Qwen OAuth authentication plugin for opencode - use your Qwen account instead of API keys
OAuth plugin for OpenCode to use Qwen for free via Qwen Account, compatible with the qwen-code CLI mechanism.
Configure in opencode.json:
{
"$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
"plugin": ["opencode-qwen-cli-auth"],
"model": "qwen-code/coder-model"
}
opencode auth login
Select provider Qwen Code (qwen.ai OAuth) and follow the instructions:
To add more accounts, run opencode auth login again.
The plugin stores each successful login in the multi-account store and can auto-switch on quota exhaustion.
| Model | ID | Input | Output | Context | Max Output | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Qwen Coder (Qwen 3.5 Plus) | coder-model | text | text | 1M tokens | 65,536 tokens | Free |
| Qwen VL Plus (Vision) | vision-model | text, image | text | 128K tokens | 8,192 tokens | Free |
coder-model is marked as reasoning-capable in OpenCode UI.reasoning, reasoningEffort, or reasoning_effort, the plugin removes these fields before forwarding requests.| Variable | Description | Value |
|---|---|---|
QWEN_CLI_PATH | Path to qwen CLI (for fallback) | Default: auto-detect |
QWEN_MODE | Qwen mode toggle | 1/true (default) |
DEBUG_QWEN_PLUGIN=1 | Enable debug logging | Optional |
ENABLE_PLUGIN_REQUEST_LOGGING=1 | Enable request logging to file | Optional |
OPENCODE_QWEN_ENABLE_CLI_FALLBACK=1 | Enable CLI fallback on quota error | Optional |
OPENCODE_QWEN_ACCOUNTS_PATH | Override multi-account store path (must be inside ~/.qwen) | Optional |
OPENCODE_QWEN_QUOTA_COOLDOWN_MS | Cooldown for exhausted accounts | Default: 86400000 (24h) |
# Debug mode - logs to console
DEBUG_QWEN_PLUGIN=1 opencode run "hello" --model=qwen-code/coder-model
# Request logging - saves detailed JSON files
ENABLE_PLUGIN_REQUEST_LOGGING=1 opencode run "hello" --model=qwen-code/coder-model
Log files are stored at: ~/.opencode/logs/qwen-plugin/
1. OpenCode requests auth -> Plugin
2. Plugin requests device code from Qwen OAuth Server
3. Displays URL + code to user
4. User opens URL and enters code to authorize
5. Plugin polls token from Qwen OAuth Server
6. Saves token and returns to OpenCode
7. All API requests are injected with headers and sent to DashScope
~/.qwen/oauth_creds.json~/.qwen/oauth_accounts.json~/.qwen/oauth_accounts.lockThe plugin automatically injects required headers for DashScope OAuth:
X-DashScope-AuthType: qwen-oauth
X-DashScope-CacheControl: enable
User-Agent: QwenCode/{cli-version} ({platform}; {arch})
X-DashScope-UserAgent: QwenCode/{cli-version} ({platform}; {arch})
When hitting a 429 insufficient_quota error, the plugin automatically:
qwen CLI only for text-only payloads when OPENCODE_QWEN_ENABLE_CLI_FALLBACK=1 is set401/403, marks current account as auth_invalid and switches to next healthy account when availableopencode auth login)# View saved token
cat ~/.qwen/oauth_creds.json
# View multi-account store
cat ~/.qwen/oauth_accounts.json
PowerShell:
Remove-Item -Recurse -Force "$HOME/.opencode/qwen"
Remove-Item -Force "$HOME/.qwen/oauth_creds.json"
Bash (Linux/macOS):
rm -rf ~/.opencode/qwen
rm ~/.qwen/oauth_creds.json
# Clear old token and login again
opencode auth logout
opencode auth login
