# OpenCode

Runs an open-source coding agent in your terminal, desktop app or browser with the LLM provider you choose

Category: Coding agents. Pricing: Open source. License: MIT.

Platforms: macos, linux, windows, web, docker.

## Why you would want it

OpenCode has two built-in agents you switch between with Tab: build, with full access for development work, and plan, which is read-only, denies file edits by default and asks before running bash commands. It supports many LLM providers out of the box, connected from the TUI with /connect, and extends through MCP servers, plugins, agent skills and custom commands. The team also sells OpenCode Go, a subscription for open-source models, but you can use your own provider keys instead.

## Best for

- Terminal users who want provider choice
- Separating read-only planning from editing
- Using the same agent from a TUI, desktop app or web UI

## Use it when

You want an MIT-licensed coding agent that works with many model providers and offers a TUI, a desktop app and a local web interface.

## Skip it if

You install CLI tools through Windows package managers, which OpenCode 2 does not support; also note OpenCode 1 and 2 cannot be installed side by side under the default command.

## Editor note

Repo moved from sst/opencode to anomalyco/opencode; OpenCode 2 is now out and uses the same opencode command as OpenCode 1.

## Install

Install OpenCode 2 with npm:

```sh
npm install -g @opencode/cli
```
