`get_biblio`

Pack: epo-ops · Connect: https://pipeworx.io/mcp (see Connect below for a single-pack URL)

No MCP client? Call it directly: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/get_biblio for the schema, then POST the same URL with its arguments for the data.

Bibliographic data for one published patent — title, inventors, applicants, publication date, IPC classifications. Drawn from EPO DOCDB, which covers 100+ patent offices, so Chinese, Japanese, Korean and US publications resolve as well as European ones. Give the publication number as printed on the document; a trailing kind code such as the “A” in “CN117928705A” is handled for you.
