Providers

Using any LLM provider in opencode.

opencode uses the AI SDK and Models.dev to support for 75+ LLM providers and it supports running local models.

To add a provider you need to:

Add the API keys for the provider using opencode auth login.
Configure the provider in your opencode config.

Credentials

When you add a provider’s API keys with opencode auth login, they are stored in ~/.local/share/opencode/auth.json.

Config

You can customize the providers through the provider section in your opencode config.

Base URL

You can customize the base URL for any provider by setting the baseURL option. This is useful when using proxy services or custom endpoints.

{
  "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
  "provider": {
    "anthropic": {
      "options": {
        "baseURL": "https://api.anthropic.com/v1"
      }
    }
  }
}

Custom provider

To add any OpenAI-compatible provider that’s not listed in opencode auth login:

Run opencode auth login and scroll down to Other.

$ opencode auth login

┌  Add credential
│
◆  Select provider
│  ...
│  ● Other
└

Enter a unique ID for the provider.
Terminal window
```
$ opencode auth login

┌  Add credential
│
◇  Enter provider id
│  myprovider
└
```
Choose a memorable ID, you’ll use this in your config file.

Enter your API key for the provider.

$ opencode auth login

┌  Add credential
│
▲  This only stores a credential for myprovider - you will need configure it in opencode.json, check the docs for examples.
│
◇  Enter your API key
│  sk-...
└

Create or update your opencode.json file in your project directory:

{
  "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
  "provider": {
    "myprovider": {
      "npm": "@ai-sdk/openai-compatible",
      "name": "My AI ProviderDisplay Name",
      "options": {
        "baseURL": "https://api.myprovider.com/v1"
      },
      "models": {
        "my-model-name": {
          "name": "My Model Display Name"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Here are the configuration options:

npm: AI SDK package to use, @ai-sdk/openai-compatible for OpenAI-compatible providers
name: Display name in UI.
models: Available models.
options.baseURL: API endpoint URL.
options.apiKey: Optionally set the API key, if not using auth.
options.headers: Optionally set custom headers.

More on the advanced options in the example below.

Run the /models command and your custom provider and models will appear in the selection list.

Example

Here’s an example setting the apiKey and headers options.

{
  "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
  "provider": {
    "myprovider": {
      "npm": "@ai-sdk/openai-compatible",
      "name": "My AI ProviderDisplay Name",
      "options": {
        "baseURL": "https://api.myprovider.com/v1",
        "apiKey": "{env:ANTHROPIC_API_KEY}",
        "headers": {
          "Authorization": "Bearer custom-token"
        }
      },
      "models": {
        "my-model-name": {
          "name": "My Model Display Name"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

We are setting the apiKey using the env variable syntax, learn more.

Directory

Let’s look at some of the providers in detail. If you’d like to add a provider to the list, feel free to open a PR.

Amazon Bedrock

To use Amazon Bedrock with opencode:

Head over to the Model catalog in the Amazon Bedrock console and request access to the models you want.

You need to have access to the model you want in Amazon Bedrock.
You’ll need either to set one of the following environment variables:
- AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID: You can get this by creating an IAM user and generating an access key for it.
- AWS_PROFILE: First login through AWS IAM Identity Center (or AWS SSO) using aws sso login. Then get the name of the profile you want to use.
- AWS_BEARER_TOKEN_BEDROCK: You can generate a long-term API key from the Amazon Bedrock console.
Once you have one of the above, set it while running opencode.
Terminal window
```
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=XXX opencode
```
Or add it to a .env file in the project root.
.env
```
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=XXX
```
Or add it to your bash profile.
~/.bash_profile
```
export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=XXX
```
Run the /models command to select the model you want.

Anthropic

We recommend signing up for Claude Pro or Max, it’s the most cost-effective way to use opencode.

Once you’ve singed up, run opencode auth login and select Anthropic.

$ opencode auth login

┌  Add credential
│
◆  Select provider
│  ● Anthropic (recommended)
│  ○ OpenAI
│  ○ Google
│  ...
└

Here you can select the Claude Pro/Max option and it’ll open your browser and ask you to authenticate.

$ opencode auth login
┌  Add credential
│
◇  Select provider
│  Anthropic
│
◆  Login method
│  ● Claude Pro/Max
│  ○ Create API Key
│  ○ Manually enter API Key
└

Now all the the Anthropic models should be available when you use the /models command.

Using API keys

You can also select Create API Key if you don’t have a Pro/Max subscription. It’ll also open your browser and ask you to login to Anthropic and give you a code you can paste in your terminal.

Or if you already have an API key, you can select Manually enter API Key and paste it in your terminal.

Azure OpenAI

Head over to the Azure portal and create an Azure OpenAI resource. You’ll need:
- Resource name: This becomes part of your API endpoint (https://RESOURCE_NAME.openai.azure.com/)
- API key: Either KEY 1 or KEY 2 from your resource
Go to Azure AI Foundry and deploy a model.

The deployment name must match the model name for opencode to work properly.

Run opencode auth login and select Azure.

$ opencode auth login

┌  Add credential
│
◆  Select provider
│  ● Azure
│  ...
└

Enter your API key.

$ opencode auth login

┌  Add credential

Troubleshooting

If you are having trouble with configuring a provider, check the following:

Check the auth setup: Run opencode auth list to see if the credentials for the provider are added to your config.

This doesn’t apply to providers like Amazon Bedrock, that rely on environment variables for their auth.
For custom providers, check the opencode config and:
- Make sure the provider ID used in opencode auth login matches the ID in your opencode config.
- The right npm package is used for the provider. For example, use @ai-sdk/cerebras for Cerebras. And for all other OpenAI-compatible providers, use @ai-sdk/openai-compatible.
- Check correct API endpoint is used in the options.baseURL field.
