`eps_publication_dates`

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_publication_dates for the schema, then POST the same URL with its arguments for the data.

List EPO European Publication Server publication dates (almost always Thursdays, weekly since 1978) with a real document count per date. Filter by “year” (e.g. “2026”) or a “from”/“to” range (YYYYMMDD or YYYY-MM-DD); omit both to get the most recent dates. Use a returned date with eps_list_publications to see what was published that day.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`year`	string	no	Four-digit year, e.g. “2026”. Filters to publication dates in that year.
`from`	string	no	Start of a date range, inclusive, YYYYMMDD or YYYY-MM-DD.
`to`	string	no	End of a date range, inclusive, YYYYMMDD or YYYY-MM-DD.
`limit`	number	no	Max dates to return, newest first (default 20, max 100).
