Overview

OmniMux uses a single gateway Base URL: https://api.omnimux.ai (OpenAI-compatible clients typically use https://api.omnimux.ai/v1). Console: omnimux.ai/dashboard. Model IDs in this guide are examples — confirm with the console or GET /v1/models.
OpenCode is a Go-based open-source command-line programming tool (CLI) that provides powerful AI assistance for developers. It offers an intuitive Terminal User Interface (TUI) and supports multiple LLM providers including OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, and more. By integrating OpenCode with OmniMux API, you can access top-tier AI models including Claude, GPT, and Gemini series, enabling unified key multi-model access.

Prerequisites

Before configuring, make sure you have:

1. Terminal Emulator

OpenCode requires a modern terminal emulator. Recommended options:
  • WezTerm (cross-platform)
  • Alacritty (cross-platform)
  • Ghostty (Linux and macOS)
  • Kitty (Linux and macOS)
Windows users can also use PowerShell or Windows Terminal. macOS users can use the built-in Terminal.app or iTerm2. Linux users can use the built-in terminal or GNOME Terminal, Konsole, etc.

2. Get OmniMux API Key

  • Log in to OmniMux Console
  • Find API Keys in the dashboard, click ‘Create New Key’ button, then copy the generated Key
  • API Key usually starts with sk-

Step 1: Install OpenCode

Tip: If you don’t know how to open a command line terminal, see FAQ - How to open command line terminal The easiest way is through the install script:
Or using Homebrew:
Windows users should first install Node.js, then install via NPM:
Or using Chocolatey:
Or using Scoop:

Verify Installation

Success indicator: Shows version information. If you prefer a graphical interface, OpenCode also offers a desktop app available at OpenCode Download Page.

Step 2: Configure OmniMux API

1. Initialize Provider

After installation, run the following command in your terminal before launching OpenCode:
  1. In the provider list, select other (at the bottom, you can search for it)
  2. Enter Provider ID: type omnimux-anthropic
  3. Enter API Key token: you can enter any value (e.g., admin), the actual key is referenced via config file
This step registers a custom provider in OpenCode’s local credential manager.

2. Edit Config File

Open the OpenCode config directory: Press Win + R, paste the following, then press Enter:
In terminal, run:
Or access ~/.config/opencode/ in Finder/file manager Create or edit opencode.json in this directory:
⚠️ Important:
  • Replace "Your OmniMux API Key" with your actual API Key
  • JSON format is sensitive to symbols

Step 3: Start Using OpenCode

1. Launch OpenCode

After saving the config file, restart your terminal, then navigate to your working directory:
Launch OpenCode:

2. Verify Configuration

In the chat interface, enter the command:
You should see OmniMux Claude, OmniMux Gemini, and OmniMux GPT in the model list. Select one and you’re ready to go!

FAQ

1. What is OpenCode and what is it used for?

OpenCode is an open-source terminal AI coding assistant with a modern TUI interface. It supports code editing, file operations, and command execution, ideal for AI-assisted programming in terminal environments.

2. How do I verify installation and configuration on first use?

Run these steps in sequence:
  • opencode --version: Confirm OpenCode is installed
  • Launch OpenCode and enter /models: Confirm you can see the configured models

3. Where should the config file be placed?

The opencode.json config file should be placed at:
  • Windows: C:\Users\{username}\.config\opencode\opencode.json
  • macOS / Linux: ~/.config/opencode/opencode.json

4. What models does OpenCode support?

Through OmniMux API, OpenCode supports the following models: Claude series:
  • Claude Opus 4.6 / Sonnet 4.6: Latest generation models
  • Claude 4.5 Opus / Sonnet / Haiku: High-performance model family
Gemini series:
  • Gemini 2.5 Flash / Pro: Latest generation balanced models

  • Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite / Pro: Newest generation models with enhanced capabilities
GPT series:
  • GPT-5.1 / 5.2 / 5.4 / 5.5: OpenAI latest models
  • MiniMax M2.5: MiniMax high-performance model

5. How do I switch models?

In the OpenCode interface, enter the /models command, then select your desired model from the list.

6. Why don’t my config changes take effect?

  • Restart OpenCode
  • Check opencode.json syntax (JSON format)
  • Verify config file path is correct

7. What causes 401/403 errors?

  • 401 error: API Key not set or invalid
  • 403 error: Insufficient permissions or expired key
  • Check the apiKey in your config file

8. Will OpenCode automatically read or upload my local files and code?

OpenCode only reads file content when you explicitly authorize it. It’s recommended to use it in a dedicated project folder.

9. Does OpenCode support Chinese input and output?

Yes, fully supported.

10. What scenarios is OpenCode suited for?

Suited for:
  • Code writing, debugging, and refactoring
  • AI-assisted programming in terminal environments
  • File content analysis and processing
  • Users who prefer modern TUI interfaces
Not suited for:
  • Complex GUI interactions
  • Users unfamiliar with terminal operations

11. How to open command line terminal?

  • Method 1: Press Win + R, type cmd or powershell, then press Enter
  • Method 2: Search for “Command Prompt” or “PowerShell” in the Start menu
  • Method 3: Hold Shift and right-click in a folder, select “Open PowerShell window here”
  • Method 1: Press Command + Space to open Spotlight, type Terminal, then press Enter
  • Method 2: Go to “Applications” → “Utilities” → “Terminal”
  • Method 1: Press Ctrl + Alt + T shortcut
  • Method 2: Search for “Terminal” in the application menu

Notes

Run OpenCode in a dedicated project folder. Avoid running it in sensitive directories (such as system folders or directories containing credentials). OpenCode operates starting from the current working directory. OpenCode uses JSON format config files. Ensure your config file syntax is correct. You can use online JSON validators to check the format.
