## Installation
### One-Click Setup (Recommended)
The project provides setup scripts that automate the entire process:
**Linux / macOS:**
```bash
git clone https://github.com/OriginQ/qpanda3-runtime-mcp-server.git
cd qpanda3-runtime-mcp-server
chmod +x scripts/setup_configure.sh
./scripts/setup_configure.sh
```
**Windows (PowerShell):**
```powershell
git clone https://github.com/OriginQ/qpanda3-runtime-mcp-server.git
cd qpanda3-runtime-mcp-server
.\scripts\setup_configure.ps1
```
The script handles everything: dependency setup, API key configuration, and MCP client setup.
> See [Installation Guide](docs/installation.md) for manual install options.
## Quick Start
```bash
# 1. Configure your API key
cp .env.example .env

"args": ["-m", "qpanda3_runtime_mcp_server"],
"cwd": "/path/to/qpanda3-runtime-mcp-server",
"env": { "QPANDA3_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here" }
}
}
}
```

## Notes
1. **Default Server**: The server connects to `https://qpanda3-runtime.qpanda.cn` by default. Set `QPANDA3_SERVER_URL` to override.
2. **Channel**: The server uses the qcloud channel by default
3. **Async Support**: All tool functions are `async` functions
4. **Error Handling**: All functions return dictionaries containing a `status` field
5. **Type Hints**: Python type hints are used for better code readability

Scored across 19 tools
Most tools have distinct purposes, such as sample_tool for sampling and estimate_tool for expectation estimation, with clear separation between task execution and management tools. However, there is some overlap between batch_sample_tool and sample_tool, as both handle sampling but with different batch capabilities, which could cause minor confusion. The binding-related tools (create_circuit_observable_binding_tool, add_product_rule_tool, add_zip_rule_tool) are well-differentiated within their domain.
The naming follows a mostly consistent snake_case pattern, but there are inconsistencies in verb usage and structure. For example, tools like active_account_info_tool use 'info' as a noun, while others like list_qpu_devices_tool use 'list' as a verb, and some like setup_origin_quantum_account_tool are overly verbose. This mixed convention reduces predictability, though the snake_case format is maintained throughout.
With 19 tools, the count is on the higher side for a quantum computing server, which may feel heavy but is somewhat justified by the domain's complexity covering execution, binding, and account management. However, it borders on being excessive, as some tools could potentially be consolidated (e.g., batch_sample_tool and sample_tool), making the set less streamlined than ideal for an agent.
The tool set provides comprehensive coverage for quantum circuit execution and management, including CRUD-like operations for tasks (create, cancel, list, get status/results), bindings (create, delete, list, add rules), and devices (list, get properties). It supports both sampling and estimation workflows, with batch and multi-objective capabilities, leaving no obvious gaps for the server's purpose in quantum computing runtime operations.
