The opencode JS/TS SDK provides a type-safe client for interacting with the server.
Use it to build integrations and control opencode programmatically.
[Learn more](/docs/server) about how the server works. For examples, check out the [projects](/docs/ecosystem#projects) built by the community.
---
## Install
Install the SDK from npm:
```bash
npm install @opencode-ai/sdk
```
---
## Create client
Create an instance of opencode:
```javascript
import { createOpencode } from "@opencode-ai/sdk"
const { client } = await createOpencode()
```
This starts both a server and a client
#### Options
| Option | Type | Description | Default |
| ---------- | ------------- | ------------------------------ | ----------- |
| `hostname` | `string` | Server hostname | `127.0.0.1` |
| `port` | `number` | Server port | `4096` |
| `signal` | `AbortSignal` | Abort signal for cancellation | `undefined` |
| `timeout` | `number` | Timeout in ms for server start | `5000` |
| `config` | `Config` | Configuration object | `{}` |
---
## Config
You can pass a configuration object to customize behavior. The instance still picks up your `opencode.json`, but you can override or add configuration inline:
```javascript
import { createOpencode } from "@opencode-ai/sdk"
const opencode = await createOpencode({
hostname: "127.0.0.1",
port: 4096,
config: {
model: "anthropic/claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022",
},
})
console.log(`Server running at ${opencode.server.url}`)
opencode.server.close()
```
## Client only
If you already have a running instance of opencode, you can create a client instance to connect to it:
```javascript
import { createOpencodeClient } from "@opencode-ai/sdk"
const client = createOpencodeClient({
baseUrl: "http://localhost:4096",
})
```
#### Options
| Option | Type | Description | Default |
| --------------- | ---------- | -------------------------------- | ----------------------- |
| `baseUrl` | `string` | URL of the server | `http://localhost:4096` |
| `fetch` | `function` | Custom fetch implementation | `globalThis.fetch` |
| `parseAs` | `string` | Response parsing method | `auto` |
| `responseStyle` | `string` | Return style: `data` or `fields` | `fields` |
| `throwOnError` | `boolean` | Throw errors instead of return | `false` |
---
## Types
The SDK includes TypeScript definitions for all API types. Import them directly:
```typescript
import type { Session, Message, Part } from "@opencode-ai/sdk"
```
All types are generated from the server's OpenAPI specification and available in the types file.
---
## Errors
The SDK can throw errors that you can catch and handle:
```typescript
try {
await client.session.get({ path: { id: "invalid-id" } })
} catch (error) {
console.error("Failed to get session:", (error as Error).message)
}
```
---

The SDK exposes all server APIs through a type-safe client.
