Qiskit MCP Servers
A collection of Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers that give AI assistants, LLMs, and agents seamless access to IBM Quantum services and Qiskit libraries. Generate quantum code, connect to real hardware, analyze backends, execute circuits, and search Qiskit documentation — all through a standardized protocol that works with any MCP-compatible client.
Quick Start
Prerequisites
- Python 3.10+ (3.11+ recommended)
- IBM Quantum account and API token (only required for IBM cloud servers: Runtime, Transpiler)
Install from PyPI
# Install all servers (core + community)
pip install "qiskit-mcp-servers[all]"
# Install core servers only (default, excludes community)
pip install qiskit-mcp-serversInstall individual servers
pip install "qiskit-mcp-servers[qiskit]" # Qiskit server only
pip install "qiskit-mcp-servers[runtime]" # IBM Runtime server only
