Opencode Desktop Integration Guide

Overview

Integrate CreateOS with Opencode Desktop using the MCP (Model Context Protocol) to enable AI-powered deployment workflows directly from your development environment.


Prerequisites

  • Active Opencode Desktop installation
  • CreateOS account with API key access
  • Project directory set up in Opencode

Setup Instructions

Step 1: Open Your Project

  1. Launch Opencode Desktop
  2. Select or open your project directory

Step 2: Create Configuration File

  1. In your project root directory, create a new file named opencode.json
  2. The file path should be: <project-directory>/opencode.json

Step 3: Configure Connection Settings

Paste the following configuration into your opencode.json file:

1{
2 "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
3 "mcp": {
4 "createos": {
5 "type": "remote",
6 "url": "https://api-createos.nodeops.network/mcp",
7 "headers": {
8 "X-Api-Key": "CREATEOS_API_KEY"
9 }
10 }
11 }
12}

Getting Your API Key:

  1. Log in to CreateOS
  2. Navigate to Profile Settings
  3. Copy your API key from the API Key section

Security Note: Keep your API key confidential and never share it publicly.

Replace "CREATEOS_API_KEY" with your actual CreateOS API key in the configuration.

Step 4: Apply Configuration

  1. Save the opencode.json file
  2. Restart Opencode Desktop to apply the configuration changes
    Opencode1

Step 5: Verify Connection

  1. After restarting, you should see the MCP connection indicator in Opencode
  2. Click on the MCP connection indicator
  3. Verify that "createos" is shown as enabled
    Opencode2

Troubleshooting

If the server doesn't appear as connected, confirm:

  • opencode.json file is in the correct project root directory
  • JSON syntax is valid (no trailing commas or formatting errors)
  • API key is active and has proper permissions
  • Opencode Desktop was fully restarted

Next Steps

Once connected, you can:

  • Use AI prompts to deploy services directly from Opencode
  • Access CreateOS infrastructure through the MCP interface
  • Manage deployments without leaving your development environment
