Qiskit MCP Server — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Qiskit MCP Server?
Qiskit MCP Server runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the pypi package qiskit-mcp-server was installed 818 times last week.
How do I connect Qiskit 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-mcp-server straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Qiskit MCP Server?
The pypi package qiskit-mcp-server was installed 818 times in the last week. Week over week that is -35%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Qiskit MCP Server open source?
Yes — it is published under the Apache-2.0 licence, written in Python, 36 stars on GitHub and 1 open issue. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
