three.ws Joins the Alibaba Cloud Partner Network

three.ws is now an Alibaba Cloud Partner. The platform has been enrolled in the Alibaba Cloud Partner Network, bringing Alibaba's Qwen family of foundation models and Asia-Pacific cloud infrastructure to the three.ws 3D AI agent platform.

What this adds to three.ws

three.ws agents choose their brain. Today that brain can be Claude, GPT-4o, IBM Granite, or any model the builder selects. The Alibaba Cloud partnership adds the Qwen family to that list — one of the strongest open-weight model lines in the world, with standout performance on multilingual, long-context, and coding tasks.

Qwen models are available immediately via the @three-ws/alibaba-cloud-mcp MCP server, published to npm and the MCP Registry under io.github.nirholas/alibaba-cloud. Wire any Qwen model into Claude Code, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible agent in one command:

# Add Alibaba Cloud DashScope to Claude Code claude mcp add alibaba-cloud \ -e DASHSCOPE_API_KEY=sk-... \ -- npx -y @three-ws/alibaba-cloud-mcp

The Qwen model lineup

DashScope exposes the full Qwen family through an OpenAI-compatible API, so any agent that knows how to call GPT can call Qwen with a single line change. The MCP server defaults to qwen-plus and supports the following models out of the box:

Model	Strengths
qwen-max	Highest quality — complex reasoning, long documents, nuanced tasks
qwen-plus	Balanced performance and cost — the default for most agent workflows
qwen-turbo	Fastest and cheapest — high-throughput pipelines and simple completions
qwen-long	Up to 1 million tokens of context — whole codebases, large documents
text-embedding-v3	Text embeddings (64–2048 dimensions) for search, RAG, and clustering

Asia-Pacific reach

three.ws agents are embedded across storefronts, DeFi dashboards, and interactive sites worldwide. Alibaba Cloud's global edge network — with particular density across East Asia, Southeast Asia, and Australia — closes the latency gap for users and agents in the APAC region. The DashScope API is available on both international (dashscope-intl.aliyuncs.com) and China-region (dashscope.aliyuncs.com) endpoints, configurable with a single environment variable.

What ships today

@three-ws/alibaba-cloud-mcp — production-ready MCP server with qwen_chat, qwen_embed, and qwen_list_models tools. No intermediary backend; your DASHSCOPE_API_KEY talks directly to DashScope.
International and China endpoints — set DASHSCOPE_REGION=cn or DASHSCOPE_BASE_URL for custom routing.
Full model selection — override the default model per call with any Qwen model id.

Get your DashScope API key

Create a free Alibaba Cloud account at alibabacloud.com, navigate to Bailian Console → API Keys, and generate a key. Paste it into the DASHSCOPE_API_KEY environment variable and the MCP server connects immediately.
