Target Reference Server

Opencode Workbench Overview

The opencode-workbench MCP server provisions a versioned OpenCode workstation profile on a local or SSH-accessed Linux machine. It inspects the target, creates a clone plan, applies approved changes, and verifies the result through MCP tools. The profile can include OpenCode, configured MCP servers, agent skills, Docker infrastructure, and supporting tools. Reach for it when you need to reproduce a documented development workstation or recover one without manually rebuilding each component.

Primary Use Cases for Opencode Workbench:
  • Provision a reproducible OpenCode workstation on Linux
  • Clone the profile to a remote machine over SSH
  • Inspect a target before changing its configuration
  • Review privileged commands before applying a clone
