TL;DR: Add jusCode as a custom "openai" provider in ~/.opencode/config.json with base_url https://api.juscode.co/v1 and your jcg_ key. Set jusCode-auto as the default model.
Use jusCode with OpenCode
OpenCode is an open-source terminal coding agent from SST, Claude Code's open-source cousin. It supports any OpenAI-compatible endpoint, which makes jusCode a one-line config change.
Why route OpenCode through jusCode?
- Cheaper. jusCode picks the most cost-effective capable model per call. You stop paying frontier prices for tasks that don't need it.
- Same UX. OpenCode behaves identically: autocomplete, edits, multi-file refactors all work.
- Vendor-independent. Switch underlying models without touching OpenCode config.
30-second setup
1. Mint a jusCode key
Sign in at juscode.co/login → dashboard → Keys tab → Mint key → copy the jcg_… token (shown once).
2. Configure OpenCode
OpenCode reads provider config from ~/.opencode/config.json. Add jusCode as a custom OpenAI-compatible provider:
{
"providers": {
"juscode": {
"type": "openai",
"base_url": "https://api.juscode.co/v1",
"api_key": "jcg_your_key_here",
"models": ["jusCode-auto"]
}
},
"default_provider": "juscode",
"default_model": "jusCode-auto"
}
The model name jusCode-auto is a virtual identifier; jusCode picks the actual underlying model. You can also pass any provider-prefixed model id (e.g. anthropic/claude-sonnet) and jusCode will honor it.
3. Run
opencode
Verify spend on your jusCode dashboard → Usage tab.
Pinning a specific model
If you want to override the auto-selector for a session:
opencode --model "anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.5"
# or
opencode --model "openai/gpt-5"
jusCode normalizes provider prefixes; you don't need accounts at each upstream provider.
What works
- ✅ Streaming responses
- ✅ Tool use (OpenCode's edit / shell / read primitives)
- ✅ Multi-file context
- ✅ System prompts
- ✅ Image inputs (auto-routes to vision-capable model)
Limits
- 60 RPM per key, 600 RPM per tenant (raisable in dashboard)
- No model fallback at the SDK level. jusCode handles upstream failures internally and retries with a different provider transparently.
Uninstall
Remove the jusCode provider from your OpenCode config in one command:
curl -fsSL https://juscode.co/install/uninstall.sh | sh # macOS · Linux · WSL
irm https://juscode.co/install/uninstall.ps1 | iex # Windows PowerShell
It removes the juscode provider from ~/.opencode/config.json (and points you to your config.json.juscode-bak backup if one exists). OpenCode stays installed. Full details: Uninstall jusCode.
