How to Use Qwen3 Coder with Claude Code

The official documentation provides two specific methods for integrating Qwen3-Coder with Claude Code.

Method 1: Using the Proxy API Provided by DashScope

This method simply requires replacing Anthropic's base URL with the endpoint provided by DashScope.

export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=https://dashscope.aliyuncs.com/api/v2/apps/claude-code-proxy
export ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN=your-dashscope-apikey

At this point, you can directly type claude to start using Qwen3-Coder & Claude Code.

Method 2: Custom Routing with claude-code-config

claude-code-router is a third-party routing tool that allows Claude Code to flexibly switch between different backend APIs. The DashScope platform offers a simple extension package, claude-code-config, which generates default configurations supported by DashScope for claude-code-router.

First, install the necessary packages:

npm install -g @musistudio/claude-code-router
npm install -g @dashscope-js/claude-code-config

Then, generate the configuration file and plugin directory:

ccr-dashscope

This command will automatically generate the configuration file and plugin directory required by CCR. You can also manually adjust the configurations in ~/.claude-code-router/config.json and ~/.claude-code-router/plugins/. Finally, start using Claude Code via CCR:

ccr code
