- title: Server
- description: Interact with opencode server over HTTP.
- ---
- import config from "../../../config.mjs"
- export const typesUrl = `${config.github}/blob/dev/packages/sdk/js/src/gen/types.gen.ts`
- The `opencode serve` command runs a headless HTTP server that exposes an OpenAPI endpoint that an opencode client can use.
- ---
- ### Usage
- ```bash
- opencode serve [--port <number>] [--hostname <string>]
- ```
- #### Options
- | Flag | Description | Default |
- | ------------ | --------------------- | ----------- |
- | `--port` | Port to listen on | `4096` |
- | `--hostname` | Hostname to listen on | `127.0.0.1` |
- | `--mdns` | Enable mDNS discovery | `false` |
- ---
- ### 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](/docs/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](/docs/cli). Then use this to connect to its server.
- The [`/tui`](#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](/docs/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.
