How to Create Your Waitlist with Qwen Code

Qwen Code is Alibaba's open, Apache-licensed CLI agent, tuned for the Qwen coder models. Point it at the UseWait MCP server and it goes from a one-line brief to a live waitlist: it picks a slug, writes the page, sets up the confirmation email and can wire a custom domain. Here is how to create your waitlist with Qwen Code.

Set up your waitlist with Qwen Code

Get your UseWait API key

Create a free UseWait account, open Dashboard, Settings, API Keys, and create a key (it looks like uw_live_...). Copy it right away, since it is shown only once. API and MCP access are on every plan, free included.

Add UseWait to settings.json

Qwen Code reads MCP servers from mcpServers in ~/.qwen/settings.json (global) or .qwen/settings.json (per project). Remote HTTP servers use httpUrl, not url, so paste the snippet below with your real key. You can also run: qwen mcp add --transport http usewait https://usewait.com/api/mcp/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer uw_live_YOUR_KEY" --scope user.

~/.qwen/settings.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "usewait": {
      "httpUrl": "https://usewait.com/api/mcp/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer uw_live_YOUR_KEY",
        "Accept": "application/json, text/event-stream"
      }
    }
  }
}

Ask Qwen Code for your waitlist

Start Qwen Code in your project and prompt it: "Create a waitlist for my indie game. Pick a slug and give the page an arcade feel." It reads the get_started tool for the flow and get_page_format for the exact page contract, then creates the waitlist and writes the page. It is live at usewait.com/w/<slug> the moment it is created.

Level it up

Ask it to connect your own domain (it relays the exact A record to add at your DNS provider), upload a logo to the CDN, or write a branded confirmation email. Use list_entries any time to read signups and referral stats.

Frequently asked questions

Does Qwen Code support remote MCP servers?

Yes. Qwen Code connects to remote HTTP MCP servers through the httpUrl field with a headers object, so it reaches UseWait's hosted endpoint directly with your Authorization header. No local bridge is needed.

Why httpUrl instead of url?

Qwen Code uses httpUrl for streamable HTTP servers and reserves url for other transports. The Accept header advertising text/event-stream keeps partial progress flowing on longer tool calls.

Is it free?

UseWait's API and MCP access are on every plan, including the free tier. Some capabilities the tools expose, like custom domains, depend on the waitlist being licensed.

Get your API key and let Qwen Code launch it

Free plan includes full API and MCP access. Your agent does the rest.
