Quantum MCP servers and APIs for AI agents
12 quantum entries: 4 MCP servers and 7 APIs, 9 of them official. Run circuits on real quantum computers. The Qiskit servers are the only ones from a vendor. IonQ, Quantinuum, D-Wave, Rigetti, IQM and Azure Quantum are listed as APIs, because none of them has an MCP server.

Use cases
Real accounts of agents doing this kind of job, each linked to its source.
- Run quantum experiments on IBM and Quantum Inspire hardware with agents
A TU Delft research project uses autonomous agents, with MCP servers for Claude Code, to submit circuits to IBM Marrakesh, IBM Torino and the Quantum Inspire Tuna-9 chip, replicate published papers, and log 22 results.

Questions people ask
How many quantum MCP servers are there?
This directory lists 12 quantum entries: 4 MCP servers and 7 APIs, plus 1 with other access. We counted them on November 1 and 2, 2026.
What is the most popular quantum MCP server?
By GitHub stars, Qiskit (IBM) MCP servers leads with 46 stars as of November 1, 2026. Stars show interest, not quality, so check when it was last updated.
Which quantum servers are official?
9 come from the vendor or project they control: Qiskit (IBM) MCP servers, Amazon Braket, Azure Quantum, D-Wave Leap, IBM Quantum and IonQ Quantum Cloud.
Which ones work without an API key?
1 need no key, based on their docs: instrMCP.
Is it safe to let an agent control real devices?
Only give an agent the access you would give a person. Start with read-only tools, keep a person in the loop for anything that moves, prints, sends or spends, and read each project's README first.
