Qwen Code

An extension opens Qwen Code’s plans in Plannotator and it reaches the Inbox through MCP. On macOS and Linux your reply arrives as its next turn.

Hooks and MCP · Plannotator’s hooks and commands plus the Inbox through MCP

Set it up

Install Plannotator. It adds the extension and the skills when it finds Qwen Code 0.13 or newer.

curl -fsSL https://plannotator.ai/install.sh | bash

You should see Plan review: when the agent calls exit_plan_mode, the plan opens in your browser.
Open the Inbox. It connects the agents it finds on this computer.

plannotator inbox

You should see The terminal says Plannotator can now send your replies straight into any running Qwen Code session.
Restart Qwen Code.

Other ways

Connect the Inbox yourself

Merge this into mcpServers in Qwen Code’s settings. Don’t use qwen mcp add.

~/.qwen/settings.json

{ "mcpServers": { "plannotator-inbox": { "command": "plannotator", "args": ["inbox", "mcp"] } } }

On Windows

Install Plannotator from PowerShell. The other steps are the same.

Check it works

Paste this into Qwen Code.

Send me a test question in the Plannotator Inbox, and read my answer when I tell you I sent it.

You should see A question arrives in the Inbox. Answer it and press Send. The thread reads Delivered to Qwen Code and Qwen Code goes on with your answer.

Troubleshooting

The installer says Qwen Code is older than 0.13.0: Update Qwen Code and run the installer again.
The installer says the extension is turned off: Turn it on.

qwen extensions enable plannotator
You approved the plan but Qwen is still waiting: Qwen Code asks you to confirm once more in the terminal. That is expected.
Your reply never shows up on its own: It needs Qwen Code 0.24 or newer in a terminal on macOS or Linux. qwen -p and sessions an editor or qwen serve drives aren’t woken.
The Inbox doesn’t open: Read ~/.plannotator/inbox/inbox.log. Stop a stuck Inbox process and run plannotator inbox again.

Notes you add when you approve a plan can’t reach the agent, so plan review doesn’t offer them.
Replies don’t wake Qwen Code on Windows.
