst and identify branches for deeper review.
