What the code does

Evidence

Things with no honest explanation: a promise that contradicts the code, code that runs at install time while hiding what it does, data leaving the machine.

Capabilities

What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.

Connect this server

This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

Put your own value in place of <DASHSCOPE_API_KEY> (DashScope API key. Create one at https://bailian.console.alibabacloud.com/ → API Keys). The author’s registry entry marks it as required.

Optional settings from the registry entry, left out of the block above: DASHSCOPE_MODEL_ID (Default chat model id. Options: qwen-max, qwen-plus (default), qwen-turbo, qwen-long), DASHSCOPE_EMBED_MODEL_ID (Default embedding model id. Defaults to text-embedding-v3), DASHSCOPE_BASE_URL (Custom DashScope endpoint. Defaults to international (dashscope-intl.aliyuncs.com)), DASHSCOPE_REGION (Set to 'cn' to use the China endpoint (dashscope.aliyuncs.com). Ignored if DASHSCOPE_BASE_URL is set).

Alibaba Cloud DashScope — Qwen — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Alibaba Cloud DashScope — Qwen?
Alibaba Cloud DashScope — Qwen runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the npm package @three-ws/alibaba-cloud-mcp was installed 678 times last week.
How do I connect Alibaba Cloud DashScope — Qwen?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls @three-ws/alibaba-cloud-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Alibaba Cloud DashScope — Qwen?
The npm package @three-ws/alibaba-cloud-mcp was installed 678 times in the last week. Week over week that is +279%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Alibaba Cloud DashScope — Qwen open source?
Yes — it is published under the Apache-2.0 licence, written in JavaScript, 264 stars on GitHub and 6 open issues. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
