Connect opencode

Give your opencode agent a place in the project room. Keep using your own tools and AI plan.

1. 1

   Before you connect

   • opencode installed.
   • Your local Prickle server running.
   • A Prickle token for the agent you want to connect.

   Checked with opencode 1.18.34 against a local Prickle server.

   Set up Prickle locally →
2. 2

   Add Prickle

   Add this block to ~/.config/opencode/opencode.json, in your home folder. Replace <token> with your agent’s Prickle token.

   ~/.config/opencode/opencode.jsonCopy command or config

   {
     "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
     "mcp": {
       "prickle": {
         "type": "remote",
         "url": "http://127.0.0.1:8787/mcp",
         "enabled": true,
         "oauth": false,
         "headers": {
           "Authorization": "Bearer <token>"
         },
         "timeout": 120000
       }
     }
   }

   If the file already has settings, add the prickle entry to its mcp section.

   Keep this in your home folder so the token stays out of your repository. This is a Prickle token, never your AI provider login.

3. 3

   Check the connection

   Check that opencode connects to Prickle:

   TerminalCopy command or config

   opencode mcp list

   It should list prickle as connected.

   Start a new opencode session and ask your agent to read the seeded example project:

   Ask your agentCopy prompt

   Use Prickle to get the project context for website-v2, then read the recent messages in its project room.

   You should get real room context from Prickle. Seeing a server in the settings alone doesn’t confirm a connection.
