MCP KIPRIS
English | 한국어 →
An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that gives AI assistants like Claude direct access to KIPRIS — South Korea’s official patent and trademark database operated by the Korean Intellectual Property Office (KIPO).
Why KIPRIS?
South Korea is one of the top 5 patent-filing countries in the world. Companies like Samsung, LG, SK Hynix, Hyundai, and POSCO file tens of thousands of patents every year — all searchable through KIPRIS.
This MCP server lets Claude (or any MCP-compatible AI client) search those patents in natural language, without the user needing to navigate the Korean-language KIPRIS web portal.
Typical use cases:
- Prior art search before filing a patent
- Competitive intelligence on Korean technology companies
- Monitoring IPC classifications in a specific technical domain
- Trademark clearance for the Korean market
Quick Start
Prerequisites: Python 3.11+, a free KIPRIS API key
# 1. Clone and install
git clone https://github.com/nuri428/mcp_kipris.git
cd mcp_kipris
pip install -e .
# 2. Set your API key
export KIPRIS_API_KEY="your_api_key_here"
# 3. Run the server (stdio mode for Claude Desktop)
python -m mcp_kipris.server
Then add the server to Claude Desktop — see Claude Desktop Configuration.
Getting a KIPRIS API Key
- Go to https://plus.kipris.or.kr (site is in Korean — use a browser translator)
- Register for a free account
- Apply for an Open API key from the developer portal
- Your key is free for non-commercial use with a daily request quota
Rate Limiting
Outgoing requests to KIPRIS are throttled by an in-process rate limiter capped at 60 requests per minute (the default in RateLimiter, src/mcp_kipris/kipris/rate_limiter.py). When the cap is hit, a request waits and retries automatically instead of failing — no action needed on your end. This limit is not currently configurable via an environment variable.
This only governs how fast this server calls KIPRIS; it’s separate from your API key’s own daily request quota on the KIPRIS developer portal.
