MCP Server for Qiita

You deploy this MCP server to access Qiita API v2 data through the MCP protocol. It aggregates user, article, tag, and comment operations behind a consistent interface, making it easy to integrate Qiita data flows into your applications and tooling.

How to use

Connect your MCP client to the Qiita MCP server to perform common operations such as retrieving user details, listing articles, managing stocks on articles, following tags, and handling comments. Use the provided MCP tool names to invoke actions from your client, and supply an access token to authenticate privileged actions like creating or updating content.

How to install

Prerequisites: you need Node.js 18.0.0 or newer.

# Install the Qiita MCP server globally (recommended)
npm install -g mcp-server-qiita

# Development setup (if you are contributing)
git clone https://github.com/selenium39/mcp-server-qiita.git
cd mcp-server-qiita
npm install
npm run build

Additional setup and start

Set your Qiita API access token as an environment variable to enable authenticated operations.

export QIITA_ACCESS_TOKEN="your_qiita_access_token_here"

Starting the server with MCP

You run the MCP server using the command shown in the MCP cursor example, which launches the server and passes the required access token via environment variables.
