"Six months ago, everyone was talking about MCPs. And I was like, screw MCPs. Every MCP would be better as a CLI."

Amazon Braket CLI

Production-ready CLI for the Amazon Braket Quantum Computing API. Run quantum circuits, manage tasks, and browse QPU devices directly from your terminal.

Installation

npm install -g @ktmcp-cli/awsbraket

Configuration

awsbraket config set --access-key-id YOUR_ACCESS_KEY_ID \
  --secret-access-key YOUR_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY \
  --region us-east-1

Usage

Config

# Set AWS credentials
awsbraket config set --access-key-id <id> --secret-access-key <secret> --region us-east-1

# Get a config value
awsbraket config get region

# List all config
awsbraket config list

Quantum Tasks

# List quantum tasks
awsbraket tasks list
awsbraket tasks list --status COMPLETED
awsbraket tasks list --device-arn arn:aws:braket:::device/qpu/ionq/ionQdevice

# Get task details
awsbraket tasks get arn:aws:braket:us-east-1:123456789012:quantum-task/abc123

# Create a quantum task (Bell state circuit)
awsbraket tasks create \
  --device-arn arn:aws:braket:::device/quantum-simulator/amazon/sv1 \
  --shots 1000 \
  --s3-bucket my-braket-bucket

# Cancel a task
awsbraket tasks cancel arn:aws:braket:us-east-1:123456789012:quantum-task/abc123

# JSON output
awsbraket tasks list --json

Devices

# List all quantum devices
awsbraket devices list

# Filter by type
awsbraket devices list --type QPU
awsbraket devices list --type SIMULATOR

# Filter by provider
awsbraket devices list --provider IonQ
awsbraket devices list --provider Rigetti

# Get device details
awsbraket devices get arn:aws:braket:::device/qpu/ionq/ionQdevice

Circuit Jobs

# List circuit jobs
awsbraket circuits list
awsbraket circuits list --state COMPLETED

# Get job details
awsbraket circuits get my-quantum-job

# Create a circuit job
awsbraket circuits create \
  --job-name my-quantum-job \
  --role-arn arn:aws:iam::123456789012:role/BraketJobRole \
  --output-bucket my-braket-bucket

# Cancel a job
awsbraket circuits cancel my-quantum-job

Available Devices

Amazon Braket provides access to:

• IonQ — Trapped ion QPU (11+ qubits)
• Rigetti — Superconducting QPU
• OQC — Oxford Quantum Circuits
• IQM — Finnish QPU
• Amazon SV1 — State vector simulator (34 qubits)
• Amazon DM1 — Density matrix simulator (17 qubits)

JSON Output

All commands support --json for scripting:

# Get all completed tasks as JSON
awsbraket tasks list --status COMPLETED --json

# Pipe to jq
awsbraket devices list --json | jq '.[] | select(.deviceStatus == "ONLINE") | .deviceName'
