Explain how MCP is wired between OpenWork, OpenCode, and the OpenWork server, and guide config or auth troubleshooting. Triggers when user mentions: - "mcp wiring" - "mcp architecture" - "mcp config"
## Quick Usage (Already Configured) ### Provide wiring overview - OpenWork UI uses the OpenCode SDK for runtime MCP calls and events. - MCP config lives in `opencode.json` under `mcp`; OpenWork server only reads/writes config for remote clients. - MCP auth tokens are managed by OpenCode and stored outside the repo. - Remote UI traffic hits the OpenWork server at `/opencode/*`, which proxies to OpenCode. - The OpenWork server must include the workspace directory (via `x-opencode-directory` or `directory` query) so OpenCode loads the correct config. ### Troubleshoot auth errors - Confirm the MCP entry type and required fields (`local` needs `command[]`, `remote` needs `url`). - If refresh tokens are invalid, re-auth via OpenCode and reload the engine after config edits. - Avoid editing token files directly; use OpenCode commands or endpoints. - If the UI says "does not support OAuth", verify the directory matches the on-disk `opencode.json` path. - In remote mode, OpenWork approval gates apply for `mcp.add` and `engine.reload` unless auto-approve is explicitly enabled. ## Common Gotchas - Engine reload only re-reads config; it does not refresh OAuth tokens. - Remote clients need OpenWork server for config writes, but MCP runtime still routes through OpenCode. - macOS can resolve temp paths as `/private/tmp/...` while config is under `/tmp/...`; normalize before calling MCP endpoints. ## First-Time Setup (If Not Configured) 1. Add the MCP entry to `opencode.json`. 2. Restart or reload the OpenCode engine. 3. Authenticate the MCP provider via OpenCode.
