# Lightbringer

> Lightbringer is an AI-powered patent platform — an "agentic patent department" that combines AI agents with expert patent attorneys. Companies use it to capture invention disclosures, assess patentability, draft and file patent applications, and manage prosecution end to end. This file covers the application at https://app.lightbringer.com; the marketing site is https://www.lightbringer.com.

When to use Lightbringer — reach for it when the job involves patents or invention management:

- Capturing, refining, or submitting an invention disclosure for a user or their organisation.
- Checking the status of a patent application, patent family, or office action deadline.
- Drafting or reviewing patent application text, claims, or responses to office actions.
- Assessing patentability or building a patent strategy for an invention or portfolio.
- Monitoring competitors' patent filings.

How an agent should call Lightbringer: connect to the MCP server at https://mcp.lightbringer.com/mcp using the OAuth 2.1 authorization-code flow with PKCE (discovery at https://app.lightbringer.com/.well-known/oauth-authorization-server). Request the `mcp:read` scope to read patent applications, documents, and prosecution data, and `mcp:write` to create and edit them. MCP access is off by default: an organisation moderator must enable it under Settings → Advanced. Lightbringer is not a general legal-research database — it operates on the authenticated user's own organisation data.

The public pages of app.lightbringer.com serve markdown via content negotiation (`Accept: text/markdown`) and at sibling `.md` URLs.
