Qwen Code CLI

Qwen Code CLI is Alibaba's command-line coding agent for Qwen models. It uses the OpenAI-compatible API and can be pointed at any compatible endpoint.

Mode

Direct mode only. Qwen Code uses standard OpenAI-compatible environment variables.

1. Install and configure

bash
npm install -g @qwen-code/qwen-code
export OPENAI_BASE_URL="https://your-corveil-host/v1"
export OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-citadel-your-key-here"
export OPENAI_MODEL="qwen3-coder-plus"

Replace qwen3-coder-plus with any Qwen model exposed by your Corveil instance.

2. Launch

bash
qwen

Troubleshooting

  • Model not found: Confirm the requested Qwen model is configured in your Corveil instance
  • Connection refused: Ensure OPENAI_BASE_URL includes the /v1 suffix
