What is the Quantum Simulator MCP Server?

Quantum Simulator MCP becomes available to MCP clients through the Quantum Simulator MCP. A Docker image providing a quantum circuit simulator that implements the Model Context Protocol (MCP), allowing integration with MCP clients such as Claude for Desktop.

What Quantum Simulator MCP does

A Docker image providing a quantum circuit simulator that implements the Model Context Protocol (MCP), allowing integration with MCP clients such as Claude for Desktop.

Key capabilities

  • Quantum computing simulator with noise models
  • Support for OpenQASM 2.0 quantum circuits
  • Quantum circuit simulation using Qiskit
  • Support for various noise models (depolarizing, thermal relaxation, readout error)
  • Multiple result types including counts, statevector, and visualized histograms
  • Pre-configured example circuits
  • Seamless integration with MCP clients

Practical notes

  • Maintained by YuChenSSR.
