Patent

The record of who thought of what, and when the machine was asked to write it.

The record of who thought of what, and when the machine was asked to write it.

Base URL	`https://api.hanzo.ai`
Operations	12
Auth	`Authorization: Bearer $HANZO_API_KEY`

Specification

Specification pending — no HIP in hanzoai/hips declares capability: patent yet. What this capability serves is below, from the API document; what it is — the store it owns, how it meters, what it publishes — is written as a HIP under HIP-0139.

Four surfaces

Surface	Reaches this capability as	Coverage
REST	`patent` at its own prefix	12 operations
CLI	`hanzo patent …`	12 of 12
SDK	—	no published client declares one yet — regenerating the clients is what adds them
MCP	tool `patent` on `https://api.hanzo.ai/v1/mcp`	12 operations, 3 under the document's own id — ask `describe` for the rest

Quickstart

export HANZO_API_KEY=sk-...   # console.hanzo.ai → API keys

Then the first call — a read that needs nothing but the key. GET /v1/patent/ideas, operation get_patent_ideas:

CLI

SDK

HTTP

MCP

hanzo patent ideas get

.ts

.py

.go

.rs

.java

import { Configuration, PatentApi } from 'hanzoai';

const api = new PatentApi(new Configuration({ accessToken: process.env.HANZO_API_KEY }));
const { data } = await api.getPatentIdeas();

from hanzoai.cloud import ApiClient, Configuration
from hanzoai.cloud.api import PatentApi

client = ApiClient(Configuration(access_token=os.environ["HANZO_API_KEY"]))
result = PatentApi(client).get_patent_ideas()

cfg := hanzoai.NewConfiguration()
cfg.AddDefaultHeader("Authorization", "Bearer "+os.Getenv("HANZO_API_KEY"))
client := hanzoai.NewAPIClient(cfg)

resp, _, err := client.PatentAPI.GetPatentIdeas(context.Background()).Execute()
if err != nil {
	return err
}

use hanzo_client::apis::{configuration::Configuration, patent_api};

let mut cfg = Configuration::new();
cfg.bearer_access_token = std::env::var("HANZO_API_KEY").ok();

let result = patent_api::get_patent_ideas(&cfg, Default::default()).await?;

import ai.hanzo.cloud.ApiClient;
import ai.hanzo.cloud.api.PatentApi;

ApiClient client = new ApiClient();
client.setBearerToken(System.getenv("HANZO_API_KEY"));

var result = new PatentApi(client).getPatentIdeas();

The method above is the one at the current release of the document. [email protected] (npm) and [email protected] (PyPI) were generated from an earlier release, where this operation carried a different id, so it spells the method differently — regenerating the clients is what makes the two agree.

curl https://api.hanzo.ai/v1/patent/ideas \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $HANZO_API_KEY"

MCP reaches patent through the patent tool, which names its 12 operations with its own verbs — this one among them, under a name only MCP declares. describe explains any of them:

curl -X POST https://api.hanzo.ai/v1/mcp \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
       "jsonrpc": "2.0",
       "id": 1,
       "method": "tools/call",
       "params": {
         "name": "describe",
         "arguments": {
           "op": "list_patent_approvals"
         }
       }
     }'

Endpoints

Endpoint	What it does
`GET /v1/patent/approvals`	Returns the decision trail — each person's current word on each disclosure.
`POST /v1/patent/approvals`	Appends one person's decision about one disclosure.
`GET /v1/patent/disclosures`	Returns the canonical disclosures, each carrying its current approvals.
`POST /v1/patent/disclosures`	Appends the assembled document and the record ids it rests on.
`POST /v1/patent/grants`	Makes the decision a recording never implied: whether an idea, implementation or disclosure stays private to its author's project, opens to the org, or goes public.
`GET /v1/patent/health`	Reports what this deployment actually guarantees about the records it keeps, in honest states.
`GET /v1/patent/ideas`	Returns the caller org's canonical conception entries, oldest appended first, which is the order the log says they were thought.
`POST /v1/patent/ideas`	Appends conception entries.
`GET /v1/patent/implementations`	Returns the canonical implementation records with their citations.
`POST /v1/patent/implementations`	Appends the machine's half of the record, and the idea citation is the load-bearing field: it is what lets a reader see that the conception came first.
`GET /v1/patent/proof`	Folds the caller's record set and answers the ordering question over it.
`GET /v1/patent/timeline`	Returns every retained version of one entry, in append order.
