This guide walks you through setting up the Bigdata.com connector in Qwen Code using API Key authentication, so you can search financial news, resolve securities, and generate research reports directly from your terminal. ## Requirements * An [Alibaba Cloud Model Studio](https://modelstudio.console.alibabacloud.com/ap-southeast-1) account and an API Key for a region (for instance, Singapore: `ap-southeast-1`). * Qwen Code installed on your machine. You can download it from the [Qwen Code website](https://qwen.ai/qwencode) and follow the installation instructions for your operating system. ## Configuration Steps You can create your API Key in the [Developer Platform > API Keys](https://platform.bigdata.com/api-keys).

Ideally, store the API Key in your password manager, so you can access it in the future. The following command will register the Bigdata.com Remote MCP server in Qwen Code at the user scope, so it is available in every project. Replace `YOUR_API_KEY` with the key you created in the previous step. ```bash theme={null} qwen mcp add --scope user --transport http bigdata-com https://mcp.bigdata.com/ \ --header "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY" ``` Confirm the connector is registered and reachable by running: ```bash theme={null} qwen mcp list ``` You should see `bigdata-com` listed with a `Connected` status.

Start a new Qwen Code session in your terminal: ```bash theme={null} qwen ``` Then ask Qwen Code to use Bigdata to prepare research on any topic. For example: ```text theme={null} Using Bigdata, can you help me prepare for the earnings call of Broadcom? ``` Asking Qwen Code to prepare for the Broadcom earnings call

Asking Qwen Code to prepare for the Broadcom earnings call

Qwen Code will call the Bigdata MCP tools during its reasoning loop, retrieve grounded financial content, and produce a structured briefing with analyst consensus, institutional activity, key risks, and suggested questions for the call. Qwen Code earnings call briefing output

You can then ask Qwen Code to turn the briefing into a PDF report: ```text theme={null} Can you create a pdf report? ``` Requesting a PDF report in Qwen Code

Qwen Code will write and run a short script to generate the PDF and save it to your working directory. PDF report generated by Qwen Code
