Use Comma with Qwen Code

Qwen Code is a terminal agent in the Gemini CLI lineage, and it takes remote MCP servers the same way: one command or one httpUrl entry. Attach Comma and the agent can publish what it found as a link people can comment on.

Add Comma to Qwen Code

User: ~/.qwen/settings.json. Project: .qwen/settings.json.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "comma": {
      "httpUrl": "https://commareports.com/api/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer comma_sk_…"
      },
      "timeout": 30000
    }
  }
}

Replace comma_sk_… with a token from Settings → API tokens → New token on Comma (or export it as COMMA_API_TOKEN where the snippet reads an env var). The default scopes — reports:write, comments:read, comments:write — cover publishing and review.

qwen mcp add --transport http comma https://commareports.com/api/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer comma_sk_…"

Qwen Code gotchas

  • httpUrl, not url. In Qwen Code (as in Gemini CLI), url means SSE; Comma needs httpUrl for Streamable HTTP.
  • Raise timeout if the agent publishes large reports with embedded images — uploads take longer than a tool list.
  • /mcp inside a session lists servers and whether the Comma tools loaded.

What the agent can do

Capability Tools
Publish a report create_report, update_report, create_report_from_url
Find existing reports list_reports, search_reports, get_report, read_report
Leave / reply to comments add_comment, reply_to_comment, set_comment_status, list_comments
Ask for review, share request_review, set_report_sharing, get_report_signoffs
Manage assets upload_report_asset, list_report_assets, delete_report_asset

Qwen Code picks the tool from the request — there are no Qwen Code-specific commands to learn.

A workflow that sticks

  1. Ask Qwen Code to write up the work as a self-contained HTML report and publish it to Comma. It calls create_report and returns a link.
  2. Send the link. Reviewers open a rendered page and leave comments anchored to the exact line, cell or chart they mean — no account needed to read a public link.
  3. Next session, ask Qwen Code to address the comments. It reads the threads with list_comments, ships a revision with update_report (same URL), replies, and resolves them.

Reports belong to your workspace, not to the agent. A report published from Qwen Code can be revised tomorrow from Claude Code or Cursor, and the link people bookmarked keeps working.

Token shape

  • Lives in ~/.qwen/settings.json when added at user scope.
  • Scoped — you choose which actions it can take when you create it.
  • Revocable in one click from Settings → API tokens; revocation applies immediately to the REST API, the MCP server and any routines the token created.
  • Rate-limited per token.

Try it

Add the entry, generate a token, restart Qwen Code, and ask for a report on something you worked on today. Then leave a comment on it and ask the agent what it sees.
