Qiskit MCP Server
Gives Claude direct access to Qiskit's quantum computing stack through MCP. You get tools for building and serializing quantum circuits, plus this is actually part of a larger suite that includes connections to IBM Quantum hardware, the transpiler service, and documentation search. The core server here focuses on circuit construction and manipulation without requiring cloud credentials, making it the starting point for local quantum development. If you're prototyping quantum algorithms or need an LLM to generate and work with QuantumCircuit objects, this handles the Qiskit primitives. The repo includes five other servers for runtime execution, cloud transpilation, and code generation, but this one is the foundation for circuit-level operations.
