Use MCP
Connect the evaluator to your AI assistant as a native tool. Add the URL once, no API key, no bootstrap fetch, no JSON-parsing boilerplate.
Connect your AI assistant
This site also runs a Model Context Protocol server. The compute tool, historic hardware data, and curated algorithm list become native tools your assistant can call directly.
Endpoint
https://www.quantum-expectations.com/api/mcpStreamable HTTP · Stateless sessions · CORS open · Rate-limited per IP
One-click install
Each opens the client's add-connector dialog pre-filled, you confirm before anything is added.
Claude Desktop / Cursor / Windsurf
Add to your MCP config file:
{
"mcpServers": {
"quantum-expectations": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://www.quantum-expectations.com/api/mcp"
}
}
}Claude Desktop: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json on macOS. Restart the client after saving.
Claude Code CLI
One command:
claude mcp add --transport http quantum-expectations https://www.quantum-expectations.com/api/mcpChatGPT
OpenAI offers no pre-filled link, so add it by hand:
- Turn on Settings → Security and login → Developer mode. Availability depends on your account and workspace policy.
- Open ChatGPT Plugins and press the + button.
- Enter a user-facing name and description, for example “Quantum Expectations”.
- Under Connection, choose Public endpoint and paste the full endpoint URL shown above, including its
/api/mcppath. The bare domain will not work.
OpenAI renamed “Connectors” to “Plugins”, so older guides use the earlier name.
Grok
Custom connectors are available on paid Grok tiers:
- Open grok.com/connectors and choose New Connector, then Custom.
- Paste the full endpoint URL shown above, including its
/api/mcppath.
Stdio-only clients
Bridge through mcp-remote:
{
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://www.quantum-expectations.com/api/mcp"]
}In-browser agents (no setup)
Browsing this site with an agent-capable browser (ChatGPT's browser, Gemini in Chrome)? The calculator pages register the core compute tools directly with the page via WebMCP, so the agent can calculate without any connector setup. Machine-readable manifest: /.well-known/webmcp.json
What you get
compute_expectation, effective error rate, success probability, and surface-code / qLDPC overhead for a given circuit (error rate, qubit count, depth).compute_required_error_rate, inverse: given a circuit and an acceptable error budget, what physical error rate does the hardware need to achieve?compute_fault_tolerant_resources, full fault-tolerant footprint for an algorithm (logical qubits + T count): distillation factory, code distance, physical qubits, and wall-clock time from the Litinski cost model, under two published logical-error fits.compare_hardware_scenarios, run the same circuit against all current hardware platforms in one call and rank them.fit_historic_series, fit a log-linear trend to the error-rate or qubit-count history and extrapolate when hardware might reach a target value.compute_quantum_volume_rate, first-order QV/second estimate for a hardware configuration.list_current_quantum_computers,list_hardware_timings,list_example_algorithms,list_qldpc_codes, reference tables (same data as on this site, plus gate-cycle timings not shown on the homepage).get_historic_series, full time series with source URLs for trend extrapolation. PassseriesTypeas"fidelity"or"qubit-count".get_agent_brief, scope, assumptions, and honesty clause.- Prompts (slash commands in supporting clients):
