ACP Support

Use OpenCode in any ACP-compatible editor.

OpenCode supports the Agent Client Protocol or (ACP), allowing you to use it directly in compatible editors and IDEs.

ACP is an open protocol that standardizes communication between code editors and AI coding agents.

Configure

To use OpenCode via ACP, configure your editor to run the opencode acp command.

The command starts OpenCode as an ACP-compatible subprocess that communicates with your editor over JSON-RPC via stdio.

Below are examples for popular editors that support ACP.

Zed

Add to your Zed configuration (~/.config/zed/settings.json):

{
  "agent_servers": {
    "OpenCode": {
      "command": "opencode",
      "args": ["acp"]
    }
  }
}

To open it, use the agent: new thread action in the Command Palette.

You can also bind a keyboard shortcut by editing your keymap.json:

[
  {
    "bindings": {
      "cmd-alt-o": ["agent::NewExternalAgentThread", { "agent": "OpenCode" }]
    }
  }
]

Avante.nvim

Add to your Avante.nvim configuration:

{
  acp_providers = {
    ["opencode"] = {
      command = "opencode",
      args = { "acp" }
    }
  }
}

If you need to pass environment variables:

{
  acp_providers = {
    ["opencode"] = {
      command = "opencode",
      args = { "acp" },
      env = {
        OPENCODE_API_KEY = os.getenv("OPENCODE_API_KEY")
      }
    }
  }
}

Support

OpenCode works the same via ACP as it does in the terminal. All features are supported:

Built-in tools (file operations, terminal commands, etc.)
Custom tools and slash commands
MCP servers configured in your OpenCode config
Project-specific rules from AGENTS.md
Custom formatters and linters
Agents and permissions system
