Although BCS wave functions for superconductors under periodic boundary conditions are well established, obtaining an explicit form of the many-body BCS wave function under open boundary condition is usually a nontrivial problem. In this work, we construct the exact BCS ground-state wave function of a one-dimensional spin-\frac12 superconductor with p+is pairing symmetry under open boundary conditions for special sets of parameters. The spin magnetization on the edges is calculated explicitly using the obtained wave function. Our work is useful for obtaining deeper understandings of open p+ is superconducting chains on a wave-function level.
