Closes the runtime-side gap of #2106: previously `agent.mcp_config` was honored only by Claude Code (via `--mcp-config <file>`); for OpenCode the field was accepted by the API but silently ignored at execution time. ## Approach OpenCode has no `--mcp-config` flag. Project the agent's `mcp_config` into OpenCode via OPENCODE_CONFIG_CONTENT — OpenCode's general inline-config injection environment variable, which accepts any subset of OpenCode's config schema (model / agent / mode / plugin / mcp / …) and merges at "local" scope after the project-config loop. MCP is the only field this PR projects through that channel; if a future Multica field needs the same channel it would assemble a combined config slice before the env append. The env-var route was deliberate. An earlier draft of this PR wrote the translated MCP servers into <workdir>/opencode.json and removed the file on cleanup; review (#3098) flagged that the task workdir is reused across turns for the same (agent, issue), and any agent- or user-written model / tools / permission settings in opencode.json must survive across runs. OPENCODE_CONFIG_CONTENT avoids the workdir entirely — nothing is written to disk, no cleanup is needed, and the env entry dies with the spawned process. OPENCODE_CONFIG_CONTENT was added to OpenCode in v1.4.10 (2025-09); the official @opencode-ai/sdk uses the same env var to inject runtime config, so the surface is stable. Verified empirically against OpenCode 1.15.6 in our K8s runtime: `opencode debug config` returns the injected mcp slice deep-merged with the user's global config, and <workdir>/opencode.json is observably untouched. ## Translation surface `agent.mcp_config` accepts two shapes for portability: - Claude-style `{"mcpServers": {name: {url|command, ...}}}` is translated into OpenCode's native form: `type: "local"|"remote"`, `command` coerced to a string array, `env` renamed to `environment`. - Native OpenCode `{"mcp": {name: ...}}` accepts the three shapes OpenCode's schema permits and is strict-decoded against each: - McpLocalConfig: `{type:"local", command:[…], environment?, enabled?, timeout?}` - McpRemoteConfig: `{type:"remote", url:"…", headers?, oauth?, enabled?, timeout?}` - bare override: `{enabled: bool}` (toggle a server inherited from global / project config without redefining it) Decoding uses `json.DisallowUnknownFields` so any field outside the matching schema is rejected — matching OpenCode's `additionalProperties: false`. Without this, a malformed payload (e.g. `command: "node"` instead of `command: ["node"]`) would reach OpenCode verbatim and either silently disable the server or crash the CLI at startup. Field-level checks the strict decoder doesn't catch: - `timeout` must be a positive integer (rejects 0, negative, fractional) - `oauth` must be either an object (validated against McpOAuthConfig) or the literal `false`; primitives and `true` are rejected as ambiguous - `oauth.callbackPort` must be in 1..65535 when set ## Precedence Go's os/exec dedups `cmd.Env` by key keeping the LAST occurrence (Go 1.9+). Appending OPENCODE_CONFIG_CONTENT after `buildEnv(b.cfg.Env)` guarantees the daemon's value wins over any value the user happened to put in `agent.custom_env` — which matches the intended semantics (`mcp_config` is the authoritative daemon-managed field; `custom_env` is the escape hatch). When that override happens we surface a warning log so accidental clobbers are debuggable. ## Limitation (out of scope, accepted in review) OpenCode also deep-merges its **global** config (`~/.config/opencode/opencode.json`) into every session and exposes no flag to disable that. Operators who want strict per-agent isolation from the global layer can set: ```jsonc // agent.custom_env on the platform { "XDG_CONFIG_HOME": "/tmp/opencode-isolated" } ``` …pointing at any directory without an `opencode/` subdir. OpenCode then reads no global config and only honors what the daemon injects via OPENCODE_CONFIG_CONTENT. Verified with `opencode debug config`. ## Changes server/pkg/agent/opencode_mcp.go (new): - buildOpenCodeMCPConfigContent — translates raw mcp_config into the JSON string OpenCode accepts via OPENCODE_CONFIG_CONTENT, returns "" when there's nothing to inject so the caller can skip the env entry (avoids clobbering anything the user put in agent.custom_env.OPENCODE_CONFIG_CONTENT) - translateMCPConfigForOpenCode + helpers — Claude-style → OpenCode native shape - validateOpenCodeNativeMCPEntry + opencodeMCPLocal / opencodeMCPRemote / opencodeMCPEnabledOnly / opencodeMCPOAuth typed structs — strict-decode native-shape entries against the schema (DisallowUnknownFields), plus targeted post-decode assertions for timeout / oauth / callbackPort server/pkg/agent/opencode.go: - 12 lines of env injection in Execute(), placed AFTER buildEnv so the daemon's value wins via os/exec dedup - warning log when agent.custom_env duplicates the same key - no on-disk state, no rollback closure, no post-run cleanup — OPENCODE_CONFIG_CONTENT lives only in the spawned process env server/pkg/agent/opencode_mcp_test.go (new): - TestBuildOpenCodeMCPConfigContent_{Empty,Remote,Local,Native} - TestBuildOpenCodeMCPConfigContent_NativeAcceptsAllSchemaFields — covers each native variant round-tripping every optional field (local with env+timeout+enabled; remote with headers+oauth-object+ timeout+enabled; remote with oauth: false; bare {enabled} override) - TestBuildOpenCodeMCPConfigContent_RejectsMalformedNative — 31-case table covering every constraint on Bohan-J's review: command must be a string array, environment / headers values must be strings, oauth must be an object or false, timeout must be a positive integer, additionalProperties: false (per-shape allow-list checked via DisallowUnknownFields) - TestOpencodeBackendInjectsMCPConfigViaEnv — E2E happy path; fake opencode binary captures $OPENCODE_CONFIG_CONTENT, asserts the translated mcp slice is present AND <workdir>/opencode.json was NOT written - TestOpencodeBackendOmitsMCPEnvWhenEmpty — empty mcp_config does NOT inject the env, preserving any value the user set in agent.custom_env - TestOpencodeBackendOverridesUserOpenCodeConfigContent — daemon value wins via os/exec dedup keep-last apps/docs/content/docs/providers.{en,zh}.mdx: - flip OpenCode's MCP cell from ❌ to ✅ - reword the "MCP configuration: only Claude Code actually reads it" section so OpenCode is included; describe each tool's mechanism (Claude → `--mcp-config`, OpenCode → OPENCODE_CONFIG_CONTENT) apps/docs/content/docs/install-agent-runtime.{en,zh}.mdx: - update the Claude Code blurb (no longer "the only one") - expand the OpenCode blurb to mention mcp_config support - fix the now-broken /providers anchor Refs #2106 (TS types and per-agent UI for mcp_config are separate follow-ups, not in this PR).

