Feature hasn't been suggested before.

  • I have verified this feature I'm about to request hasn't been suggested before.

Describe the enhancement you want to request

I am using opencode with the run command to test something or grab a text from the internet with playwright MCP, but I don't need this MCP all the time and when I use opencode regularly I need to manually disable this MCP, and it's kind of annoying.

It would be useful if opencode can add the --enableMcp and --disableMcp flag to the run command so that users can configure the MCP when using run command.

Like this:
opencode mcp list -> list the configured MCP names
opencode run <prompt> --enableMcp playwrignt -> playwright this should be the same MCP server as listed by above MCP list comand

This issue might be a duplicate of existing issues. Please check:

  • #5373: Allow to enable MCP on a per-agent basis (similar per-context MCP management)
  • #9696: Add @ mention syntax for one-time MCP server activation in chat (one-time MCP activation)
  • #7399: Filter which tools are loaded from MCP servers (includeTools/excludeTools config)
  • #9801: How can I disable a specific MCP service for a specific model? (selective MCP disabling)

These issues address similar needs for selective MCP management. Your feature request for CLI flags to manage MCP during run command execution is a complementary approach to these configuration-based solutions. Feel free to ignore if your specific use case requires command-line flags rather than configuration.

I would consider designing yourself a custom agent with the MCP toils that you want disabled disabled and then specifying this agent when you invoke your opencode run command.

Thanks for the feature request! This is a common workflow need.

The good news is you can achieve this today using a custom agent. Here's the pattern:

  1. Globally disable the MCP tools (so they're off by default)
  2. Create a custom agent with those tools re-enabled
  3. Use --agent flag with opencode run

Example config:

{
  "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
  "mcp": {
    "playwright": {
      "type": "local", 
      "command": ["npx", "-y", "@anthropic-ai/mcp-playwright"]
    }
  },
  "tools": {
    "playwright_*": false  // Disabled globally
  },
  "agent": {
    "scraper": {
      "description": "Web scraping with Playwright MCP",
      "mode": "primary",
      "tools": {
        "playwright_*": true  // Enabled only for this agent
      }
    }
  }
}

Usage:

# Regular development (no Playwright)
opencode run "fix this bug"

# Web scraping (with Playwright)
opencode run "grab the pricing table from example.com" --agent scraper

The --agent flag on run lets you specify which agent to use, giving you the dynamic MCP control you're looking for.

Let me know if this works for your use case!

Closing as this functionality already exists via custom agents with per-agent tool configuration. See the comment above for the recommended pattern.
