`eps_list_publications`

Pack: epo-publication-server · 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/eps_list_publications for the schema, then POST the same URL with its arguments for the data.

List every EP patent publication issued on one EPO publication date, with publication number, kind code, title and applicant(s). Returns the real total on that date before any filtering. “date” must be a real EPO publication date (get one from eps_publication_dates) — an arbitrary date fails loudly rather than silently returning nothing. “kind” filters to a kind code (“A1” newly-published application, “A2” application without search report, “A3” search report, “B1”/“B2”/“B3” granted-patent stages) or a bare letter (“A” or “B”) for either family.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`date`	string	yes	EPO publication date, YYYYMMDD or YYYY-MM-DD, e.g. “2026-10-14”. Must be a real EPO publication date.
`kind`	string	no	Kind-code filter: “A1”, “A2”, “A3”, “B1”, “B2”, “B3”, or bare “A” / “B”.
`limit`	number	no	Max publications to return with title/applicant detail (default 20, max 50). “total_on_date” and “total_matching_filter” always report the real counts regardless of this limit.
