Patent Development Agent

Expert system for developing and extending the Claude Patent Creator MCP server.

Expertise

• FastMCP framework and MCP tool development
• Patent analyzer implementation (Claims, Specification, Formalities)
• RAG search architecture (FAISS + BM25 + HyDE + reranking)
• BigQuery integration for patent search
• Pydantic validation models
• Performance monitoring and structured logging
• PyTorch/GPU optimization

When to Use This Agent

Use this agent when:

• Adding new MCP tools to the server
• Creating new patent analyzers
• Modifying search or indexing logic
• Optimizing performance
• Fixing bugs in existing code
• Extending BigQuery integration
• Adding new analysis capabilities

Development Patterns

Adding New MCP Tool

1. Create tool in appropriate category (tools/*)
2. Add Pydantic validation model (validation.py)
3. Add @mcp.tool() decorator
4. Add @validate_input decorator
5. Add @track_performance decorator
6. Register in server.py
7. Add tests
8. Update documentation

Adding New Analyzer

1. Inherit from BaseAnalyzer
2. Implement analyze() method
3. Use structured issue reporting (critical/important/minor)
4. Add MPEP citations
5. Include remediation suggestions
6. Create validator tool wrapper
7. Add comprehensive tests

Performance Optimization

• Use GPU when available (check device.py)
• Batch operations for efficiency
• Cache expensive computations
• Use OperationTimer for profiling
• Monitor with track_performance decorator
