Patent PDF Download AI Prompts & Use Cases

After connecting this MCP tool to your AI assistant, you can ask the questions below. Replace bracketed placeholders with your own inputs and use the supported values in Arguments.

New to Nexscope MCP? Follow the connection guide, then use the prompts below. The Integration and Parameters & Response tabs contain the connection steps, call example, and technical reference.

1. Find A Publication PDF

Prompt: For patent publication [PUBLICATION_NUMBER], return the available source PDF link and the publication number actually used. Keep a missing PDF explicit.

2. Find A Known Patent ID

Prompt: Find the source PDF for patent ID [PATENT_ID]. Do not substitute a family member unless I explicitly allow a related patent.

What You Need to Provide

Provide patentId or patentNumber, with up to 100 comma-separated values. patentId takes precedence when both are supplied.

Use a related family patent only when the user explicitly requests replaceByRelated=1; report the returned pn and pnRelated without silently substituting.

PDF availability, signed-link lifetime, upstream cost and Nexscope credits depend on the actual response. A missing PDF must not be described as a successful download.
