Install Pi

Prerequisites

npm i @mariozechner/pi-coding-agent

Installation

# Install using npm package
pi install npm:pi-dashscope

Verify Installation

After installation, verify it's working:

# List available models
pi model list

# Check if dashscope models appear:
# dashscope/qwen3.5-plus
# dashscope/qwen3-max-2026-01-23
# etc.

Configuration

Interactive setup (recommended)

After installing, run the configure command inside pi:

/dashscope-configure

It will prompt you for your API key and save it to ~/.pi/agent/dashscope.json. The key is applied immediately — no restart needed.

Environment variable

Set DASHSCOPE_API_KEY in your environment (takes precedence over the saved config):

export DASHSCOPE_API_KEY=sk-sp-...

Get your API key from the Model Studio console.

Usage

After installing, use /model or Ctrl+L in pi to select a dashscope/... model. Use Ctrl+T to toggle thinking for models that support it.
