Qikly MCP Server

points at, by looking for this line in the README that PyPI serves. It is a comment so it does not render, and it must match the name in. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

People who work with acceptance criteria, pytest and test generation and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Python.

01 · Install Qikly

before you install - you'll need

GEMINI_API_KEY

Environment variables documented in the project's README - it lists which are required and which have defaults.

Claude Code

claude mcp add gal-a-qikly -- uvx qikly

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gal-a-qikly": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "qikly"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

Using another client? Same JSON, different key

02 · Evidence

Security posture

What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.

runs as local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions

repo age created 2026-09-06 - young repo, little track record yet

license Apache-2.0 - declared in the repository

pypi package qikly - check the name against the project README before installing (PyPI has no namespace ownership)

registry namespace io.github.gal-a is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner
