title: "Client"
description: "Connect an application to the OpenCode HTTP API."
---
`@opencode-ai/client` is the generated TypeScript client for the OpenCode HTTP
API. Use it when your application connects to an OpenCode server over the
network. Its types and methods are generated from the same contract as the
[API reference](/api).
<Warning>
The V2 API and client are beta. Method names, inputs, and outputs may change
before the stable release.
</Warning>
## Install
```sh
bun add @opencode-ai/client@next
```
## Create a client
Create a client with the server URL, then call methods grouped by API resource:
```ts
import { OpenCode } from "@opencode-ai/client"
const client = OpenCode.make({
baseUrl: "http://localhost:4096",
})
const session = await client.session.create({
location: { directory: "/workspace" },
})
await client.session.prompt({
sessionID: session.id,
text: "Review the current changes",
})
```
## Headers and requests
Pass default authentication or application headers to `OpenCode.make` with
`headers`. You can also supply a custom `fetch` implementation. Each operation
accepts request options as its final argument for an `AbortSignal` or
per-request headers.
```ts
const client = OpenCode.make({
baseUrl: "https://opencode.example.com",
headers: {
authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.OPENCODE_TOKEN}`,
},
})
await client.session.list(undefined, {
signal: AbortSignal.timeout(10_000),
})
```
## Stream events
Streaming endpoints return async iterables:
```ts
for await (const event of client.event.subscribe()) {
console.log(event.type)
}
```
## Effect
OpenCode provides a first-class Effect client through the
`@opencode-ai/client/effect` entrypoint. It returns typed Effects and Streams
and decodes responses into OpenCode schema values.
```sh
bun add @opencode-ai/client@next effect
```
### Create a client
```ts
import { AbsolutePath, Location, OpenCode } from "@opencode-ai/client/effect"
import { Effect } from "effect"
import { FetchHttpClient } from "effect/unstable/http"
const program = Effect.gen(function* () {
const client = yield* OpenCode.make({ baseUrl: "http://localhost:4096" })
const session = yield* client.session.create({
location: Location.Ref.make({
directory: AbsolutePath.make("/workspace"),
}),
})
return yield* client.session.get({ sessionID: session.id })
})
const session = await Effect.runPromise(
program.pipe(Effect.provide(FetchHttpClient.layer)),
)
```
Streaming operations, including `client.event.subscribe()` and
`client.session.log(...)`, return Effect `Stream` values.
### Service
`Service` discovers and manages the local OpenCode background service from a
Node application:
- `Service.discover()` returns a healthy registered endpoint without starting
a process.
- `Service.start()` reuses a compatible service or starts one when needed.
- `Service.stop()` stops the registered service.
- `Service.headers(endpoint)` creates the authentication headers for a client.
```sh
bun add @effect/platform-node
```
```ts
import { NodeFileSystem } from "@effect/platform-node"
import { OpenCode, Service } from "@opencode-ai/client/effect"
import { Effect } from "effect"
import { FetchHttpClient } from "effect/unstable/http"
const program = Effect.gen(function* () {
const endpoint = yield* Service.start()
const client = yield* OpenCode.make({
baseUrl: endpoint.url,
headers: Service.headers(endpoint),
})
return yield* client.health.get()
})
const health = await Effect.runPromise(
program.pipe(
Effect.provide(FetchHttpClient.layer),
Effect.provide(NodeFileSystem.layer),
),
)
```
