How to integrate Openai MCP with OpenCode

This guide explains how to connect Openai MCP to OpenCode using Composio Connect, which simplifies OAuth, API changes, and reliability concerns.

There are two ways to set this up:

Why use Composio?

Composio provides a single MCP server or CLI tool that exposes a set of meta-tools, allowing you to:

  • Connect to 1,000+ apps with on-demand tool loading, so you do not fill your LLM context window with unnecessary tool definitions.
  • Use programmatic tool calling through a remote Bash tool, letting LLMs write their own code to handle complex tool chaining. This reduces back-and-forth for frequent tool calls.
  • Handle large tool responses outside the LLM context to keep conversations lean.

Connect Openai with OpenCode

Option 1: Using Composio CLI

1. Install Composio CLI

Install the Composio CLI, authenticate, and initialize your project:

bash
# Install the Composio CLI
curl -fsSL https://composio.dev/install | bash

# Authenticate with Composio
composio login

During login, you will be redirected to the sign-in page. Finish the flow and you are all set.

2. Authorize Openai

Once the CLI is installed, it is essentially done. Give OpenCode access to your apps with these steps:

  1. Launch OpenCode.
  2. Prompt it to "Authenticate with Openai Composio".
  3. Complete the authentication and authorization flow, and your Openai integration is all set.
  4. Start asking anything you want.

Option 2: Using Composio MCP

You can also connect Openai to OpenCode by adding Composio as an MCP server through the OpenCode CLI.

1. Add the Composio MCP server

bash
opencode mcp add

This launches an interactive prompt.

2. Fill in the fields

FieldValue
Namecomposio
Typeremote
URLhttps://connect.composio.dev/mcp
Require OAuthYes
Have client IDNo
OpenCode MCP server interactive prompt for Composio

Alternatively, you can skip the interactive prompt and paste the configuration directly into your OpenCode config file.

Open your global OpenCode config:

bash
open ~/.config/opencode/opencode.json

Add this under the mcp key and save the file.

bash
{
  "mcp": {
    "composio": {
      "type": "remote",
      "url": "https://connect.composio.dev/mcp",
      "enabled": true
    }
  }
}

3. Authenticate

Authenticate the Composio MCP server you just added:

bash
opencode mcp auth composio

This opens a browser session. Authorize Composio and you are done.

4. Verify installation

bash
opencode mcp list

5. Connect Openai with OpenCode

Now, in the chat, ask the agent to connect to Openai or give it any Openai-related task.

For example, ask it to:

  • "List all available OpenAI models"
  • "Upload a file for fine-tuning"
  • "Create a new assistant with GPT-4"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access to Openai.

That is it. Composio tools are now available in OpenCode, and your Openai account is ready to use.

Way Forward

Now that Openai is connected, extend your setup by connecting the other apps you already use every day, so your agent can run true cross-app workflows end to end.

  • Connect Calendar to turn threads into scheduled meetings automatically.
  • Connect Slack or Teams to post summaries, approvals, and alerts where your team works.
  • Connect Notion, Linear, Jira, or Asana to convert requests into tickets, tasks, and docs.
  • Connect Drive, Dropbox, or OneDrive to fetch, file, and share attachments without manual steps.

Start with one workflow you do repeatedly, then keep adding apps as you find new handoffs. With everything behind a single MCP endpoint, your agent can coordinate multiple tools safely and reliably in one conversation.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

With a standalone Openai MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Openai tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Openai and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint.

Yes, you can. OpenCode fully supports MCP integration. You get structured tool calling, message history handling, and model orchestration while Tool Router takes care of discovering and serving the right Openai tools.

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Openai scopes and actions are allowed when connecting your account to Composio. You can also bring your own OAuth credentials or API configuration so you keep full control over what the agent can do.

All sensitive data such as tokens, keys, and configuration is fully encrypted at rest and in transit. Composio is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and follows strict security practices so your Openai data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
