Install Qiskit in Cline
What you need first
- Cline, installed.
- uv, which
gives the
uvxcommand the server starts with.
Steps
- In Cline, open the MCP Servers icon, then the Configure tab, and choose Configure MCP Servers.
It opens
cline_mcp_settings.json. - Add this block. If the file already has
mcpServers, add only the entry inside it.
{
"mcpServers": {
"mcp-qiskit": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["mcp-qiskit==0.1.1"]
}
}
} - Save the file. Cline reloads it and lists the server under MCP Servers.
Check it worked
Ask Cline: List the tools of mcp-qiskit.
If it does not start
- spawn uvx ENOENT
- uv is not on the PATH that Cline sees. Install it, or write the
full path of
uvxin the config. - Nothing changes after a restart
- The file is not valid JSON any more. Look for a missing comma where the block was added.
