Simply install from the marketplace and start coding with Qwen Code directly in your sidebar. You can search for **Qwen Code** in the VS Code Marketplace and download it.

## What Qwen Code does for you
|
|
|
|
* **Build features from descriptions**: Tell Qwen Code what you want to build in plain language. It will make a plan, write the code, and ensure it works.
|
|
* **Debug and fix issues**: Describe a bug or paste an error message. Qwen Code will analyze your codebase, identify the problem, and implement a fix.
|
|
* **Navigate any codebase**: Ask anything about your team's codebase, and get a thoughtful answer back. Qwen Code maintains awareness of your entire project structure, can find up-to-date information from the web, and with [MCP](/mcp) can pull from external datasources like Google Drive, Figma, and Slack.
|
|
* **Automate tedious tasks**: Fix fiddly lint issues, resolve merge conflicts, and write release notes. Do all this in a single command from your developer machines, or automatically in CI.
|
|
|
|
## Why developers love Qwen Code
|
|
|
|
* **Works in your terminal**: Not another chat window. Not another IDE. Qwen Code meets you where you already work, with the tools you already love.
|
|
* **Takes action**: Qwen Code can directly edit files, run commands, and create commits. Need more? [MCP](/mcp) lets Qwen Code read your design docs in Google Drive, update your tickets in Jira, or use *your* custom developer tooling.
|
|
* **Unix philosophy**: Qwen Code is composable and scriptable. `tail -f app.log | qwen -p "Slack me if you see any anomalies appear in this log stream"` *works*. Your CI can run `qwen -p "If there are new text strings, translate them into French and raise a PR for @lang-fr-team to review"`. |
