# 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`.

```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.

```bash
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.

Details in [API tokens →](/docs/api-tokens) and [Scoped tokens for AI agents →](/agents/scoped-tokens-for-ai-agents).

## 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.
