OpenCode

Connect OpenCode to PowerMem through OpenCode's MCP support.

OpenCode MCP references:

• OpenCode MCP servers
• OpenCode config

Recommended setup — let your MCP client agent set it up

First download the code and enter the directory:

git clone https://github.com/oceanbase/powermem
cd powermem

Then open the AI agent window in OpenCode and paste this one line:

Read and follow apps/mcp-client/SETUP.md to setup PowerMem

The agent follows apps/mcp-client/SETUP.md, runs powermem-mcp directly, and configures only the current OpenCode setup.

Prerequisites

• OpenCode installed.
• A PowerMem backend:
  • Preferred for PowerMem UI/API features: powermem-server --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8848
  • Preferred for OpenCode MCP tools: powermem-mcp stdio or powermem-mcp streamable-http 8848
• PowerMem configured with your LLM provider, API key, and model.

Install powermem[server] for the HTTP API server and MCP runtime dependencies, and add seekdb when using the default embedded seekdb storage/embedder.

Manual setup

Use this section only when you want to wire OpenCode by hand.

Choose a config scope

OpenCode reads MCP config from opencode.json. Common locations are:

Scope	File
Global user config	~/.config/opencode/opencode.json
Project config	opencode.json
Project-local config	.opencode/opencode.json

Use global config for a personal PowerMem setup. Use project config only when the team wants to share the MCP server definition.

Local stdio MCP

For local use, add PowerMem under the mcp object:

{
  "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
  "mcp": {
    "powermem": {
      "type": "local",
      "command": ["powermem-mcp", "stdio"],
      "enabled": true
    }
  }
}

If your PowerMem server requires auth, pass environment variables:

{
  "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
  "mcp": {
    "powermem": {
      "type": "local",
      "command": ["powermem-mcp", "stdio"],
      "enabled": true,
      "environment": {
        "POWERMEM_API_KEY": "<your-api-key>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Remote MCP

Start a streamable HTTP MCP endpoint:

powermem-mcp streamable-http 8848

Then configure OpenCode:

{
  "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
  "mcp": {
    "powermem": {
      "type": "remote",
      "url": "http://localhost:8848/mcp",
      "enabled": true
    }
  }
}

If you expose PowerMem MCP behind a remote URL, replace http://localhost:8848/mcp with that URL and add headers if required.

Verify

1. Restart OpenCode or reload MCP servers.
2. Confirm powermem is listed as an enabled MCP server.
3. Confirm tools such as add_memory, search_memories, get_memory_by_id, update_memory, delete_memory, delete_all_memories, and list_memories are visible.
4. Add a memory containing PowerMem OpenCode probe: dragonfruit-zx9.
5. Search for dragonfruit-zx9 and confirm the result is returned.

Troubleshooting

• If local MCP fails, run powermem-mcp stdio in a terminal and fix missing dependencies or .env values.
• If remote MCP fails, verify powermem-mcp streamable-http 8848 is running and that http://localhost:8848/mcp is reachable from OpenCode.
• If tools time out, check PowerMem server logs and consider increasing the OpenCode MCP timeout.
• If auth fails, set POWERMEM_API_KEY for local MCP or configure remote MCP headers.

Uninstall

Remove the mcp.powermem entry from the OpenCode config file you edited, then restart OpenCode or reload MCP servers. For agent-guided cleanup, follow apps/mcp-client/UNINSTALL.md.
