OpenCode - AI Code Assistants Tool

Overview

OpenCode is an open-source AI coding agent that brings multi-model LLM assistance to developers via a terminal TUI, desktop/IDE integrations, and a CLI. It’s designed for privacy-first workflows: you can connect managed providers (OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, Groq, AWS Bedrock, Azure, and more) or point OpenCode at self-hosted endpoints, run multiple parallel agents, and selectively grant tools permission to read, edit, or run commands in a repository. The project also integrates Language Server Protocol (LSP) feedback so agents can use type/diagnostic information when reasoning about code. ([github.com](https://github.com/opencode-ai/opencode)) OpenCode emphasizes flexible deployment and extensibility: installers and prebuilt packages are provided (curl installer, Homebrew, AUR, Go install), a config file and environment variables control providers and tools, and MCP (Model Connector Protocol) and custom tool servers can expose databases, file systems, or web APIs to agents. The product exposes multi-session support, session sharing, automatic conversation compaction to manage token windows, and a skills/hooks ecosystem (community extensions like “oh-my-opencode”) to orchestrate specialized agent teams.

Key Features

• Terminal TUI built with Bubble Tea for interactive code conversations and editing.
• Multi-model support: connect OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, Groq, AWS Bedrock, Azure, and local endpoints.
• LSP integration: loads language servers automatically to provide diagnostics and type-aware reasoning.
• Tool & MCP integrations: grant agents controlled access to bash, file edits, webfetch, databases via MCP servers.
• Multi-session & parallel agents: run multiple agents (Build, Plan, subagents) concurrently on the same project.
• Auto-compact summarization of conversations to preserve context near model window limits.
• Session sharing and ACLs: share session links or disable sharing; tool permissions configurable per agent.
