OpenCode
OpenCode is an open-source AI coding agent built for the terminal. It supports natural language interaction with different models, including Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google, to help programmers write, edit, debug, and refactor code in Python and other languages.
It runs as a terminal UI application and is also available as a desktop app and an IDE extension for Visual Studio Code, Cursor, and other VS Code forks. It also connects to editors, such as JetBrains, Zed, and Neovim through the Agent Client Protocol.
OpenCode integrates with Language Server Protocol (LSP) servers for deeper codebase awareness and supports Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers for extended tooling. It features a plan mode to generate implementation strategies without making changes, and a build mode to execute those changes.
