Server
Interact with opencode server over HTTP.
The opencode serve command runs a headless HTTP server that exposes an OpenAPI endpoint that an opencode client can use.
Usage
Terminal window
opencode serve [--port <number>] [--hostname <string>] [--cors <origin>]
Options
Flag Description Default
--port Port to listen on 4096
--hostname Hostname to listen on 127.0.0.1
--mdns Enable mDNS discovery false
--mdns-domain Custom domain name for mDNS service opencode.local
--cors Additional browser origins to allow []
--cors can be passed multiple times:
Terminal window
opencode serve --cors http://localhost:5173 --cors https://app.example.com
Authentication
Set OPENCODE_SERVER_PASSWORD to protect the server with HTTP basic auth. The username defaults to opencode, or set OPENCODE_SERVER_USERNAME to override it. This applies to both opencode serve and opencode web.
Terminal window
OPENCODE_SERVER_PASSWORD=your-password opencode serve
How it works
When you run opencode it starts a TUI and a server. Where the TUI is the client that talks to the server. The server exposes an OpenAPI 3.1 spec endpoint. This endpoint is also used to generate an SDK.
Tip
Use the opencode server to interact with opencode programmatically.
This architecture lets opencode support multiple clients and allows you to interact with opencode programmatically.
You can run opencode serve to start a standalone server. If you have the opencode TUI running, opencode serve will start a new server.
Connect to an existing server
When you start the TUI it randomly assigns a port and hostname. You can instead pass in the --hostname and --port flags. Then use this to connect to its server.
The /tui endpoint can be used to drive the TUI through the server. For example, you can prefill or run a prompt. This setup is used by the OpenCode IDE plugins.
Spec
The server publishes an OpenAPI 3.1 spec that can be viewed at:
http://<hostname>:<port>/doc
For example, http://localhost:4096/doc. Use the spec to generate clients or inspect request and response types. Or view it in a Swagger explorer.
