⌬ OpenCode

⚠️ Early Development Notice: This project is in early development and is not yet ready for production use. Features may change, break, or be incomplete. Use at your own risk.

A powerful terminal-based AI assistant for developers, providing intelligent coding assistance directly in your terminal.

Overview

OpenCode is a Go-based CLI application that brings AI assistance to your terminal. It provides a TUI (Terminal User Interface) for interacting with various AI models to help with coding tasks, debugging, and more.

Features

• Interactive TUI: Built with Bubble Tea for a smooth terminal experience
• Multiple AI Providers: Support for OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, AWS Bedrock, and Groq
• Session Management: Save and manage multiple conversation sessions
• Tool Integration: AI can execute commands, search files, and modify code
• Vim-like Editor: Integrated editor with text input capabilities
• Persistent Storage: SQLite database for storing conversations and sessions
• LSP Integration: Language Server Protocol support for code intelligence
• File Change Tracking: Track and visualize file changes during sessions
• External Editor Support: Open your preferred editor for composing messages

Installation

# Coming soon
go install github.com/kujtimiihoxha/opencode@latest

Configuration

OpenCode looks for configuration in the following locations:

• $HOME/.opencode.json
• $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/opencode/.opencode.json
• ./.opencode.json (local directory)

Environment Variables

You can configure OpenCode using environment variables:

AI Assistant Tools

OpenCode's AI assistant has access to various tools to help with coding tasks:

File and Code Tools

Other Tools

Architecture

OpenCode is built with a modular architecture:

• cmd: Command-line interface using Cobra
• internal/app: Core application services
• internal/config: Configuration management
• internal/db: Database operations and migrations
• internal/llm: LLM providers and tools integration
• internal/tui: Terminal UI components and layouts
• internal/logging: Logging infrastructure
• internal/message: Message handling
• internal/session: Session management
• internal/lsp: Language Server Protocol integration

MCP (Model Context Protocol)

OpenCode implements the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to extend its capabilities through external tools. MCP provides a standardized way for the AI assistant to interact with external services and tools.

MCP Features

• External Tool Integration: Connect to external tools and services via a standardized protocol
• Tool Discovery: Automatically discover available tools from MCP servers
• Multiple Connection Types:
  • Stdio: Communicate with tools via standard input/output
  • SSE: Communicate with tools via Server-Sent Events
• Security: Permission system for controlling access to MCP tools

Configuring MCP Servers

MCP servers are defined in the configuration file under the mcpServers section:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "example": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "path/to/mcp-server",
      "env": [],
      "args": []
    },
    "web-example": {
      "type": "sse",
      "url": "https://example.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer token"
      }
    }
  }
}

MCP Tool Usage

Once configured, MCP tools are automatically available to the AI assistant alongside built-in tools. They follow the same permission model as other tools, requiring user approval before execution.

LSP (Language Server Protocol)

OpenCode integrates with Language Server Protocol to provide code intelligence features across multiple programming languages.

LSP Features

• Multi-language Support: Connect to language servers for different programming languages
• Diagnostics: Receive error checking and linting information
• File Watching: Automatically notify language servers of file changes

Configuring LSP

Language servers are configured in the configuration file under the lsp section:

{
  "lsp": {
    "go": {
      "disabled": false,
      "command": "gopls"
    },
    "typescript": {
      "disabled": false,
      "command": "typescript-language-server",
      "args": ["--stdio"]
    }
  }
}

LSP Integration with AI

The AI assistant can access LSP features through the diagnostics tool, allowing it to:

• Check for errors in your code
• Suggest fixes based on diagnostics

While the LSP client implementation supports the full LSP protocol (including completions, hover, definition, etc.), currently only diagnostics are exposed to the AI assistant.
