Qiskit Code Assistant MCP Server

Overview

Qiskit Code Assistant MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol server that brings intelligent code completion for quantum computing directly into your AI assistant. It exposes Qiskit's code assistance capabilities as tools your AI can invoke, helping you write quantum code more effectively.

The server runs locally on your machine via the qiskit-code-assistant-mcp-server package, installed through uvx. It communicates with your MCP client over stdio and requires QISKIT_IBM_TOKEN for authentication. Version v0.4.0 is published under the Apache-2.0 license with source code available at Qiskit/mcp-servers on GitHub, where the project has 39 stars.

Qiskit Code Assistant MCP Server is listed in the Development category on mcp.site and works with MCP clients including Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, and Zed. If you maintain this server for Qiskit, claim this listing to verify ownership and keep information up to date.
