OpenCode MCP Integration Guide: Connect MCP Servers with Arcade.dev

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) enables OpenCode to trigger pipelines or interact with developer tools like Git directly from the editor but can lead to configuration and credential management challenges when adding more services. Arcade.dev offers a solution as an action runtime rather than just a routing gateway, providing OpenCode with agent-optimized tools through a single endpoint, enhanced by native OAuth for authentication and downstream token vaulting. By connecting OpenCode to Arcade, developers can streamline tool execution and reduce credential exposure, as Arcade handles token lifecycle management and execution logs, while maintaining user-bound gateway sessions. This setup improves reliability over native MCP configurations by keeping service credentials separate from the editor and reducing the complexity of tool calls. The guide explains how to configure OpenCode with Arcade, emphasizing the advantages of using OAuth-backed sessions to manage downstream service authentication and execution.
