Providers

The recommended approach is to sign up for claude pro or max and do opencode auth login and select Anthropic. It is the most cost effective way to use this tool.

Additionally opencode is powered by the provider list at models.dev so you can use opencode auth login to configure api keys for any provider you'd like to use. This is stored in ~/.local/share/opencode/auth.json

$ opencode auth login

┌  Add credential
│
◆  Select provider
│  ● Anthropic (recommended)
│  ○ OpenAI
│  ○ Google
│  ○ Amazon Bedrock
│  ○ Azure
│  ○ DeepSeek
│  ○ Groq
│  ...
└

The models.dev dataset is also used to detect common environment variables like OPENAI_API_KEY to autoload that provider.

If there are additional providers you want to use you can submit a PR to the models.dev repo. If configuring just for yourself check out the Config section below

Project Config

Project configuration is optional. You can place an opencode.json file in the root of your repo and it will be loaded.

  "$schema": "http://opencode.ai/config.json"
