Expose OpenCode through A2A.

opencode-a2a adds an A2A runtime layer to opencode serve, with auth, streaming, session continuity, interrupt handling, and a clear deployment boundary.

What This Is

  • An A2A adapter service built on opencode serve, with inbound runtime exposure plus outbound peer calling.
  • It supports both roles in one process: serving as an A2A Server and hosting an embedded A2A Client for a2a_call.

Quick Start

Install the released CLI with uv tool:

uv tool install opencode-a2a

Upgrade later with:

uv tool upgrade opencode-a2a

Make sure provider credentials and a default model are configured on the OpenCode side, then start OpenCode:

opencode auth login
opencode models
opencode serve --hostname 127.0.0.1 --port 4096

Treat the deployed OpenCode user's HOME/XDG config directories as part of the runtime state. If a packaged or service-managed deployment appears to ignore fresh provider env vars, inspect that user's persisted OpenCode auth/config files before assuming the A2A adapter layer is overriding credentials.

Then start opencode-a2a against that upstream:

DEMO_BEARER_TOKEN="$(python3 -c 'import secrets; print(secrets.token_hex(24))')"
A2A_STATIC_AUTH_CREDENTIALS='[{"scheme":"bearer","token":"'"${DEMO_BEARER_TOKEN}"'","principal":"automation"}]' \
OPENCODE_BASE_URL=http://127.0.0.1:4096 \
A2A_TASK_STORE_DATABASE_URL=sqlite+aiosqlite:///./opencode-a2a.db \
A2A_HOST=127.0.0.1 \
A2A_PORT=8000 \
A2A_PUBLIC_URL=http://127.0.0.1:8000 \
OPENCODE_WORKSPACE_ROOT=/abs/path/to/workspace \
opencode-a2a serve

Verify that the service is up:

curl http://127.0.0.1:8000/.well-known/agent-card.json

Capabilities

  • A2A HTTP+JSON endpoints such as /v1/message:send and /v1/message:stream
  • A2A JSON-RPC support on POST /
  • SDK-owned A2A task surfaces such as GET /v1/tasks, task push notification config routes, JSON-RPC GetExtendedAgentCard, and HTTP GET /extendedAgentCard
  • Peering capabilities: can act as a client via opencode-a2a call
  • Autonomous tool execution: supports a2a_call tool for outbound agent-to-agent communication
  • SSE streaming with normalized text, reasoning, and tool_call blocks
  • Session continuity through metadata.shared.session.id
  • Request-scoped model selection through metadata.shared.model
  • OpenCode-oriented JSON-RPC extensions for session and model/provider queries

A2A Protocol Support

  • Supported A2A protocol line: 1.0
  • The runtime is now v1-only across HTTP+JSON, JSON-RPC, Agent Card discovery, and protocol-aware error contracts.
  • Legacy 0.3 method aliases and payload shapes are rejected instead of being normalized at runtime.
  • The detailed runtime contract and machine-readable support boundary are documented in docs/guide.md and docs/compatibility.md.

Peering Node / Outbound Access

opencode-a2a supports a "Peering Node" architecture where a single process handles both inbound (Server) and outbound (Client) A2A traffic.

CLI Client

Interact with other A2A agents directly from the command line:

# Using the target peer agent's Bearer token via environment injection
A2A_CLIENT_BEARER_TOKEN=your-outbound-token \
opencode-a2a call http://other-agent:8000/.well-known/agent-card.json "How are you?"

# Using the target peer agent's Basic auth via environment injection
# Accepts raw user:pass or its base64-encoded value
A2A_CLIENT_BASIC_AUTH="user:pass" \
opencode-a2a call http://other-agent:8000/.well-known/agent-card.json "How are you?"

Outbound Agent Calls (Tools)

The server can autonomously execute a2a_call(url, message) tool calls emitted by the OpenCode runtime. Results are fetched via A2A and returned to the model as tool results, enabling multi-agent orchestration.

When the target peer agent requires bearer auth, configure A2A_CLIENT_BEARER_TOKEN for server-side outbound calls. When the target peer agent requires Basic auth, use A2A_CLIENT_BASIC_AUTH. These outbound credentials apply to the peer specified by opencode-a2a call or a2a_call(url, message), not to this service's inbound A2A_STATIC_AUTH_CREDENTIALS. The CLI intentionally reads outbound credentials from environment variables only, so secrets do not appear in shell history or process arguments.

Server-side outbound client settings are fully wired through runtime config: A2A_CLIENT_TIMEOUT_SECONDS, A2A_CLIENT_CARD_FETCH_TIMEOUT_SECONDS, A2A_CLIENT_USE_CLIENT_PREFERENCE, A2A_CLIENT_BEARER_TOKEN, A2A_CLIENT_BASIC_AUTH, and A2A_CLIENT_SUPPORTED_TRANSPORTS.

Detailed protocol contracts, examples, and extension docs live in docs/guide.md.

When To Use It

Use this project when:

  • you want to keep OpenCode as the runtime
  • you need A2A transports and Agent Card discovery
  • you want a thin service boundary instead of building your own adapter

Look elsewhere if:

  • you need hard multi-tenant isolation inside one shared runtime
  • you want this project to manage your process supervisor or host bootstrap
  • you want a general client integration layer rather than a server wrapper

For client-side integration, prefer a2a-client-hub.

Deployment Boundary

This repository improves the service boundary around OpenCode, but it does not turn OpenCode into a hardened multi-tenant platform.

  • A2A_STATIC_AUTH_CREDENTIALS protects the A2A surface.
  • Provider auth and default model configuration remain on the OpenCode side; deployment-time precedence details and HOME/XDG state impact are documented in docs/guide.md.
  • Use A2A_CLIENT_BEARER_TOKEN for server-side outbound peer calls initiated by a2a_call.
  • Deployment supervision is intentionally BYO. Use systemd, Docker, Kubernetes, or another supervisor if you need long-running operation.
  • For mutually untrusted tenants, run separate instance pairs with isolated users, containers, workspaces, credentials, and ports.
