SpecStream for Qwen Code
SpecStream is the live web data engine for teams and agents. Qwen Code's built-in web search needs DashScope or a Qwen subscription. Add SpecStream as an mcpServers entry and Qwen Code searches the live web, reads whole pages and writes research reports on any model provider.
What you get
- One qwen mcp add command
- qwen mcp add specstream with -t http and an Authorization header writes the entry to ~/.qwen/settings.json for every project.
- A report with its sources
- Ask a question and get a written report from the live web, with the page behind each cited sentence. You see the price before it starts.
- Search and read in one session
- search_web answers from the live web, and read_pages returns the main text of the pages Qwen Code needs.
Set it up
- Create a SpecStream API key and export it as SPECSTREAM_API_KEY.
- Run qwen mcp add specstream -t http with the address https://api.specstream.ai/mcp and the Authorization header.
- Start qwen, enter /mcp to see the server, and name SpecStream when you ask.
