Overview
Qwen Max MCP Server is a Node.js/TypeScript MCP server that enables access to the Qwen model family (Qwen Max, Qwen Plus, and Qwen Turbo) via the MCP protocol, with direct Claude Desktop integration. Prerequisites include Node.js v18+, npm, Claude Desktop, and a Dashscope API key. It can be installed automatically via Smithery or manually from GitHub, and the default model is Qwen-Max, with options to switch to Qwen-Plus or Qwen-Turbo by editing src/index.ts. The server exposes distinct context windows and token budgets per model: Qwen-Max (32,768 context window; 30,720 max input; 8,192 max output; pricing for input/output and a 1M free quota), Qwen-Plus (131,072 context window; 129,024 max input; 8,192 max output; separate pricing and 1M free quota), and Qwen-Turbo (1,000,000 token context; 1,000,000 max input; 8,192 max output; pricing and 1M free quota). Configuration relies on a .env file with DASHSCOPE_API_KEY and a Claude Desktop config mapping the built server (index.js). Development commands, API usage example, and error handling emphasis are provided, all aimed at a robust MCP-compliant gateway to Qwen models.
