title: Providers
description: Using any LLM provider in OpenCode.
---

import config from "../../../config.mjs"
export const console = config.console

OpenCode uses the [AI SDK](https://ai-sdk.dev/) and [Models.dev](https://models.dev) to support **75+ LLM providers** and it supports running local models.

To add a provider you need to:

1. Add the API keys for the provider using the `/connect` command.
2. Configure the provider in your OpenCode config.

---

### Credentials

When you add a provider's API keys with the `/connect` command, 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.

```json title="opencode.json" {6}
{
  "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
  "provider": {
    "anthropic": {
      "options": {
        "baseURL": "https://api.anthropic.com/v1"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

### Amazon Bedrock

To use Amazon Bedrock with OpenCode:

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

   :::tip
   You need to have access to the model you want in Amazon Bedrock.
   :::

2. **Configure authentication** using one of the following methods:

   ***

   #### Environment Variables (Quick Start)

   Set one of these environment variables while running opencode:

   ```bash
   # Option 1: Using AWS access keys
   AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=XXX AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=YYY opencode

   # Option 2: Using named AWS profile
   AWS_PROFILE=my-profile opencode

   # Option 3: Using Bedrock bearer token
   AWS_BEARER_TOKEN_BEDROCK=XXX opencode
   ```

   Or add them to your bash profile:

   ```bash title="~/.bash_profile"
   export AWS_PROFILE=my-dev-profile
   export AWS_REGION=us-east-1
   ```

   ***

   #### Configuration File (Recommended)

   For project-specific or persistent configuration, use `opencode.json`:

   ```json title="opencode.json"
   {
     "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
     "provider": {
       "amazon-bedrock": {
         "options": {
           "region": "us-east-1",
           "profile": "my-aws-profile"
         }
       }
     }
   }
   ```

   **Available options:**
   - `region` - AWS region (e.g., `us-east-1`, `eu-west-1`)
   - `profile` - AWS named profile from `~/.aws/credentials`
   - `endpoint` - Custom endpoint URL for VPC endpoints (alias for generic `baseURL` option)

   :::tip
   Configuration file options take precedence over environment variables.
   :::

   ***

   #### Advanced: VPC Endpoints

   If you're using VPC endpoints for Bedrock:

   ```json title="opencode.json"
   {
     "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
     "provider": {
       "amazon-bedrock": {
         "options": {
           "region": "us-east-1",
           "profile": "production",
           "endpoint": "https://bedrock-runtime.us-east-1.vpce-xxxxx.amazonaws.com"
         }
       }
     }
   }
   ```

   :::note
   The `endpoint` option is an alias for the generic `baseURL` option, using AWS-specific terminology. If both `endpoint` and `baseURL` are specified, `endpoint` takes precedence.
   :::

   ***

   #### Authentication Methods
   - **`AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID` / `AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY`**: Create an IAM user and generate access keys in the AWS Console
   - **`AWS_PROFILE`**: Use named profiles from `~/.aws/credentials`. First configure with `aws configure --profile my-profile` or `aws sso login`
   - **`AWS_BEARER_TOKEN_BEDROCK`**: Generate long-term API keys from the Amazon Bedrock console
   - **`AWS_WEB_IDENTITY_TOKEN_FILE` / `AWS_ROLE_ARN`**: For EKS IRSA (IAM Roles for Service Accounts) or other Kubernetes environments with OIDC federation. These environment variables are automatically injected by Kubernetes when using service account annotations.

   ***

   #### Authentication Precedence

   Amazon Bedrock uses the following authentication priority:
   1. **Bearer Token** - `AWS_BEARER_TOKEN_BEDROCK` environment variable or token from `/connect` command
   2. **AWS Credential Chain** - Profile, access keys, shared credentials, IAM roles, Web Identity Tokens (EKS IRSA), instance metadata

   :::note
   When a bearer token is set (via `/connect` or `AWS_BEARER_TOKEN_BEDROCK`), it takes precedence over all AWS credential methods including configured profiles.
   :::

3. Run the `/models` command to select the model you want.

   ```txt
   /models
   ```

:::note
For custom inference profiles, use the model and provider name in the key and set the `id` property to the arn. This ensures correct caching.
:::

