Qwen Code IDE Plugins ​

Qwen Code supports usage as a plugin in VS Code and JetBrains IDE, providing AI coding capabilities within the IDE.

VS Code ​

Ensure your VS Code version is 1.85.0 or higher before use.

  1. Open VS Code, search for Qwen Code Companion in the Extensions Marketplace and install it.

  2. The CLI and IDE plugin share the same settings.json. If you have already completed the configuration above, skip this step. Otherwise, follow the Configure Access Credentials section above.

  2. Open JetBrains IDE, go to the AI Chat page, and click Install Plugin. IDEA will install the JetBrains AI Assistant plugin .

  3. Click the three-dot menu in the upper-right corner of the AI Chat window, select Add Custom Agent, and fill in the following configuration. Replace /path/to/qwen with the Qwen Code installation path. Run the following command to find the path:

    • macOS/Linux: which qwen

    • Windows: where qwen (CMD) or Get-Command qwen (PowerShell)

json
{
  "agent_servers": {
    "qwen": {
      "command": "/path/to/qwen",
      "args": ["--acp"],

    }
  }
}
