Alibaba Cloud DashScope — Qwen runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 256 installs a week from npm. Last commit 18 Sep 2026.
Alibaba Cloud DashScope MCP: Qwen chat, embeddings, and model discovery on your own account.
Today is the operative word: we check Alibaba Cloud DashScope — Qwen every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.
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.
