OpenCode MCP Tool

📚 Documentation Available in docs/ folder - Examples, FAQ, Troubleshooting, Best Practices

This is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that allows AI assistants to interact with the OpenCode CLI. It enables AI assistants to leverage multiple AI models through a unified interface, with features like plan mode for structured thinking and extensive model selection.

• Ask questions through multiple AI models via Claude or other MCP clients
• Use plan mode for structured analysis and safer operations

TLDR: + Multiple AI Models via OpenCode

Goal: Use OpenCode's multi-model capabilities directly in Claude Code with flexible model selection and plan mode features.

Prerequisites

Before using this tool, ensure you have:

1. Node.js (v16.0.0 or higher)
2. OpenCode CLI installed and configured

One-Line Setup

claude mcp add opencode -- npx -y opencode-mcp-tool -- --model google/gemini-2.5-pro

Verify Installation

Type /mcp inside Claude Code to verify the opencode-cli MCP is active.

Alternative: Import from Claude Desktop

If you already have it configured in Claude Desktop:

1. Add to your Claude Desktop config:

"opencode": {
  "command": "npx",
  "args": ["-y", "opencode-mcp-tool", "--", "--model", "google/gemini-2.5-pro"]
}

2. Import to Claude Code:

claude mcp add-from-claude-desktop

Configuration

Register the MCP server with your MCP client. Note: The server requires a primary model to be specified.

For NPX Usage (Recommended)

Add this configuration to your Claude Desktop config file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "opencode": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "opencode-mcp-tool", "--", "--model", "google/gemini-2.5-pro", "--fallback-model", "google/gemini-2.5-flash"]
    }
  }
}

For Global Installation

If you installed globally, use this configuration instead:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "opencode": {
      "command": "opencode-mcp",
      "args": ["--model", "google/gemini-2.5-pro", "--fallback-model", "google/gemini-2.5-flash"]
    }
  }
}

Configuration File Locations:

• Claude Desktop:
  • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
  • Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
  • Linux: ~/.config/claude/claude_desktop_config.json

After updating the configuration, restart your terminal session.

Example Workflow

• Natural language: "use opencode to explain index.html", "understand the massive project using opencode", "ask opencode to search for latest news"
• Claude Code: Type /opencode and commands will populate in Claude Code's interface.

Usage Examples

With File References (using @ syntax)

• ask opencode to analyze @src/main.js and explain what it does
• use opencode to summarize @. the current directory
• analyze @package.json and tell me about dependencies

General Questions (without files)

• ask opencode to search for the latest tech news
• use opencode to explain div centering
• ask opencode about best practices for React development related to @file_im_confused_about

Using OpenCode's Plan Mode

The plan mode allows you to safely test code changes, run scripts, or execute potentially risky operations with structured planning.

• use opencode plan mode to create and run a Python script that processes data
• ask opencode to safely test @script.py and explain what it does
• use opencode plan mode to install numpy and create a data visualization
• test this code safely: Create a script that makes HTTP requests to an API

Tools (for the AI)

These tools are designed to be used by the AI assistant.

• ask-opencode: Execute OpenCode with model selection and mode control. Uses plan mode by default for structured analysis.
  • prompt (required): The analysis request. Use the @ syntax to include file or directory references (e.g., @src/main.js explain this code) or ask general questions (e.g., Please use a web search to find the latest news stories).
  • model (optional): The model to use. If not specified, uses the primary model configured at server startup.
  • mode (optional): Execution mode - 'plan' for structured analysis (default), 'build' for immediate execution, or custom mode string.
• brainstorm: Generate novel ideas with dynamic context gathering using creative frameworks (SCAMPER, Design Thinking, etc.), domain context integration, idea clustering, feasibility analysis, and iterative refinement.
  • prompt (required): Primary brainstorming challenge or question to explore.
  • methodology (optional): Brainstorming framework - 'divergent', 'convergent', 'scamper', 'design-thinking', 'lateral', or 'auto' (default).
  • domain (optional): Domain context (e.g., 'software', 'business', 'creative', 'research').
  • ideaCount (optional): Target number of ideas to generate (default: 12).
  • includeAnalysis (optional): Include feasibility and impact analysis (default: true).
• timeout-test: Test timeout prevention by running for a specified duration.
  • duration (required): Duration in milliseconds for the test.
• ping: Echo test tool that returns a message.
  • prompt (optional): Message to echo back.
• Help: Shows the OpenCode CLI help text.

Slash Commands (for the User)

You can use these commands directly in Claude Code's interface (compatibility with other clients has not been tested).

• /plan: Execute OpenCode in plan mode for structured analysis and safer operations.
  • prompt (required): Analysis request (e.g., /plan prompt:Create and run a Python script that processes CSV data or /plan prompt:@script.py Analyze this script safely).
• /build: Execute OpenCode in immediate execution mode for direct implementation.
  • prompt (required): Implementation request for immediate code execution.
• /help: Displays the OpenCode CLI help information.
• /ping: Tests the connection to the server.
  • prompt (optional): A message to echo back.