```json title="opencode.json"
{
  "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
  "provider": {
    "amazon-bedrock": {
      // ...
      "models": {
        "anthropic-claude-sonnet-4.5": {
          "id": "arn:aws:bedrock:us-east-1:xxx:application-inference-profile/yyy"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
```

### Anthropic

1. Once you've signed up, run the `/connect` command and select Anthropic.

   ```txt
   /connect
   ```

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

   ```txt
   ┌ Select auth method
   │
   │ Manually enter API Key
   └
   ```

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

   ```txt
   /models
   ```

:::info
There are plugins that allow you to use your Claude Pro/Max models with
OpenCode. Anthropic explicitly prohibits this.

Previous versions of OpenCode came bundled with these plugins but that is no
longer the case as of 1.3.0

Other companies support freedom of choice with developer tooling - you can use
the following subscriptions in OpenCode with zero setup:

- ChatGPT Plus
- Github Copilot
- Gitlab Duo

### GitLab Duo

:::caution[Experimental]
GitLab Duo support in OpenCode is experimental. Features, configuration, and
behavior may change in future releases.
:::

OpenCode integrates with the [GitLab Duo Agent Platform](https://docs.gitlab.com/user/duo_agent_platform/),
providing AI-powered agentic chat with native tool calling capabilities.

:::note[License requirements]
GitLab Duo Agent Platform requires a **Premium** or **Ultimate** GitLab
subscription. It is available on GitLab.com and GitLab Self-Managed.
See [GitLab Duo Agent Platform prerequisites](https://docs.gitlab.com/user/duo_agent_platform/#prerequisites)
for full requirements.
:::

1. Run the `/connect` command and select GitLab.

   ```txt
   /connect
   ```

2. Choose your authentication method:

   ```txt
   ┌ Select auth method
   │
   │ OAuth (Recommended)
   │ Personal Access Token
   └
   ```

   #### Using OAuth (Recommended)

   Select **OAuth** and your browser will open for authorization.

   #### Using Personal Access Token
   1. Go to [GitLab User Settings > Access Tokens](https://gitlab.com/-/user_settings/personal_access_tokens)
   2. Click **Add new token**
   3. Name: `OpenCode`, Scopes: `api`
   4. Copy the token (starts with `glpat-`)
   5. Enter it in the terminal

3. Run the `/models` command to see available models.

   ```txt
   /models
   ```

   Three Claude-based models are available:
   - **duo-chat-haiku-4-5** (Default) - Fast responses for quick tasks
   - **duo-chat-sonnet-4-5** - Balanced performance for most workflows
   - **duo-chat-opus-4-5** - Most capable for complex analysis

:::note
You can also specify 'GITLAB_TOKEN' environment variable if you don't want
to store token in opencode auth storage.
:::

##### Self-Hosted GitLab

:::note[compliance note]
OpenCode uses a small model for some AI tasks like generating the session title.
It is configured to use gpt-5-nano by default, hosted by Zen. To lock OpenCode
to only use your own GitLab-hosted instance, add the following to your
`opencode.json` file. It is also recommended to disable session sharing.

```json
{
  "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
  "small_model": "gitlab/duo-chat-haiku-4-5",
  "share": "disabled"
}
```

:::

For self-hosted GitLab instances:

```bash
export GITLAB_INSTANCE_URL=https://gitlab.company.com
export GITLAB_TOKEN=glpat-...
```

If your instance runs a custom AI Gateway:

```bash
GITLAB_AI_GATEWAY_URL=https://ai-gateway.company.com
```

Or add to your bash profile:

```bash title="~/.bash_profile"
export GITLAB_INSTANCE_URL=https://gitlab.company.com
export GITLAB_AI_GATEWAY_URL=https://ai-gateway.company.com
export GITLAB_TOKEN=glpat-...
```

:::note
Your GitLab administrator must:

1. [Turn on GitLab Duo](https://docs.gitlab.com/user/duo_agent_platform/turn_on_off/#turn-gitlab-duo-on-or-off)
   for the user, group, or instance
2. [Turn on the Agent Platform](https://docs.gitlab.com/user/duo_agent_platform/turn_on_off/#turn-gitlab-duo-agent-platform-on-or-off)
   (GitLab 18.8+) or [enable beta and experimental features](https://docs.gitlab.com/user/duo_agent_platform/turn_on_off/#turn-on-beta-and-experimental-features)
   (GitLab 18.7 and earlier)
3. For Self-Managed, [configure your instance](https://docs.gitlab.com/administration/gitlab_duo/configure/gitlab_self_managed/)
   :::

##### OAuth for Self-Hosted instances

In order to make Oauth working for your self-hosted instance, you need to create
a new application (Settings → Applications) with the
callback URL `http://127.0.0.1:8080/callback` and following scopes:

- api (Access the API on your behalf)
- read_user (Read your personal information)
- read_repository (Allows read-only access to the repository)

Then expose application ID as environment variable:

```bash
export GITLAB_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID=your_application_id_here
```

More documentation on [opencode-gitlab-auth](https://www.npmjs.com/package/opencode-gitlab-auth) homepage.

##### Configuration

Customize through `opencode.json`:

```json title="opencode.json"
{
  "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
  "provider": {
    "gitlab": {
      "options": {
        "instanceUrl": "https://gitlab.com"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

##### GitLab Duo Agent Platform (DAP) Workflow Models

DAP workflow models provide an alternative execution path that routes tool calls
through GitLab's Duo Workflow Service (DWS) instead of the standard agentic chat.
When a `duo-workflow-*` model is selected, OpenCode will:

1. Discover available models from your GitLab namespace
2. Present a selection picker if multiple models are available
3. Cache the selected model to disk for fast subsequent startups
4. Route tool execution requests through OpenCode's permission-gated tool system

Available DAP workflow models follow the `duo-workflow-*` naming convention and
are dynamically discovered from your GitLab instance.

