opencode-websearch

Native web search for OpenCode, powered by your model's built-in search capability. No extra API keys or search services required. If you're on a supported provider, it works without any extra setup.

Inspired by Claude Code's WebSearch tool.

Example

Asking OpenCode about the latest PostgreSQL version:

What's the latest Postgres version?

⚙ web-search [query=latest PostgreSQL release version April 2026]

As of now (April 2026), the latest PostgreSQL community release is PostgreSQL 18.3.

If you mean the latest major version line, that is PostgreSQL 18.

Supported providers

| Provider | What you need | | ---------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | Anthropic | An Anthropic provider/model in OpenCode with built-in web search support | | Moonshot (Kimi) | A Moonshot API key configured in OpenCode | | OpenAI / ChatGPT | OpenAI configured in OpenCode (API key or ChatGPT connected) | | GitHub Copilot | GitHub Copilot connected in OpenCode |

Model-level web search support depends on the provider and model you use.

Install

Add the plugin to your opencode.json and OpenCode will install it automatically on startup.

{
  "plugin": ["opencode-websearch"]
}

Configuration (optional)

By default the plugin uses your active model. The optional "websearch" flag lets you pin or provide a fallback model for search:

• "always": always use this model for web search
• "auto": use this model as fallback when your active provider is not supported

Selection order

• A model tagged "websearch": "always"
• Your active model (if on a supported provider)
• A model tagged "websearch": "auto"
• Otherwise, the tool returns an error

Example

{
  "provider": {
    "openai": {
      "models": {
        "gpt-5.2": {
          "options": {
            "websearch": "always"
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Development

Local development

Clone the repo and symlink the source entry into your OpenCode plugin directory:

git clone https://github.com/emilsvennesson/opencode-websearch ~/.config/opencode/opencode-websearch
cd ~/.config/opencode/opencode-websearch
bun install
mkdir -p ~/.config/opencode/plugin
ln -sf ~/.config/opencode/opencode-websearch/src/index.ts ~/.config/opencode/plugin/websearch.ts

OpenCode loads the plugin directly from source at startup.

When using this symlink setup, remove "opencode-websearch" from the plugin array in opencode.json to avoid loading it twice.

Commands

bun install