What is Multica?
Multica turns coding agents into real teammates. Assign issues to an agent like you'd assign to a colleague — they'll pick up the work, write code, report blockers, and update statuses autonomously.
No more copy-pasting prompts. No more babysitting runs. Your agents show up on the board, participate in conversations, and compound reusable skills over time. Think of it as open-source infrastructure for managed agents — vendor-neutral, self-hosted, and designed for human + AI teams. Works with Claude Code, Codex, GitHub Copilot CLI, OpenClaw, OpenCode, Hermes, Gemini, Pi, Cursor Agent, Kimi, and Kiro CLI.
For larger teams, Squads add a stable routing layer: assign work to a group led by an agent, and the leader delegates to the right member.
Why "Multica"?
Multica — Multiplexed Information and Computing Agent.
The name is a nod to Multics, the pioneering operating system of the 1960s that introduced time-sharing — letting multiple users share a single machine as if each had it to themselves. Unix was born as a deliberate simplification of Multics: one user, one task, one elegant philosophy.
We think the same inflection is happening again. For decades, software teams have been single-threaded — one engineer, one task, one context switch at a time. AI agents change that equation. Multica brings time-sharing back, but for an era where the "users" multiplexing the system are both humans and autonomous agents.
In Multica, agents are first-class teammates. They get assigned issues, report progress, raise blockers, and ship code — just like their human colleagues. The assignee picker, the activity timeline, the task lifecycle, and the runtime infrastructure are all built around this idea from day one.
Like Multics before it, the bet is on multiplexing: a small team shouldn't feel small. With the right system, two engineers and a fleet of agents can move like twenty.
Features
Multica manages the full agent lifecycle: from task assignment to execution monitoring to skill reuse.
- Agents as Teammates — assign to an agent like you'd assign to a colleague. They have profiles, show up on the board, post comments, create issues, and report blockers proactively.
- Squads — group agents (and humans) under a leader agent and assign work to the squad. The leader decides who should pick it up, so routing stays stable as the team grows.
@FrontendTeaminstead of@alice-or-bob-or-carol. - Autonomous Execution — set it and forget it. Full task lifecycle management (enqueue, claim, start, complete/fail) with real-time progress streaming via WebSocket.
- Autopilots — schedule recurring work for agents. Cron triggers, webhooks, or manual runs — each autopilot creates the issue and routes it to an agent automatically, so daily standups, weekly reports, and periodic audits run themselves.
- Reusable Skills — every solution becomes a reusable skill for the whole team. Deployments, migrations, code reviews — skills compound your team's capabilities over time.
- Unified Runtimes — one dashboard for all your compute. Local daemons and cloud runtimes, auto-detection of available CLIs, real-time monitoring.
- Multi-Workspace — organize work across teams with workspace-level isolation. Each workspace has its own agents, issues, and settings.
Quick Install
macOS / Linux (Homebrew - recommended)
brew install multica-ai/tap/multica
Use brew upgrade multica-ai/tap/multica to keep the CLI current.
macOS / Linux (install script)
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/multica-ai/multica/main/scripts/install.sh | bash
Use this if Homebrew is not available. The script installs the Multica CLI on macOS and Linux by using Homebrew when it is on PATH, otherwise it downloads the binary directly.
Windows (PowerShell)
irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/multica-ai/multica/main/scripts/install.ps1 | iex
Then configure, authenticate, and start the daemon in one command:
multica setup # Connect to Multica Cloud, log in, start daemon

Getting Started
1. Set up and start the daemon
multica setup # Configure, authenticate, and start the daemon
The daemon runs in the background and auto-detects agent CLIs (claude, codex, copilot, openclaw, opencode, hermes, gemini, pi, cursor-agent, kimi, kiro-cli, agy) on your PATH.
2. Verify your runtime
Open your workspace in the Multica web app. Navigate to Settings → Runtimes — you should see your machine listed as an active Runtime.
What is a Runtime? A Runtime is a compute environment that can execute agent tasks. It can be your local machine (via the daemon) or a cloud instance. Each runtime reports which agent CLIs are available, so Multica knows where to route work.
3. Create an agent
Go to Settings → Agents and click New Agent. Pick the runtime you just connected and choose a provider (Claude Code, Codex, GitHub Copilot CLI, OpenClaw, OpenCode, Hermes, Gemini, Pi, Cursor Agent, Kimi, Kiro CLI, or Antigravity). Give your agent a name — this is how it will appear on the board, in comments, and in assignments.
4. Assign your first task
Create an issue from the board (or via multica issue create), then assign it to your new agent. The agent will automatically pick up the task, execute it on your runtime, and report progress — just like a human teammate.
