Qiskit IBM Runtime MCP Server — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Qiskit IBM Runtime MCP Server?

How do I connect Qiskit IBM Runtime MCP Server?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls qiskit-ibm-runtime-mcp-server straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
