If you don't setup an API Provider, the global config for local providers doesn't seem to be called.

I loaded this file into ~/.config/opencode/opencode.json

{
  "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
  "model": "lmstudio/google/gemma-3n-e4b",
  "provider": {
    "lmstudio": {
      "npm": "@ai-sdk/openai-compatible",
      "name": "LM Studio (local)",
      "options": {
        "baseURL": "http://127.0.0.1:1234/v1"
      },
      "models": {
        "google/gemma-3n-e4b": {
          "name": "Gemma 3n-e4b (local)"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

But when I try to run opencode from my project directory I just get the add credential providers screen.

When I copy the same opencode.json file to my project directory and run opencode it launches correctly and connects to LM Studio.

I can confirm this issue, using the latest version and not able to use lm-studio as provider.

Did it work if you don't have that opencode.json file in your project directory, as in the opencode.json only loaded into ~/.config/opencode/opencode.json & with no API provider configured?

I got it working by copying this file to the local project directory but based on the documentation ~/.config/opencode/opencode.json should be the global setting.

omg thanks, I was faffing around for 20 minutes trying to get it to connect to my local ik_llama.cpp llama-server with no idea what was happening...

turns out i had to put the opencode.json in the same directory where i was calling opencode binary. I does not work putting opencode.json into ~/.local/share/opencode/ which is where it was putting the auth.json file on my arch linux box.

Installed with yay -Sy opencode-bin.

I was having the same issue, and the problem is that I was putting the configs on auth.json based on this link:

https://opencode.ai/docs/providers/#credentials

It's clear now that auth.json is for API keys, so I think it's a good idea to add an extra section mentioning the opencode.json file.
