OpenCode Mastery: Building Provider-Agnostic AI Coding Workflows
Master OpenCode, the open-source AI coding agent. Learn to run local models with Ollama, connect cloud models via OpenRouter, use Plan and Build modes, and integrate MCP servers to build powerful applications without vendor lock-in.
Course Overview
Welcome to OpenCode Mastery. In this course, you will learn how to set up and leverage OpenCode—a fully open-source, model-agnostic AI coding agent—to build real-world applications without expensive subscriptions or vendor lock-in.
What You'll Learn
- Local AI Execution: Configure Ollama to run powerful open-source models like Gemma 4 locally on your machine.
- Cloud Flexibility: Connect OpenRouter to access over 75 cloud-based models in a single unified workflow.
- Multi-Agent Workflows: Master Plan and Build modes to systematically design and execute software features.
- Extensibility: Integrate Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers to connect external tools like Notion, Git, and custom APIs.
Prerequisites & Tools
- Prerequisites: Basic knowledge of programming concepts. No prior experience with AI agents is required.
- Tools Used: OpenCode, Ollama, OpenRouter, VS Code, and Python.
