opencode-executor-mcp

MCP server exposing an ask_opencode tool that delegates a prompt to an OpenCode agent session. Lets a Claude Code orchestrator hand off executor-role / bulk work to a cheaper backend instead of spawning another Claude subagent.

Not tied to any specific provider: by default it uses OpenCode's own bundled Zen free models (only needs opencode auth login, no company gateway required). If you have a company/paid gateway configured in OpenCode, pass it explicitly per-call.

Claude Code (orchestrator)
   -> MCP tool call: ask_opencode(prompt, provider?, model?, sessionId?)
   -> this server
   -> opencode serve (localhost:4096) REST API
   -> whichever provider is selected (default: OpenCode Zen free tier)

Prerequisites

• Node.js 18+ (global fetch required)

• OpenCode CLI installed

• opencode auth login run once (sets up the bundled Zen free-tier credentials used as the default)

• Optional: any additional provider configured in OpenCode (company gateway, other API key, etc.) if you want to target something other than the default free models

Setup

1. Install dependencies:

   npm install

2. Authenticate OpenCode's default (Zen) provider, if you haven't:

   opencode auth login

3. Start the OpenCode server (must stay running while you use the tool):

   opencode serve --port 4096

4. Verify at least one provider is live:

   curl -s http://127.0.0.1:4096/config/providers | jq

   You should see a provider with id opencode (the bundled Zen models). Any additional provider you've configured will show up alongside it.

5. Register this server with Claude Code. Add to ~/.claude.json under mcpServers (see docs/claude-code-integration.md for the exact block):

   "opencode-executor": {
     "type": "stdio",
     "command": "node",
     "args": ["/absolute/path/to/opencode-mcp/index.js"]
   }

6. Restart Claude Code. The ask_opencode and list_opencode_models tools are now available.

Usage

list_opencode_models()
# -> [{ providerID: "opencode", modelID: "big-pickle", name: "Big Pickle", bundled: true }, ...]

ask_opencode({ prompt: "summarize this log file" })
# uses the default bundled Zen model

ask_opencode({ prompt: "...", provider: "my-provider", model: "some-model-id" })
# targets a specific configured provider instead

Omit sessionId for a fresh one-off session (no memory of prior calls). Pass the sessionId returned by a previous ask_opencode call to continue that same conversation — OpenCode retains the history, so the model sees prior turns. This is still call-and-response driven by Claude Code calling the tool each turn; OpenCode never initiates on its own.

Calls can be issued concurrently (fan-out / swarm) since each session is independent unless you deliberately reuse a sessionId; see docs/architecture.md.
