Connect Qwen Code to AgentRQ

Connect Qwen Code to AgentRQ over the Agent Client Protocol (ACP) for human-in-the-loop task management.

Qwen Code is Alibaba's open-source coding agent CLI. It exposes an experimental ACP-style shared session mode, so it can be bridged to AgentRQ with no custom integration code.

Does Qwen Code Support ACP?

Yes. Qwen Code publishes an ACP server to the ACP registry as qwen-code, so AgentRQ's gateway can fetch and run it by name — there is nothing to install by hand.

What Connecting via ACP Gets You

Once Qwen Code is bridged through AgentRQ's ACP Gateway, every task it works on shows up on your AgentRQ task board in real time. You can approve risky commands, reply with extra context, or reassign work — from the dashboard or Slack — without touching the terminal Qwen Code is running in.

Connect Qwen Code

Run both commands from your project root — the directory holding your .mcp.json.

Log in (the first run also downloads the agent):

bash 
npx @agentrq/acp-gateway@latest --login --agent qwen-code

Start the bridge, and leave it running — it picks up tasks as you assign them:

bash 
npx @agentrq/acp-gateway@latest --agent qwen-code

That .mcp.json is what tells the gateway which workspace to take tasks from:

json 
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "agentrq": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://WORKSPACE_ID.mcp.agentrq.com/mcp?token=TOKEN"
    }
  }
}

See the ACP Gateway guide for the full setup walkthrough, including where to find your Workspace ID and token.

FAQ

Does Qwen Code work with AgentRQ?

Yes, experimentally — Qwen Code's shared session mode speaks the Agent Client Protocol (ACP), so it connects to AgentRQ through the open-source ACP Gateway with no custom integration code.

How do I connect Qwen Code to AgentRQ?

Run npx @agentrq/acp-gateway@latest --agent qwen-code from your project root, with a .mcp.json pointing at your AgentRQ workspace. Check Qwen Code's own docs for the current flag, since this mode is experimental.

What is the Agent Client Protocol (ACP)?

ACP is an open, editor-agnostic protocol that lets any coding agent talk to any client over a standard JSON-RPC interface. AgentRQ's gateway implements the client side of ACP, so any ACP-compatible agent — including Qwen Code — can use AgentRQ as its human-in-the-loop task manager.
