SDK
Type-safe JS client for opencode server.
The opencode JS/TS SDK provides a type-safe client for interacting with the server. Use it to build integrations and control opencode programmatically.
Learn more about how the server works. For examples, check out the projects built by the community.
Install
Install the SDK from npm:
Terminal window
npm install @opencode-ai/sdk
Create client
Create an instance of opencode:
import { createOpencode } from "@opencode-ai/sdk"
const { client } = await createOpencode()
This starts both a server and a client
Options
Option Type Description Default
hostname string Server hostname 127.0.0.1
port number Server port 4096
signal AbortSignal Abort signal for cancellation undefined
timeout number Timeout in ms for server start 5000
config Config Configuration object {}
Config
You can pass a configuration object to customize behavior. The instance still picks up your opencode.json, but you can override or add configuration inline:
import { createOpencode } from "@opencode-ai/sdk"
const opencode = await createOpencode({
hostname: "127.0.0.1",
port: 4096,
config: {
model: "anthropic/claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022",
},
})
console.log(`Server running at ${opencode.server.url}`)
opencode.server.close()
Client only
If you already have a running instance of opencode, you can create a client instance to connect to it:
import { createOpencodeClient } from "@opencode-ai/sdk"
const client = createOpencodeClient({
baseUrl: "http://localhost:4096",
})
Options
Option Type Description Default
baseUrl string URL of the server http://localhost:4096
fetch function Custom fetch implementation globalThis.fetch
parseAs string Response parsing method auto
responseStyle string Return style: data or fields fields
throwOnError boolean Throw errors instead of return false
Types
The SDK includes TypeScript definitions for all API types. Import them directly:
import type { Session, Message, Part } from "@opencode-ai/sdk"
All types are generated from the servers OpenAPI specification and available in the types file.
Errors
The SDK can throw errors that you can catch and handle:
try {
await client.session.get({ path: { id: "invalid-id" } })
} catch (error) {
console.error("Failed to get session:", (error as Error).message)
}
Structured Output
You can request structured JSON output from the model by specifying an format with a JSON schema. The model will use a StructuredOutput tool to return validated JSON matching your schema.
Basic Usage
const result = await client.session.prompt({
path: { id: sessionId },
body: {
parts: [{ type: "text", text: "Research Anthropic and provide company info" }],
format: {
type: "json_schema",
schema: {
type: "object",
properties: {
company: { type: "string", description: "Company name" },
founded: { type: "number", description: "Year founded" },
products: {
type: "array",
items: { type: "string" },
description: "Main products",
},
},
required: ["company", "founded"],
},
},
},
})
// Access the structured output
console.log(result.data.info.structured_output)
// { company: "Anthropic", founded: 2021, products: ["Claude", "Claude API"] }
Output Format Types
Type Description
text Default. Standard text response (no structured output)
json_schema Returns validated JSON matching the provided schema
JSON Schema Format
When using type: 'json_schema', provide:
Field Type Description
type 'json_schema' Required. Specifies JSON schema mode
schema object Required. JSON Schema object defining the output structure
retryCount number Optional. Number of validation retries (default: 2)
Error Handling
If the model fails to produce valid structured output after all retries, the response will include a StructuredOutputError:
if (result.data.info.error?.name === "StructuredOutputError") {
console.error("Failed to produce structured output:", result.data.info.error.message)
console.error("Attempts:", result.data.info.error.retries)
}
Best Practices
Provide clear descriptions in your schema properties to help the model understand what data to extract
Use required to specify which fields must be present
Keep schemas focused - complex nested schemas may be harder for the model to fill correctly
Set appropriate retryCount - increase for complex schemas, decrease for simple ones
APIs
The SDK exposes all server APIs through a type-safe client.
