Security note

MCP servers receive tool arguments from a conversation and may perform external actions. Review what a server can do before you enable it, and give it only the access it needs.

The registry verified the GitHub account nirholas for this listing. That does not show the account is the product's maker.

SourceWeft's checks cover whether the listing is complete and the endpoint answered; they do not review the server's code or what its tools do.

Overview

AI-generated overview

Local MCP server that lets an assistant run Qwen chat completions, text embeddings and model listing through your own Alibaba Cloud DashScope account.

What you can do: Chat with Qwen models such as qwen-max, qwen-plus, qwen-turbo and qwen-long, choosing the model per request.
Generate text embeddings with text-embedding-v3 for semantic search or RAG.
List the models available on your DashScope account.
Optionally be embedded in your own host via the exported buildServer() entry point.
When to use it: Useful when you want an assistant to call Qwen models or DashScope embeddings directly from a desktop MCP client such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code or Cursor, billed to your own Alibaba Cloud account rather than through a separate provider.
Requirements: Runs locally over stdio via npx from the npm package, so Node.js 20 or newer is needed. Requires an Alibaba Cloud account and a DashScope API key supplied in DASHSCOPE_API_KEY. Optional variables set the default chat and embedding models, a custom base URL, the China region, and a request timeout. Network access to the DashScope endpoint is required.

Before you install

The server needs your DashScope API key in DASHSCOPE_API_KEY, and prompts and text sent for embedding go to Alibaba Cloud's DashScope API. Usage is billed to your own Alibaba Cloud account, so model choice affects cost. It is community-built and not affiliated with Alibaba Cloud. Pointing DASHSCOPE_BASE_URL at a custom endpoint sends your key and data there.

Installation

In SourceWeft

Open Alibaba Cloud DashScope — Qwen in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Desktop only via STDIO. STDIO servers start a local process, so they need the SourceWeft desktop host.

Other MCP clients

Follow the launch instructions in the repository.

MCP server for Alibaba Cloud DashScope, Qwen chat, embeddings, and model discovery on your own account.

[npm] [license] [node] [three.ws]

Install · Quick start · Tools · Models · three.ws

A Model Context Protocol server that exposes Alibaba Cloud's Qwen models, and anything else in your DashScope account, to MCP clients such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, and Cursor. It talks directly to the DashScope OpenAI-compatible REST API with your own Alibaba Cloud API key: no intermediary backend, no telemetry, no mock data.

Community-built and not affiliated with Alibaba Cloud. Registry name: io.github.nirholas/alibaba-cloud.

Install

Run it directly with npx (no install needed):

Quick start

With Claude Code, one command:

Or add the server to your MCP client config:

Inspect

Programmatic use

The package entry point (@three-ws/alibaba-cloud-mcp) exports buildServer(): a fully-registered McpServer with no transport attached, so you can mount the three tools inside a host of your own instead of spawning the binary. It reads DASHSCOPE_API_KEY when called, and registration is otherwise side-effect free. The DashScope client itself is importable from @three-ws/alibaba-cloud-mcp/src/dashscope.js (loadConfig, DashScopeClient, DashScopeError) when you want the REST wrapper without MCP.

// example.mjs: run with: DASHSCOPE_API_KEY=sk-... node example.mjsimport { StdioServerTransport } from '@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/server/stdio.js';import { buildServer } from '@three-ws/alibaba-cloud-mcp';
const server = buildServer();
// What this server exposes, before connecting anything.for (const [name, tool] of Object.entries(server._registeredTools)) {  console.log(`${name}: ${tool.title}`);}
// Serve it over stdio (what the bin does), or attach any other MCP transport.await server.connect(new StdioServerTransport());
