Qiskit IBM Runtime MCP Server runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 339 installs a week from pypi. Last commit 13 Jul 2026.

A value the model can set ends up inside a file or shell call. That is not a flaw by itself — for a terminal server it is the job — but it is where things go wrong when it is not.
_tb_state.process = subprocess.Popen( # nosec B603 B607
What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.
That is not a flaw by itself — but it is where things go wrong when it is not the job. We re-read this code on every release. Watch it and you hear from us the day another one appears.
This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.
claude mcp add qiskit-ibm-runtime-mcp-server -- uvx qiskit-ibm-runtime-mcp-server

"mcpServers": {
"qiskit-ibm-runtime-mcp-server": {

This one needs environment variables set before it will start:
QISKIT_IBM_TOKEN (Your IBM Quantum API token for authentication), QISKIT_IBM_RUNTIME_MCP_INSTANCE (IBM Quantum instance CRN for faster startup (skips instance lookup)).