##### GitLab API Tools (Optional, but highly recommended)

To access GitLab tools (merge requests, issues, pipelines, CI/CD, etc.):

```json title="opencode.json"
{
  "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
  "plugin": ["opencode-gitlab-plugin"]
}
```

This plugin provides comprehensive GitLab repository management capabilities including MR reviews, issue tracking, pipeline monitoring, and more.

For more providers and advanced features like caching and rate limiting, check the [Helicone documentation](https://docs.helicone.ai).

#### Optional Configs

In the event you see a feature or model from Helicone that isn't configured automatically through opencode, you can always configure it yourself.

Here's [Helicone's Model Directory](https://helicone.ai/models), you'll need this to grab the IDs of the models you want to add.

```jsonc title="~/.config/opencode/opencode.jsonc"
{
  "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
  "provider": {
    "helicone": {
      "npm": "@ai-sdk/openai-compatible",
      "name": "Helicone",
      "options": {
        "baseURL": "https://ai-gateway.helicone.ai",
      },
      "models": {
        "gpt-4o": {
          // Model ID (from Helicone's model directory page)
          "name": "GPT-4o", // Your own custom name for the model
        },
        "claude-sonnet-4-20250514": {
          "name": "Claude Sonnet 4",
        },
      },
    },
  },
}
```

#### Custom Headers

Helicone supports custom headers for features like caching, user tracking, and session management. Add them to your provider config using `options.headers`:

```jsonc title="~/.config/opencode/opencode.jsonc"
{
  "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
  "provider": {
    "helicone": {
      "npm": "@ai-sdk/openai-compatible",
      "name": "Helicone",
      "options": {
        "baseURL": "https://ai-gateway.helicone.ai",
        "headers": {
          "Helicone-Cache-Enabled": "true",
          "Helicone-User-Id": "opencode",
        },
      },
    },
  },
}
```

##### Session tracking

Helicone's [Sessions](https://docs.helicone.ai/features/sessions) feature lets you group related LLM requests together. Use the [opencode-helicone-session](https://github.com/H2Shami/opencode-helicone-session) plugin to automatically log each OpenCode conversation as a session in Helicone.

```bash
npm install -g opencode-helicone-session
```

Add it to your config.

```json title="opencode.json"
{
  "plugin": ["opencode-helicone-session"]
}
```

The plugin injects `Helicone-Session-Id` and `Helicone-Session-Name` headers into your requests. In Helicone's Sessions page, you'll see each OpenCode conversation listed as a separate session.

##### Common Helicone headers

| Header                     | Description                                                   |
| -------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `Helicone-Cache-Enabled`   | Enable response caching (`true`/`false`)                      |
| `Helicone-User-Id`         | Track metrics by user                                         |
| `Helicone-Property-[Name]` | Add custom properties (e.g., `Helicone-Property-Environment`) |
| `Helicone-Prompt-Id`       | Associate requests with prompt versions                       |

See the [Helicone Header Directory](https://docs.helicone.ai/helicone-headers/header-directory) for all available headers.

           "somecoolnewmodel": {}
         }
       }
     }
   }
   ```

## Custom provider

To add any **OpenAI-compatible** provider that's not listed in the `/connect` command:

:::tip
You can use any OpenAI-compatible provider with opencode. Most modern AI providers offer OpenAI-compatible APIs.
:::

1. Run the `/connect` command and scroll down to **Other**.

   ```bash
   $ /connect

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

2. Enter a unique ID for the provider.

   ```bash
   $ /connect

   ┌  Add credential
   │
   ◇  Enter provider id
   │  myprovider
   └
   ```

   :::note
   Choose a memorable ID, you'll use this in your config file.
   :::

3. Enter your API key for the provider.

   ```bash
   $ /connect

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

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

   ```json title="opencode.json" ""myprovider"" {5-15}
   {
     "$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 (for `/v1/chat/completions`). If your provider/model uses `/v1/responses`, use `@ai-sdk/openai`.
   - **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.

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

---

##### Example

Here's an example setting the `apiKey`, `headers`, and model `limit` options.

```json title="opencode.json" {9,11,17-20}
{
  "$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",
          "limit": {
            "context": 200000,
            "output": 65536
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
```

Configuration details:

- **apiKey**: Set using `env` variable syntax, [learn more](/docs/config#env-vars).
- **headers**: Custom headers sent with each request.
- **limit.context**: Maximum input tokens the model accepts.
- **limit.output**: Maximum tokens the model can generate.

The `limit` fields allow OpenCode to understand how much context you have left. Standard providers pull these from models.dev automatically.

## Troubleshooting

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

1. **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.

2. For custom providers, check the opencode config and:
   - Make sure the provider ID used in the `/connect` command 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` (for `/v1/chat/completions`); if a model uses `/v1/responses`, use `@ai-sdk/openai`. For mixed setups under one provider, you can override per model via `provider.npm`.
   - Check correct API endpoint is used in the `options.baseURL` field.
