In addition to the tools listed above, Alibaba Cloud Model Studio supports any third-party programming tool that is compatible with the OpenAI or Anthropic API protocol and allows custom service endpoints. You can connect via Pay-as-you-go, Coding Plan, or Token Plan (Team Edition).
Configure credentials
Alibaba Cloud Model Studio offers three billing plans. Choose based on your needs:
Token Plan (Team Edition): Seat-based subscription. Token consumption is deducted from Credits.
Coding Plan: Fixed monthly subscription billed by number of model calls.
Pay-as-you-go: Post-paid based on actual usage.

Unsupported tool types
Token Plan (Team Edition) and Coding Plan are intended for use only with AI programming tools and OpenClaw-type agents. The following types of tools are not supported:
Workflow and automation platforms: such as Dify, n8n, Coze, etc.
API testing tools: such as Postman, Insomnia, etc.
Custom applications: direct API calls from automated scripts, application backend code, etc.
Using a plan API key for calls outside the permitted scope will be considered a violation or abuse, and may result in subscription suspension or API key ban.
Use in IDEs
Some programming tools (such as Lingma Personal Edition, Cursor Free, and Trae) do not support custom service endpoints and cannot directly use Token Plan (Team Edition) or Coding Plan.
To use Model Studio in VS Code variants (Cursor, Trae, etc.) or JetBrains IDEs (IDEA, PyCharm, etc.), install one of the following extensions:
Claude Code: Supports VS Code and JetBrains IDEs. See the Claude Code documentation.
Kilo Code: Supports VS Code and JetBrains IDEs. See the Kilo CLI documentation.
Qwen Code: Supports VS Code. See the Qwen Code documentation.
