Story

The open-source OpenCode agent shipped a release that injects MCP server instructions into session context, adds MCP resource-template listing and resource-read tools, OpenCode-managed provider integration, and a lightweight --mini CLI mode (GitHub Releases). The MCP-centric changes track the broader 2026 trend: agents natively consuming server-provided instructions and resources instead of bespoke tool wiring per integration. If you're building on MCP, OpenCode is a useful reference for how a coding agent actually consumes server context in practice.
