AI agents (MCP)

opencode

Add the Helipod MCP server and skills to opencode, and run opencode on Helipod AI models.

Tested with opencode 1.19: sign-in, local and hosted server, key passed from the environment, skills, and real tool calls on both a free opencode model and a Helipod AI Gateway model.

Requirements

  • opencode, Node.js 18 or newer for the local server.
  • HELIPOD_API_KEY in your environment, see Get a key.

Add the server

Edit ~/.config/opencode/opencode.json (all projects) or opencode.json in a project:

~/.config/opencode/opencode.json
{
  "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
  "mcp": {
    "helipod": { "type": "remote", "url": "https://api.helipod.io/mcp" }
  }
}

Then sign in:

opencode mcp auth helipod

Sign in to Helipod in the browser, choose the products and reach, and Allow. opencode mcp list then shows ✓ helipod connected.

Add the skills

npx skills add helipodapp/mcp -g -a opencode

Check it works

  • opencode mcp list shows ✓ helipod connected.
  • opencode run "List my Helipod projects" calls helipod_list_projects (opencode prefixes tools with the server name).

Run opencode on Helipod AI models

Add the Helipod AI Gateway as a provider and pick its models with /models. See Coding tools → opencode.
